Erebuni also has a wing like that...I found the link to it for my car. Once you get there, you can easily go to the other generations. http://www.erebunicorp.com/wings/nissmax89.htm . It's wing #215 for $321. Not bad looking at all. As soon as I'm done modding the inside of the car, I'm going to get one.

Thats the Stillen gt wing. Crusher, I wouldn't get that Erebuni wing if I were you. If you look at the pic on their site, you can see that the wing is higher than the stillen wing. I have the Stillen gt wing and I'll tell you this, I wouldn't want anything bigger at the risk of looking too ricey! With the Stillen body kit that wing looks great as well.

LOL yeah that one is pretty large. Looks like one of those 60's Super Bee Nascar edition wings. Except those wings are probably worth a few thousand now. hehe

probably true...

Yeah...they look like Daytona wings...which I think look pretty cool, but at the risk of looking like a ricer, you may be right...How much is that Stillen wing? The website keeps saying $0.00. Yeah, right...that'd be nice! I'm still finding the "groove" for my car, so I'm not sure what I'll end up doing. Thanks for the input, guys.

I got it straight from them. Cost was over $300! Should've sent it back for another 'cuz it didn't sit perfectly flat. Warped. Got a spider-web stress crack in it after about 8 months. For what it cost it should've had an led brake light. They don't make one with it, as far as I've ever seen.

thanks. you must be the one i read something about glueing it on. is it supposed to be bolted on if it isn't warped? cause that doesn't make much sense to me to glue it.

Mine has three screws on each side and two-sided tape. I couldn't image only taping or gluing it. It would've flew off when we hit 110mph on the way to Nopi!

oh, then it was someone else. i read in a post recently that someone had to glue cause it was warped (i hope they aren't all warped!) and they said that if they wanted to take it off they would need a new trunk cause there's no way it's coming off with the glue they used. but i agree on the 110 thing.

Guys, that was me that said my Stillen gt wing was warped and it got glued on. I really need to get pics so I can show you guys. Believe it or not (I sure didn't believe it at first), that glue is DAMN strong! I laughed when the guy said he was going to use glue (since I have a '91 GXE and he didn't want to drill and use screws). It is some type of industrial strength aircraft glue or something. I am not too sure what it is but, all I know is it works perfect! Hey Maxmizd27, I thought I already told you but, I had the same problem with my wing. It wouldn't sit flat either and the body shop had to mold it and get it to fit flat. Also, I got one small spider-web crack in the paint after it got painted but its not too noticeable. One word of advice to you guys is to get everything else done before adding this spoiler! I mean, you should get the wheels/tires, suspension and body kit first because then everything fits together perfectly with the spoiler. My '91 GXE is stock as far as looks go (except the gt wing) and, from a distance, the spoiler makes my car look a little ricey. Though, at certain angles it looks so good that it makes me want to cry! Maxmizd27, you should post the link to your pics so everyone can see how beautiful your car is with the gt wing! Those pics pretty much made my mind up on the Stillen body kit. I'm gonna have to get that Wings West rear bumper though, so I can put some dual Borla's on! So, anyways, the point of all this is, glue really is a lot more durable then you might think. I, myself, have been over, 115mph since the spoiler was put on and it is solid! I even pulled the spoiler a little (not too hard but just a little nudge) and it won't even move.

i don't think i would want to be on a plane that was glued together! especially now. ::thinks::hmm...maybe that's what happened the other day to that wing on the plane.
