Thumbs up Nismo Style Carbon Fiber Wing with GT Legs

Some people just don't like GT wings. I know most poeple like the nismo wings, but don't like it's base. It is heavy too. I had an idea to make the nismo wing into GT wing. I made a set of custom base legs. I have 2 versions FRP and carbon fiber. Here is the proto types: (This is proto type. not on sale yet)

Good idea! Could look nice, but I'll have to hold my opinion until I see it on a Z.

I love the GT style wing w/ carbon fiber. I'll probably have to get that one if the price is reasonable.

We'll make the leg a bit shorter. This one looks a bit too high. There will be a Z logo on the legs. We'll leave it flate black to match up with carbon fiber. I'll set a price once we have tht final version. Next week I'll have the legs CNC custom make.

thats what im talkin about

i have been trying to convince jay (aka evo-r) to cut off that ugly nismo base

i just got off the phone with him ....and he is going to have the wing in CF..including the stands in CF....

to all those that are confused

he is going to cut the ugly part of the "stock" nismo base..and just leave the two posts ..and he going to wrap the posts in CF..which means a full CF wing

IMO the gt wing isnt bad either..but ive been wanting a full CF

im going to take my car to jay sometime next week so he can take pictures of the wings on my car

he is going to take a picture of the nismo GT and he also has a balsarini style in CF


PROPS TO EVO-R

Well thats too bad. I dont really want a carbon fiber one. I plan on painting the wing to match the car, so i didnt want to waste the extra money on carbon fiber. But i guess i can just paint the carbon fiber wing anyways.

So would the $400 include the mounts? And how would the mounts look. Would they be the gt style or other. I'm really thinkin this and a lip would look sweet. Guess i'd have to get some sides skirts and some coil overs too. And while i have the wheels off i might as well get some stoptechs. Oh god, it's started.
