Default Celica style spoiler on 350z coupe

I am picking up a Celica style wing soon and wanted to post up all the pictures I was able to scrounge up of the Celica spoiler on the 350z coupe. I think it looks great and matches the body perfectly. Some people dismiss the Celica wing simply because it is from a Celica. If you didn't mention it's from a Celica, I think it would be a much more popular spoiler. Enjoy.

*EDIT* The wing has been installed. The last 5 pictures are of my car. *EDIT*
























And now...my car:

I think it looks right in place. celica spoiler or not, not a big deal, it flows with the z too.

It actually looks pretty good.

The 00-05 Celica are the years, samr350z.










Reminds me of my old car.

Yeah, I used to own a 2000 Celica GT-S with this spoiler. I also own a Scion tC with a similar spoiler. I wonder how it would look on a 350z.

imo at certain views it doesnt flow well with the lines of the z and throws off the look of the rear end

I think it needs to sit a little lower, at the current height it looks weird from the direct rear. Especially on the ss.

I agree, it would look better about 1/2" lower or so.

I ordered the spoiler and will see if I can find a way to lower the height a bit. I will definitely take pictures and post them up as soon as I install it. I haven't seen what this wing looks like on a lemans sunset, so we'll see.

I think it looks pretty good. I like it more than the nismo V1. But stacking it over an OEM deck spoiler is a no-no.

I too have been a fan of this spoiler on the Z........im sure you have seen my post on all the threads regarding this topic....

I laughed checking out this thread, as i have all those pictures already saved in a "Celica Z spoiler" folder on my jump drive....lol

I am sure I am in the minority here, but I prefer the looks of the Z with no wing or spoiler. It just looks much cleaner and sleeker to my eye.
