Default Difference between these 2 spoilers?

Does anyone here see a difference between these 2 spoilers? I'm looking to buy the Stillen rear spoiler, did a search and found this:





Then, found this one. Said to be a Kaminari rear spoiler:






I want the Stillen spoiler, but that and the Kaminari look similar to my eyes. Anyone disagree? Hope the owners of these pictures don't mine me posting them.
Any suggestions or opinions?

Thanks,
Bill

Those are both Kaminari, the Stillen type 1 looks similar. Though does completely cover the rear trunk area. Both of those are open.

Nope, the Sunset is actually the Stillen type 1. It looks a bit different than the origincal pics Stillen had on their web site. Their site a has few new photos that show the indentation in the back lower part of the spoiler as shown here...

If you look closer at the lining down or edge at the bottom part of the spoiler, the Le mans' is pretty much straight across while the Pikes Peak white's spoiler is slightly curved. That's the difference I see.

Same here, it's just a slight difference. But both wings are the same pretty much, right? I think I'm going to just go with the one on the Sunset car, which is Stillen, right? I think it is atleast.

Look similar to me. However, before you do anything, you might want to read some of the posts on Stillen customer service.

Also, do you want to keep the emblem in the back? It appears that the Stillen (the straight one) does not allow the use of the emblem, while the curved one does.

I wouldn't order direct from Stillen, I'd pick another vender such as Avalon. I'm not sure if I care about the emblems, I just want a spoiler, car looks sad without one. But both spoilers look pretty much the same, except where it curves and one is straight on the back trunk, I think?

Default Heehe!

That Sunset is DaKings car...

ASK him about the HUGE dimple he has in the middle of it...not sure about the quality of those Stillen wings (thats what his is).

Not sure if they were able to remedy that problem with later production runs.....

They look like different wings to me - see how the one on the white car is bowed to allow the Nissan badge, while the sunset one is flat across? Also the edges where it curves into the midle on the abse of the wing is more pronounced on the Sunset car, a bit more gradual on the sunset car...

I think I'm just going to go with the kaminari wing, unless Stillen fixed their problem.
