I mean my vert has aerosync front and some very minimal skirt add-on's and widened rear fenders... So that's my preference. But for the style this car is trying to do, I think the v3 fits the lines much better. With the long nose and the diffuser hanging off the trailing edge of the car, a wing that follows suit looks much better than the v1 which kind of squats down and into... nothing lol.

The one thing I've learned about roadsters is pictures never do the car justice. You kind of have to think about it in person which is hard to do. Even stock the car can look super fugly in pics, yet in person I really like the shape. So it's kind of weird. I'd definitely like to see it tried though. I've got a little gurney style duckbill that I'm working on.

Still debating whether I should bend over and pay $1600 shioped for a black OEM V3 wing or $200 for a replica, local pick up. The replica will be one solid piece and need to be fitted and then painted. The OEM wing is in a few pieces and is already painted the right color. I may need to modify it to fit my roadster trunk....
Its hard to swallow a $1600 pill so I may wait til a better deal comes along.....

I think this would be a more complimentary wing on the roadster.

It seems you got many more variants than we did in the UK.
We got only got 2 specs and 99% are GT's.
I have a low mile, one previous owner GT, roadster that is completely original.
I've considered fitting the nismo v2 kit, but I hate fibreglass and I'm a bit reluctant to mod as original Z's are getting rare now.
I would fit a nismo stune if I could find a decent one.
I agree with the spacer comment above.

I thought about getting the replica and then buying the real one later. The only problem is that it adds to the total cost. Assuming I pay $200 for replica, and $100 for paint. Im already $300 down, plus Id have to spend the big bux for the real deal later. However, it would have the advantage of seeing what I need to do to fit the piece to my car.
I was thinking about dressing up the gauges a bit but nothing over the top like changing colors or adding graphics. My Triumph motorcycle has black gauges and a white tachometer and it looks great. Here is the 350z gauges using the same idea:

My understanding is that the roadster, with its trunk, doesn't allow the V3 spoiler without having it fit. I don't know if that has ever been confirmed, but that's what I have been reading. I don't believe anyone has ever actually tried to fit a V3 on a roadster Z.
