Default What spoiler for roadster looks closet to factory?

I'm not crazy about the stillen. I want that nice low profile factory look. I was told the factory model only fits the coupe. And yes I've searched, but dont see an answer to this specific question.

Thanks!
Chad

Check out the Blitz wing, I think it would compliment the lines of the roadster.

I don't think Blitz make one for convertible. There is an oem spoiler for roadster. I had the oem spoiler on mine. It was ok but the Stillen compliment the car better but too bad you don't like it. A lot guys at my weekly meet like stillen spoiler on mine than the oem.

You're saying nissan makes an OEM spoiler for the roadster? I've checked with Courtesy Nissan (z experts) and I've been told no. Also checked the parts diagram myself and not seeing one. Do you have the nissan part #?

Maybe I should have been more clear. When I said "which looks closest to factory", I meant which aftermarket spoiler that will fit the roadster looks closest to the factory version they put on the coupe model (because as far as I know they didnt make the roadster with a factory spoiler).

Thanks!

The one that I had on mine was from http://www.spoilerdepot.com/spoilers...er/item-02137/. Nissan do not have one for roadster but spoiler depot has one closest to factory one find on a coupe.

yes I've looked at several online now and this is definitely closest-to-coupe factory look. Thanks for your help NismoZR!

What prices is one looking at for the Shine spoiler and the unit from Spoiler Depot, I'm a newbie and looking to spice up my o6 roaster.
Are they difficult to install?
Thanks guys

Bought mine for my 06 and it is a piece of cake to put on-you may consider getting a strip of wider 3m tape for the middle, but otherwise fits well. Had it for 3 years with no problems.

Thanks guys. I give credit to RedLeader since I bought it used from him. I saw the pics of his car and I had to have it. Months later, I ended up buying his rear bumper too. LOL

I know we spoke via PM but I wanted to copy info here for everyone else.

The original design is by Central 20. A tuner company in Japan.

Link to Translated Central 20 Page

You can get the spoiler unpainted FRP or even more rarely, in Carbon Fiber. (But you pay the price)

Mine is a copy of the Central 20 spoiler made by Shine Auto. If you check their website, you can not find the listing for this spoiler. However, if you look at the product listing in their forum, you will see this listed. Give them a call and see if you can still get it.

http://www.shineautoproject.com/

Part listing: (Z33-RTS-C20R) 350z Central 20 Style Rear Trunk Spoiler For Roadster Only FRP $150

Installation is just using 3M tape. Very easy and sticks very well.
