The wing comes unpainted. Anybody have any estimate on what painting the wing and mounting it may cost?

Here is a picture of the wing.

That is the wing I have been looking for. I have been looking, but somehow I missed that particular photo. Where did you get it and what was your cost?
BTW, I have a quote of $300 to paint/install wing. Not sure if that is in an acceptable range and so I would also like to hear from others on paint/install. Regards, Jim

If you go to the stillen website (www.Stillen.com) also note the supercharger released article , click on sports cars and its one of the featured items there. Its listed at $368 unpainted and $41 for shipping. Another site was selling it for $360 but after I started ording it they said it was $97 shipping!!

I seen somebody with this wing at our CT Z meet and I fell in love with it. Next on my wish list:

--Borla Exhaust
--Maido GR5 19's

Ok so I can live with 200-300. My friend knows somebody that is part owner of a body shop so i'm gonna see if I can get a deal.

I am the one from CT meet with stillen wing. Ok, I got this wing for 320.00 and I painted it for $50.00. Installation is easy but you'll have to drill your trunk otherwise double sided tape that this wing comes with comes off if you leave your car on the sun. That's what happened to me at the meet and I had to park my car away from everyone in the shade so it does not fall off. Now I used two screws, instead of four that you suppose to use, and the wing is fine. you can check this pic from the meet: https://my350z.com/gallery/albuq09/aal

Nice! Can I still find it for that $260 figure? How about the removal of the center badge? How did you do it? (two holes)
I would really like to see your wing shot from the back and slightly above by 3", 4" or so from maybe 3 or 4 feet away if possible. Thanks, Jim

Price I posted before was wrong: I paid 320 for it. These are the picks of my friend's car from the show with this wing:

Default Ahhhhh, nice

Those are the pix I have been wanting to see! Especially in view of the fact I have the Le Mans too so this helps a bunch. Thanks again, Jim

Nice to hear from ya! The meet was allot fun, expecially racing around on the highway on the way to Lime rock even though we got lost for awhile. I have at least 30 mins of good digital video from the meet, soon as I get aroound to editing it.

Thanks for the info, I spoke with a guy I know at a body shop and he said he can do it for me for around $200, possibly less depending on how long the install takes. I am now tossing around ideas of if I want to keep the emblems removed or order one of the larger size custom "Z" emblem and mount it just below the center of the wing.
