That's a NISMO V2 Wing Gurney Flap that NISMO has since discontinued. The only one I've ever seen in person was special ordered and sold to a member on here by the name of HBenet.

Gurney flap is the little black trailing edge extension on the rear wing.

by having this little flap. you gain signficant downforce with relatively low drag penalty.

typically 1/2" high, perpendicular to the rear edge. you can make it yourself...

Depending on what your tastes&objectives are...form or function,there
are many of these "strips" available.I'd try to find one that could be adapted
and fit the legth of the wing out of CF.It sure would look better.There are many
on E-bay.The negative is that most are from China.
