I've had mine for quite of few years. Everyone has different taste (to each his own) but this style wing IMHO looks great on my ZR. The coupe & roadster are different wings when ordering. Spoilersmart has the best pricing! I've received many compliments from PM's here and Z Events plus car shows in general where I've won several awards so far. When people find out it's a Celica replica wing they always say WOW!
Here are some pics...some new some old.

Hahaha...the fuel door is a long story. Originally advertised as aluminum, but it was all chrome. I made them change their ad to chrome, I could of return it or accept a deep discount, I took the discount. After trying & failed in various ways in matching the door handles, I finally ending up with the outter piece in chrome and the lid black. It's unique & one-of-a-kind too!

I have always been fond of Sluggo's spoiler. It looks very good on the ZR. Although the spoiler mounts with two braces, it is not high, and maintains a low profile. Also, it is a great value.

OP, imo the strosek wing looks nearly the same, is actually made for the 350z, and replicas can be had in frp or carbon fiber on ebay for less than 250.

far better idea imo as it has hole templates for our car and is 350z specific. It does generally require an OEM lip wing and should be installed w screws all the way thru the decklid.

there is ALOT of cr@p put there, but i can attest that the fitment of even the amuse replica is quite good and is FULLY functional and CHEAP.

i like the celica wing on the black roadster there.
only reason i prefer it to the strosek, mainly because I really dislike the fact that it has to be mounted on the oem spoiler.

just saying. its pretty dope.. and workls wonders.. instead of purely for looks.

it has a gurney flap on its trailing edge and an actual reverse airfoil shape. and the mouting is unreal strong. i paid 250 for paint and install, dunno.. jsut a very cheap spoiler that works extremely well.
I'll get outta the way now.

@bmccann101: I too like the Strosek. There seems to be correlation in design with the 911 TT, the only difference being not having motorized height adj.



Compared to Celica wing, the Strosek design is similar (U-shape), only difference being bracket location and not having aggressive folded ends. Another observation made is the differnece in angle/pitch of wing, as the Celica is more level.

Picture below is Brother NismoZR' ZR with Strosek wing.
