Thanks all for the compliments

I'm very happy with the turnout!

As far as the body shop, I dont have the exact address, but I'd say it's probably 45 min - 1hour from Bmore, depending on traffic and speed of course

Yup, looks great, seals the deal for me, time to quit dickin' around and finally send my check to Andy...

(Andy if you're reading this, I will send my check, I'm serious man...)

I too am gonna fit it on to my Silverstone w/o paint for starters and see how I feel about it for a few weeks (as well as others' opinions)...

Nice ride!

Drew.. Love the wing! Looks sooo much better painted!

Out of curiosity, you have 10.5" rears.. dont you need wider tires than 275s?

The 275's fit nice and snug on there

I checked around before I ordered that tire size, a lot of other people with 10.5" rear wheels run 275's, and even Volk apparently recommends that size as well. But who knows, maybe next time I get tires I'll go with 285's, a little extra meat would probly be nice...

That's the original thread on the Evo-R spoiler, they talk about the issue with the holes there.

Price was $389, but i think it's going up in a few weeks. Check with Andy to find out exactly when.

I'm hoping the rumor is true that there will only be 10-12 of these made/sold. I was hoping my Z would be special. LOL It should be here in 4 days. Can't wait. Thanks to Andy for making such a nice spoiler.

Thanks

And as far as the wing tips, yes one side does actually touch, er at least is extremely close to the trunk. The left clears it by a little bit, then the right side is basically touching. I dont know if this is the case for all of the wings, or just mine. It really isnt a problem at all, you cant really tell unless you get up close. I still love the wing

(if anyone needs I could take some pics of the clearance to give you a better idea, just post up)

Thumbs up EXCELLENT DREW!!!

Wow Drew...that looks GREAT, excellent job!!!

To answer some of your questions, yes, the promo price ($389) on these Type-S spoiler will end on 2-29-04, after which the retail price will be $449. Order yours now...we only have less than 4 left in our inventory.

FREE 1:18 scale die-cast 350Z for any order of $550 (before S/H) or more, while supply last.

Andy I got my Spoiler this morning and can't wait to get it on my Z. The Carbon Fiber looks sweet. I'll be sure to post a pic when I get it on. This is actually my first accessory I'm putting on. Started with a bang huh?

Jesse, glad you like it, and please do post some pictures after you've install it.

Please also write Evo-R some feedback in the Vendor Feedback/Review Forum, thank you!

Wow, amazing looking Z. Really stunning.

Sorry off the topic of the wing...I'm looking to go with the same wheel/tire setup.. but it looks like it's begging for a slight drop. Maybe less than an inch would suffice I think. I wonder if this would still hold true if you ran 40 instead of 35 on the tires. How's the ride with the new tires and 19's?

so you got the carbon fiber wing and you painted it? i'm guessing they have to primer the carbon fiber in order for the paint to stick?
