Default Anybody confirm the quality and fit of this spoiler? - CarId - JKS

http://www.carid.com/2003-nissan-350...Shopzilla_feed

Wanting an Evo-R Blitz spoiler, but happened to run across this one shown above.

Shows 24 "reviews" with a very strange trend of 2003 model Z's over and over, then a few other years thrown in, so I'm dubious.

Anybody have this spoiler with pics they can share? I really want to see it from other angles than just the one that carid.com shows.

Thanks for the help, can't wait to put a new spoiler on my ride.

As a side note..if anyone has an inside scoop on where to nab a good deal on a Blitz either unpainted or painted PPW, please let me know...would truly appreciate it. (used or new)

One thing I can offer,ordered several items from CARid(not this spoiler)all have been
excellent quality and fit.Do you have the OEM spoiler on your car?Or,is this a new install?
Reason being,this type spoiler can be mounted WITH the OEM unit.However,some spoiler of this type are designed to go along with "aftermarket" OEM design spoilers.The area of concern is the mounting space along side the OEM unit(which is not very wide).
In addition,a paint match done by any vendor can be a crap shoot.Depending on how old your car is,it may not be perfect.EVO-R does a excellent paint match from mty experience.But hey,the SAME shop may be doing the paint for both companies!

I gotta agree on the looks.
This type of "handle" spoiler on a Z looks good if it is not too high.
This one is too high.
The perfect spoiler of this design IMO is the Gia Cuzzo.
Very expensive/hard to find.Not sure if its even made
anymore or at least available in the U.S.

The problem is it isn't wide enough to stick that far out if that makes any sense.

lol....gee guys...it's hard to tell if you like it or not...

I'll take a look at that Gia Cuzzo suggestion...thanks for the heads up even if it's hard to find, still appreciate knowing about it.

Ok...still leaning toward a Blitz, but I don't think this one is that bad unless you guys have seen something like this in person and it looks far worse in real life than in pictures? I would like it to sit a little lower though.

I don't think it looks bad. I wouldn't put it on with the OEM spoiler like they did. I bet if it had a fancy Japanese name people would love it...

I've decided to not do this spoiler. Will be looking around for an Evo-R at a good price.

Thanks guys,
