1) Did the wing come with installation instructions/hardware?
2) Did the wing come with anything to modify the rear hatch struts or to increase the size of the bump stops? If not, have you noticed a problem with the rear hatch popping open on the first try, like many others have had with the J-spec NISMO wings and replicas?
3) In addition to the tips not touching, it looks like the U.S-spec wing doesn't sit up as high vertically. ie) when looking through the rear glass, it seems like the wing won't sit right in the middle of the view through the rear view mirror, like it does on the J-spec and replicas. Where do you see the wing in the rear glass, when looking through the rear view mirror?

Yes it does. But i wouldnt do it myself. They have to drill 4 holes i believe. I sat and watched some of the install and it looks diffcult. They used a tracer like paper to line it up perfect. Take it and have it done by the dealership. Just in case they mess it up..they pay. Mine did a bad *** job.

Mine opens with first push of the button. I tried it over and over and it worked perfect. But mine has never had that problem. I dont think it came with anything to mod the opening of the hatch. If you have an earlier model of a 350Z then i believe there is a fix for it through the dealership.
