Default Stillen wing on a roadster--what do you guys think

My Greddy body kit is coming in two weeks for my roadster and wondering of the Stillen wing or any small wings will look good on the roadster.

Thumbs down

The body kit will probably be cool. Wings on the roadster, however, are an abortion.

Don't interrupt the gorgeous flow of the roadster headrest fairings and the rounded rear end - it's poetry. Add a "wing" to the roadster and you might as well get an Eclipse.

Default Wing or spoiler

I think the spoiler looks good on the roadster but dont care for the wings I have seen so far. If you want a rear spoiler to go with the kit try DAR in Texas. They make one specific for the roadster.

I don't think it will fit due to the angle of the truck. I was going to buy a similar wing on ebay and the guy told me that it will not fit. The truck angle of the coupe is different than the roadster.

Default conclusion: no wing, Greddy body kit only

Stillen has a wing for 350z roadsters but based on this forum, my wife and co workers no one recomended a wing so the conclusion is......no wing

thank you guys for the input......

I just received Factory Style Spoiler that I ordered on ebay. I have to open it today and see how it looks. Than I am going to install it.

Should be interesting, I have read mixed messages on a factory OEM spoiler fiting the Roadster. I.e. both pro and con
I had OEM spoiler but decided to go with the DAR spoiler for Roadsters. http://www.texasdar.com/homepage.asp

Even DAR instructions where wrong ....you should not drill the center hole on there spoiler because it is in line with the internal latch hardware (bracket). Found this out the hard way drilling through the deck :>)

Please follow up and let us know on the fit. For what it's worth I set the two spoilers side by side and could not see any noticable difference in fabrication.
