Default Spoiler opinions

Hey guys,

I'm realling looking into buying the veilside v1 spoiler. Although, I would like some last minute opinions. I was looking at 350junkie's thread called "veilside kit installed" and many people were saying lose the spoiler. If you do or dont like the spoiler, could you share your opinions as to why? Or maybe offer some better alternatives to the V1 that I could check out? I'm looking for a very subtle and clean look. Im not putting something like the V3 body kit on, not that I dont like it, it's just very wide and adds alot of curves. I may just lower the car on tanabes and get a lower rear and side skirts. But I really wanted a spoiler that looks good and isnt too big. Keep in mind I would be getting the V1 CF version. Thanks!

Thanks, awesome suggestions guys, I'll be sure to look into those more. Although, the blitz is more like a flash spoiler which isnt exactly what im going for, I need an elevated wing that looks sharp and not too large/high. For example, I would never get the v3 wing, it would never suit the look im going for and it would look unbalanced. As far as the V1 spoiler, I really do like it too. I was just wondering why so many people were saying take it off on that other thread, is there something im missing? or something about the spoiler that I dont know about? I was just wondering as to why people didint seem to like it too much. Also is 3m tape secure to hold an entire spoiler? I've never used it before

3m taping a spoiler is stupid for the most part, someone could just pull the spoiler off. you want it secured with hardware as well

Is it that easy to pull it off ?
I really dont want do drill the hatch if possible, that one of the reason I might go with V1 spoiler.

If I put the holes on the hatch , I am gonna have a problem selling the car when I am parting it later on.

Is any one experienced stolen spoiler ?

On the Z... big things that take away from the car's curves (and makes it ugly) are horrible and not accepted.

^^ I agree, which is why I prefer the V1, as opposed to bigger things like the V3. And yes im pretty sure you have to drill the hatch, but in the end its worth it, it's more secure.

He stated he was asking opinions cause in another thread everyone told the guy to take the spoiler off. I have a Veilside and I love it. I don't understand why people put down other members rides so much cause they don't like something or think it's rice. Unless your that guy with the Riced out blue Z all over the net most of the cars are not that bad.

that was the whole point of my post. you should get the one you like, who cares what others think about it since it is your car.

Fifty, opinions are simply something that im open to. I just wanna get some ideas before I start modding out my exterior. For example, I didint even know what the blitz spoiler looked like before it was suggested to me, and even though it's not the look im going for, it was nice to get some ideas and see new things. The point of this thread is just feedback, if you said the v1 absolutely sucked, that doesnt mean im just not going to get it, I just wanted to know what peoples thoughts on it were or other possible recommendations. Im pretty new to the Z thing. Your last comment is just looking for trouble bro. Let's keep it clean. This has nothing to do with "being cool", that comment was uncalled for. I'm just open to discussion, just to see what's out there, etc. People on this site make recommendations to each other all the time. Let's just leave it at that.
