Default gauging spoiler interest again..please respond..

so far here is the plan...

i like the balsarini spoiler but it isnt aggressive enough.. too much like stock spoiler but still a little better.

we are going to take that design and have the rear tip "lip" up about 3-4 inches higher than the balsarini one.

i need to get a feel of how many people are interested and would possibly buy this before going any further. I need to judge cost for the mold shipping etc.... so ther more people the better the price.

if we only sell 2 or 3 there is no point and i will just make one for myself (aka no mold) ... but i dont want my body work guy to invest in the mold and such if it doesnt go over well...

so PLEASE give me honest opinions and whether you would consider buying.. i will probably give the first 1-2 buyers an amazing price just to get some people to review it etc...

that depends on interest.. more people = cheaper to make = maybe urethane.

I agree..I was mainly pointing out they have a pretty nice design ideally a little more agreesive would help out ..maning not so flat across from the side it looks too much like the G35 coupe spoiler.
but thats a good starting point yeah I might be interested in a urenthane.

Looks like the Ings rear trunk spoiler to me... and that's the spoiler I've been dying for but no one's made a decent replica. based on the reports from this forum, I won't spend my $$$ on bavaria's replica.

If you made a mold of the Ings, I'm pretty sure you'd have a huge demand for it. Also, it's my understanding that for spoilers, there isn't as much of a need for the material to be polyurethane because it doesn't run the risk of hitting anything and therefore doesn't need as much flex. shouldn't FRP be the cheapest and easiest way to go? just asking cause I don't know.

yes maybe it is a cross between balsarini an ings. but you will still get to keep the rear emblem which both of the others require you to ditch

that's true, but the double line across the back (trunk line and spoiler line) that it creates isn't very appealing... IMHO.

with the INGS, removing the rear emblem and going down to the trunk line creates a much cleaner look. again, just my two cents.

if you end up making an INGS replica, or if anyone does, let me know.

great idea though.

Actually, I think a lot of us would want to get rid of the rear emblem if we had the chance, and only have the 350Z sticker back there.

I like the Balsarini quite a lot, but apparently they filled the holes for that pic car.

How about the Data System wing shown here??

I like this one and never hear anything about it. Its a little more flashy than stock, but not like "hey look at that 747 wing"
