Which style of spoiler should I get?
 
No flames...just opinions...and pointers.
I'm thinking of adding a spoiler to my CS MT Touring. But can't decide if I should get the one that comes on the track model from courtesyparts.com ($359), or the one from japanparts.com ($738).
All I'm looking for is the looks, because I don't race, and I know that just adding a front and rear spoiler will not make my car as aerodynamic as the track model. I will need the extra underbody cladding for that, which I'm not gonna get.
The spoiler from courtesyparts will come painted and ready to mount, the one from japanparts will not come painted.
So what do you guys think?

Get the factory one that comes with the areo package if you're going to add one.

Shags,
I too am going to be researching my spoiler options..but don't need to worry quite yet in that I don't have my Z (due in this next week). Anyway, what is the difference between the two spoilers you mention? I am only familiar with the stock option and the Nismo spoiler.

Never mind...just went to the Japanparts site and found that you ARE talking about the Nismo option. I will reserve my final opinion until I can see more pictures of the Nismo installed from different angles, but my current opinion is for it. Between the stock spoiler and none, I go with none. Between stock with no spoiler and the Nismo...I am leaning towards the Nismo....anyone install yet with pics...please anti up to help the rest of us out!

the nismo spoiler looks so much better then the factory one.

Both are some of the most tasteful spoilers I have seen.

The NISMO one is much more racy (thats wth an "a") and, being a wing, definately more imposing. It makes sure people know its a sports car (although, most spoilers now adays are on shitty cars so...). It blocks the gorgeous rear 3/4 view a little, but the side profile looks a little more agressive.

The stock spoiler is MUCH more subtle, but will help the car stand out a little. I really didn't like it in the pictures, but found myself really liking it in person, I can go either way, with or without, as they both look great. Give the rear even more "poke", but does make the rear slightly more cluttered. Again, some veis looks better, some not...

Go with either one, but ithink its much safer (and cheaper) to go stock.

NISMO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :icon04: :icon04: :icon04:

Nismos are pretty nice. I wouldnt get anything too fancy for the spoiler, it will overdo the Z..and please no airplane wannabe kinda of wings.:p
