Well, its alright given the fact that you are going for show. It kinda matches your wild bodykit and paint job. Since you are going wild, why not a GT wing.

But I wont put one on my car tho...thats just me.

umm... That does NOT look like a racecar. It looks like a car from Fast and Furious. Show cars are not racecars but some racecars make good show cars. I think that makes sense.

That being said, I like GT wings and I think they look right on some cars... ehhh. Maybe it will look better once its painted a better color.

I think it looks right on your car, and i usually dont like the huge wings, especially on stock cars, but yours fits well with your car. It will look even better when its painted to match. Nice work.

I usually don't like the GT wings either but it doesn't look half bad on your ride. go with it. you seem to know what you want to do.

It's the APR GTC-300 spoiler 350Z Spec. It's very high quality carbon fiber, custom made to fit the 350Z perfectly, and looks much better in person.

Here's some pics
Are you kidding me, that thing is off da hook. I love it...keep it coming....Tell me what you think of this kit I have on order

Default Similar wing

I like the wing, but I want one mounted lower on the deck and offset. I posted this thread about a week ago looking for a replica Ings+1, which is similar to the APR wing.

https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=57632

In my opinion, the lines of the Z work really well without a wing or with a simple lip, and most aftermarket color-matched wings don't look right (to me).

That said, I like the idea of a GT wing because it doesn't try and match the car. The lines and color are totally different. I wouldn't say this about another car (except maybe a Supra or RX7) and I don't like 99% of the GT wings I've seen. Unfortunately, the one I like is $1800, not the usual $99-and-up in the magazines

I think your car looks awesome!! The wing goes great with the Veilside V3 body kit. On anything else it might be too much. Is it the same on that was at the SEMA Show?? Tad

Default umm

looks ummm ........... nice.........now that you have your car looking the way it does, It needs like 500 hp, what happens when you pull up to a stock Z with a 50 shot of NOS and he blows you away.........Better tint your side windows 5% so they wont see you cry as they blow by..............I know its for show, but a car for show that has no go is ummm..........in my opinion useless.

That wing looks great when matched with the wide body... I think it would look goofy without all the other work performed... Good luck, enjoy!

Thumbs up

That wing really completed the look of your car, I always love GT wings, and I know some people hated it, maybe because the way they set up their cars just not gonna go with these type of wing, but in Japan, all the GT cars have these wing on it, and 80% of the hardcore guys have it on their cars on the street. :
