Default Nismo rear wing on roadster? ...any pics?

I saw the 2012 Nismo in the showroom over the weekend and although it has an integrated 3rd brake light I remember seeing a carbon fiber replica and wondered what it would look like on a roadster and if you could even see through it. If it's been done before and someone has a picture, could you please post. If not, maybe that lip wing then.

are we talking about 370s or what.. 2012 equals 370z.. youre searching for a 350z roadster with a Nismo version wing.. so.. what version nismo wing are you talking about? 1? 2?
also roadster trunk is quite a bit diff than the coupe, most wings are no where near compatible unless they are TOTALLY only mounting on the trailing edge... certanly not a nismo.

There is no Nissan option for a spoiler/wing on the 2012 roadster.
The rear deck is completely different than the coupe.Also,the roadster's
deck is really high.A wing such as a Nismo(won't fit)is gonna look terrible.
I'm sure you can find a wing with vertical standards that you could adapt
on a roadster.IMO,the design of the roadster just not lend itself to a large wing.
A Blitz type wing looks pretty good on the 350 roadster.

I didn't think it was that confusing.

I have A 08 Roadster. I have seen the small lip wing on the coupe (thought those were OEM) but the back edge of the roadster trunk tilts up, so I don't think that would work. I saw A 2012 Nismo in the showroom. I'm not sure if they are up to Ver 3 or not but the wing looked sweet. I already have the wheels.


Problems may be height since I believe the roadsters roof is lower (optical illusion, maybe). Visibility, yes I would think that would be an issue. Third brake light could be an issue as the 370Z has it built in to the wing.


It would be all carbon fiber and my car is black on black. The only thing else I like is the Nismo side skirts. Not the one piece but the one that is two pieces on each side.

370z parts do not fit on 350z parts unless you are talking about modifying them at a body shop.

^^^^This. It was confusing because you never mentioned a 350z in your original post, just the 370.

They can't be that much different. It's too expensive for a major remodel. The frame would be the same. The trunk width should be the same. I'm not sure if it's contoured differently but the last time I looked at the 370ZR the only body differences I noticed were the rear tail lights (fronts also) and the trunk mounted antenna. So if the 370Z Nismo wing fits on A 370ZR then it should fit on A 350ZR. I'm not sure if the coupe trunk is all slanted or the the section of the wing is flat. I could use A dummy antenna cover to plug the 3rd brake light hole to use the one on the wing but it's a lot of work and money for maybe's.

Side skirts but I want them in Carbon Fiber

The 350z and the 370z are totally different cars - everything is different (as in EVERYTHING!), it was not a simple mid production refresh.

Even spoilers between the 350z coupe and roadster are not directly interchangeable.

So I doubt any body pieces will directly bolt on without modification.

I didn't think they were that different. I know the front suspension changed, front & rear lights, interior (seats, dash, etc). I may or may not have the same Z34 dual intake engine. Rear is not wider, just no longer has lip on wheel well. But if it won't fit on A 370ZR then I guess it's not worth trying on A 350ZR.

Ummm the Z34 is wider and shorter than the Z33... there's a lot more than what you've posted.

You may not, meaning, you do not. You're off by 30-40hp.
