When I cut the holes, I also had bought 2" ducting but with that small space I didn't have much room to work with so currently no, but I do need to get something.

I personally think it looks better (although not as functional, I'll bet) than the Mine's. Much more Domokun-esque.
Thanks man

i am so with you man, don't listen to the other folks. not only does it look like shizzle, but any gains (if any) are so small that he should take that pencil and jab himself in the nads.

Thats cool and its your personal opinion. If I am paying for a brand new 07 350z, Im going to do whatever the hell I want to do if I think it looks good. Your car is a reflection of your self and I like the look of being different.

Now now...is that REALLY necessary?? Guess it's a personal tatse thing. IMO it doesn't look bad. Besides you've got to give credit for trying a DIY.

Ooooo. Thats honestly one of the first wings I have liked
on the Z.. The fact that it doesn't stand all tall and ricey.
The streached out look fits the Z well. Whats that one called? I also wonder what it might look like with out the
side body-kit parts?

Its the JDM Nismo S-Tune wing. Evo-R makes a replica for around 600ish. The center part is Carbon fiber and adjustable.

I agree- shave the emblem and lose the front plate.

I've looked at those on Ebay. The only thing that really got me, is how small the opening is on the inside. It looks great on the outside, but in the pictures that show all the way through, it looks as if the openings on the inside are only about 1 inch X 1 inch. Either way, it would be great if there was a duct to connect it to the opening for the airboxes. I think it would be really effective for a little extra power that way.

As far as 2 driver side air ducts, I know Ebay sells some shady stuff sometimes, but I doubt they would sell 2 driver side air ducts and say they are dual. A lot of those carbon fiber products they sell are copies of another brand. If it is easy enough to computer design a copy of another brand, I don't think it would be difficult to mirror image the design and then produce it from there. Doing that would be just as easy as making a fake picture with mirrored air ducts. Also, check the feedback. There were several people who bought the carbon fiber dual air ducts and seemed to be satisfied with them.

But who knows? If the inside opening was bigger, or if it went flush to the air box opening, I just might get it. I'll let you guys know if I do.
