Default Help me choose a new spoiler. Got it narrowed down...

Here are a couple pics of my car and the two spoilers I have it narrowed down to. Looking to keep the top profile of the car sleek, so sticking with stock style spoilers that are just a bit larger and more agressive that would compliment the rest of my kit well.

Choice 1: Motorsport LeMans spoiler
Looks good from the top and side. Not sure if I like the large overhang area.

Choice 2: Motorsport Laguna Seca Type 2 (painted)
Rear contour detail along hatch and hamburger looks like it would match the detail on the v1 rear skirt well. Wish they had a FRP one; don't really need or want CF.

Choice 3: keep stock spoiler

Choice 4: Any other suggestions? Post 'em up with pics!

My car:



Motorsport wings (painted is LeMans, CF is Laguna Seca):

Default Le mans wing

I dont know if this helps, but the Le Mans wing is the popular wing we have sold. No complaints.

The first one looks like a Central20 wing (always a goodie), but somehow the 2nd one looks really appealing~

In all honesty, if you're going for such a small visual change, why spend the money if there isn't a wing you've fallen in love with? I personally love the stock spoiler, just a tasteful edge to finish off the back of the car.

Main reason I'm considering a change is that compared to the two Motorsport options, the stock spoiler just doesn't have much visual impact from the side profile shot and the rest of my kit overwhelms it a little visually, IMO. Keeping it stock is still an option, though; whatever everyone thinks looks best.

Thanks for the votes and suggestions, guys; keep 'em coming!

I was looking at those two wings as well and the evo-r wing... I may have gone with the laguna seca if it wasnt CF as well (I have a love/hate relationship with cf)... but going from a wingless z, I think I am going to pickup an OEM spoiler...

Well, poll results so far are overwhelmingly in favor of just keeping the OEM spoiler. Looks like that's what I'll do; thanks for all the input!

IMO those spoilers are too close to stock to even waste the money on one.. Keep stock or maybe get something a little more distinct..

they suck, stick with stock.

spend the money to replace your side skirts with the JDM ones. that'll make your car look better than any wing change!

or possibly (if someone makes it) get a little duck tail. lieka stock one that sticks up just a little more.

you could eat lunch off those other wings. everytime you come out of a store you'll have three teenagers chowing down on mcdonalds on the wing of your car. I don't want that.

The le mans wing that he has picture looks exactly like what you are talking about... similar to data systems ... like stock but sticks up a little higher.

I originally wanted the JDM sides, but they are rediculously expensive compared to USDM and are fiberglass as opposed the the USDM urethane; I just couldn't justify it and the diff between the two isn't even as noticable as the diff. between the stock spoiler and the Motorsport one's I'm considering.

I'd hardly call either of the Motorsport wings a picnic table; they're only slightly larger than stock, not like they're GT wings or anything...

Actually, the Motorsport Daytona wing is more like that; sticks up like a ducktail, similar to a TT wing. I don't care for it.

Hmm, yeah, I have some pics I took of your car at last month's meet. I'll have to check them out when I get home; can't call up the Central 20 wing in my memory at the moment.

Someone mentioned the Evo-R wing that's similar to the one's I posted. I don't like it; not a fan of how it spills over the back, leaving a big seam at the bottom of it. It also neccessitates the omission of the hatch hamburger, which I want to keep.
