So now all we got to do is see if they ship, and what discount we can get ;)

You could try this also, Amber performance UK based seller

They are £1047!

The Megan one looks identical with out the Stickers, the brackets look a little cooler too. £300, just got to see what Mail and Import will be like.

I know they are expensive, but could still work out better than an import from the US, after you factor in shipping and import duty/tax. They also list different lower cost options, just trying to help :blush:

Not in defence of the price but APR wings are wind tunnel designed :)

Love this. Don't know if it will look too high on a 350z. How much is the ep racing one?

 

 

 

If your looking for downforce it will probably have to be as high as the roof line to have any real noticeable effects :)

Problem with this one, for me anyway, are the arms are too narrow. Gotta have the right car to pull that look off, and I don't think the Z is one of them.

Have you guys considered this wing from RTP. It's wind tunnel tested for the GTR by Espirit and redeveloped on CFD for the zed so it does produce downforce. It has two downforce angle settings.

Made purely out of CF so very light and has an OEM look to it so suits the zed very well in my opinion.

Cost wise its a no brainier as its cheaper than importing the Megan wing. If you do do not like the CF legs you can get them made cheaply and fit the the fittings to the wing.

Looks like an upturned snowboard. It's nice, but personally I prefer the look of the "traditional" bgw.

 

I thought you guys were after something that works on the car as opposed to looks only. A generic traditional wing or any other type will only work if developed on the car. ie. correct wing width, profile, additional elements, upright height and sweep angle, etc which puts the wing in the best area to perform and not cause other unwanted characteristics.

The APR is going to be your option 1 if you want traditional style but you also need to get their front splitter to optimize the aero on both ends as per their design and recommendation. Then the little matter of price of this wing. I faced this dilemma.

The RTP(GTRZ) spoiler is designed to work on a standard car with OEM bumper or the nismo variants.

Sure I don't expect it to be everyone's taste in the same way the nismo spoiler polarizes opinion but wait till you see it in flesh.
