Default Which SUBTLE spoiler?

I need a somewhat subtle rear spoiler. Perhaps just the stock one would do, but where could i buy that? And what else would you guys recommend? Something along those lines though. Perhaps a bit bigger though, lets see some pics!

The only two I really like are the stock one, which you could probably get from your Nissan dealer or online somewhere, or the NISMO one, but it's not really subtle.

these are my favorites. i like how the vertex spoiler edges roll slightly at the tips and the data system spoiler is really identical to stock just a little bigger.

I personally ordered the Blitz Wing. Other spoilers I was looking at was the Data Systems & Central 20. All of which are very subtle which is what I also was looking for.

This is a picture of a Balsarini "knock off" made by www.evo-R.net called the Modena. I actually went with a "knock off" because I heard that the actual Balsarini rear spoiler was poorly made, whereas this one was really solid. This was one of the first ones that they made and it didn't cover the "emblem" holes, but I believe their new one does (Modena II).

You know... whenever i see a pic of the data systems spoiler on websites (like the pic ajk4 posted) it didn't really do much for me. But after seeing the pic neur0sis posted... it looks SWEET!!

You could always go with an Ings half kit spoiler too, it's not too tall or obnoxious.

Ah, but there's more to the story...

Behind the stock emblem are two holes and they need to be covered up one way or another. Since the bottom of the spoiler was not low enough (it was installed where it was supposed to be) the holes were not covered up. In addition the stock emblem no longer fit! I had no idea what to do so I sat on the edge of the passenger seat and was looking down at the ground when I saw the Z emblem staring at me from the door sill... I pryed it off and the top of the Z fit over the holes perfect! That said, the new one (Modena II) now comes down low enough so that it covers the holes so you don't need to worry about it.

BTW, here is my current spoiler that is actually somewhat subtle as well. This is the G35 spoiler and with a little bit of work it fits on the rear deck very nicely. Plus I bought the Tommy Kaira red "Z" emblem and it fits better this time!

Holy camber! What are you dropped on and did you have to roll the fenders? I'm going to be in the same situation soon

Yeah, the camber does look bad in that picture, but in reality it's really not that bad. I have Eibach Pro springs which dropped it ~1 inch in the back. Plus I have Tokico D Specs on it. And yes, I did have the fenders rolled because my previous rims were 20 X 10.5 and did rub a little bit.

BTW, you can click my signature to see my current setup (and yet another one of the rear spoilers (Vizage) that has been on my car!).

Mine is suppossedly dropped 1.2" in the rear, and your car looks lower (maybe just the angle)--but my camber is just as bad (in pics). Thanks for the information, car is looking sweet!

I will need to run some neg. camber b/c of how agressive my offset will be.

Thanks,
ravi
