Thanks for the additions! Any more pics of the Trial or Blitz from different camera angles? Definitely contenders...I'm likeing the Balsarini more and more...but don't have as many angles of the others to give a fair comparison! Anyone want to put together a compilation of these wings along with their prices for us? I don't know where you guys got all these options! Even Mfg. suggested retail will give us some idea to go by.

Wait a minute!

Now I like the Hasemi Sport the best....I think.

It is definitely in the running. I wish it were just a little bit larger (like 15-20% larger).

But now we are getting closer to the ultimate non-ricey, conservative aftermarket spoiler for this car!

Thanks for the heads-up and the pics on that, Bobbyboy!
You've given me cause to re-examine everything!

Here are links to a few more high rez pics of the trial spoiler.

Trial 1

Trial 2

Trial 3

Personally i like the look of the blitz spoiler more. It looks like the stock spoiler but more elongated and wraps to the body more

Blitz 1

And then there is there is the central 20 in FRP or Carbon which ls like a larger version of the stock, but it doesnt seem to flow to the body as well as the Bltiz one

Central 20

I wouldnt be able to qoute any prices, you might want to contact monkeyman or valuetl for prices since they seemed to know more about these japanese parts.

Just realized in the pics of the Balsarini the rear "Nissan" emblem is missing. Looks like it has to be removed. Is this one only "stuck" on? Or are there holes that would have to be filled under it? Figured why I like it so much: reminds me of the *** end of a Lexus convertible! Also...who knows how much this wing is? There were some prices on the site and I'm sure I could convert from yen...but couldn't determine how much for what because descriptions were in Japanese!

My personal fave is the ING +1, but I think out of the two you chose, they are different enough that it would depend on what else you did to the car. If you were going to do nothing else to the car, I would go with the balisari.

I can't get over the Hasemi Sport.

It rocks! It emphasizes the "roundness" of the rear.

I don't care for that big "Nissan" badge on the back.
I'd love to get rid of it.

So am I to undertand it has holes drilled in the lid to hold it on???

With the Hasemi you won't have to remove it (at least from the pictures posted). But with the Balsarini I will have to. Anyone know if there are holes in the trunk holding the emblem on? I assume if there are they are covered by the spoiler itself. I repeat...can anyone tell me what this one costs? I PM'd Monkeyman asking him to visit over here...but no luck yet.

Actually, I'd love to get rid of that stupid Nissan badge.
It is HUGE!

I have never seen a price on the Balsarini kit (yet). I'll keep my eyes open as I search the web.

Does anyone know the price and distributer for the Hasemi Sport?

Well, unless I'm guessing wrong, I'll be paying more than you for the Balsarini. It seemed pretty evident from the Hasemi site that it lists for 33,000 yen. The Balsarini site had two prices next to the pic of the spoiler...one for 45,000 and the other for 68,000 yen. I assume the 45,000 is more likely based on the price listed of the Hasemi. I have to look at a conversion chart to even catch a clue as to how much we are talking...but won't take into account import and/or any discounts off msrp.

Just checked: $1=120 yen
Presumed MSRP for Hasemi spoiler = $275
Presumed MSRP for Balsarini spoiler = $375

Not bad...but how bad do we get dinged to import?

I, as should everyone here, bestow upon you an invaluable z-point for your discovery.

That is way cheaper than I expected.
Hmmmm. It's way different than the Nismo, that is for sure.
As you can see by the voting, the club is pretty well spit as well.

I think the Hasemi accentuates the lines of the car, and is almost Audi-TT-like in its angle. I like it.

I wish it were a little bigger.

The GOOD thing about the Hasemi spoiler is that it looks as if it could be fitted with NO modifications to the car, if it uses the factory mounting holes!

Ya gotta love that part, if it is so.

Anyone know???

This poll is so evenly split, I don't know what to think!

On some days I like the NISMO, but the other half of the time I think it is "too much."

That leaves what is, IMHO, the sharpest looking of the conservative spoilers:
the Hasemi and the Balsarini.

I wish this board were not so over-run with useless polls, otherwise I'd narrow a new poll down to just those two "conservative" ones.

At least my current poll's "closeness" validates the question.

Thought I had posted another response here...but don't see it. You guys should check out the Blitz spoiler and the Vertex also. They are both conservative, but I've only seen one angle of each so it is hard to say how much I like them...so far it is the Balsarini for me.

I gotta say the Nismo one looks the best to me. The ones that protrude off of the back seem to break up the lines of the beautiful rear end.
