I had to do a bit of work to get the spoiler to bolt on correctly but other then that it fits the car quite well. It looks a bit weird to me though..

Heres the pics, it looks real nice from behind IMO but from the side it's a little strange looking.






Theres a few more pics here: http://members6.clubphoto.com/ethan5...ner-f8f1.phtml

Let me know what you think.

Not bad...thanks for being one of the first to take the risk. It'll probably grow on you if nothing else. I'm still waiting for the perfect wing to toss on my max...but I have so many other mods to do first.

Personally, I think your car looked better before...but again, it will probably grow on everyone.

Kudos for taking the risk!

I agree that it looks really good from the back. Does it seema tiny bit crooked though? Maybe it's just the combination of the pic and my eyes? Looks good though. Does look a little long from the side, but reminds me of a "drag" style wing. Overall, pretty cool...and best of all, almost nobody else has it!

maybe it will grow on me, but it just extends too far off the back of the car.

well ethan what do you think of it?? I am kinda having second thought of installing mine now I will wait a few weeks now to see if you pics grow on me. The only thing I don't like is how it extends way beyond the trunk

not bad it looks good....i think it sits kinda high, if it were not on the pedestal, it would look awesome.

IMHO find the old one, you have installed rice.

I'm not feeling it either. Kudos for trying it, being different and all. But although the car looks a bit more aggressive now, it also reminds me of F&F. The "classy" look on your ride just got blown out of the water.

I think it looks ok. I still like the old one better, but I think its because the lines of your maxima and the Stillen kit is not as aggresive as the APC wing is. I feel the APC wing would be better on a Maxima with the Ninja Kit. But anyways, it doesnt look that bad.

I like the old one too. I really like you wheels though. I would like to look into installing an I35 spoiler, although there might be a hole where the center support of the stock spoiler was.

Sorry but that looks terrible. Your car has a clean, uniform look until you get to that big, dorky, discombobulated looking wing on back. The stock wing looks better, I would put that back on.

Sorry but I'm really not feeling it either. I do give you props for trying something different though.

As Aznwontonboy said, it might look better with the Ninja kit. Your car looked classier yet sporty with the OEM spoiler.

At least your taking it in stride..

I love how the wing looks from the rear but the sides are just killing it. I think APC is onto something here they just screwed it up a bit I will get a few pics tomarrow that will make a lot of you guys like the wing. Theres a real good chance I will take the wing off in a few days but I don't now, I kinda like it a little

BTW everyone I know who has seen the wing is person really likes it a lot(except me).

Get the Stillen front touring lip and maybe the combination will make the wing work. As it is, the wing is already starting to look ok to me. I might even like it if I keep looking at it for a week.

just my opinion, it looks like the stock wing blown completly out of proportion. and it does exend too far back for my liking. but not bad from the back.

can you mount it forward a couple inches? then it'll look a lot better, it sticking out too much

I was thinking about trying that tomarrow. I can move it forward about a inch, maybe two. We will see what happens tomarrow.

i agree with some of the things said...

1. the apc wing would look awesome with a ninja kit, b/c the stock wing is too conservative for it

2. it would probably help a lot by mounting it forward a few inches like i said several weeks ago

its agressive and i like it, as long as the rest of the car is agressive it wont look bad

Move it up a little and I think it would look real good. I actually kinda like it as is, but move it up and itll help a LOT! Nice work though!

i dont know....i'm not feeling the side view...but the back is alright....i guess we are all used to the 5th gen stock wing...I say keep it on for a month or so & see if you like it then(basically see if grows on you by then)....thats what i would do (just my opinon)

Poor ethan...
Everybody is like talkin' smack about your new wing.
I for one, even though I believe someone else does too, like it.
"It builds character".... uh.. "It'll make a man out of ya"... wait that's not it...oh ..ok I got it. "it will put hair on your chest!"
Like a burly lumberjack!
well bull**** aside it looks ok.

thanx ewok for posting that... lets see what it'll looklike pushed forward, before you go on moving it, see if someone is willing to photoshop it to save you some effort.. the wing does look real nice from the rear, but i had no idea it would stick out that much, from the back it looked like it stuck UP more...

upon closer inspection in photoshop, it really doesnt look that bad. i think it's the lighting and angle that makes it look like it extending out farther than it actually is. either that or ive been staring at it for too long! take some more pics!

I think what it is, is the part of it that dips down onto the side. Maybe just drops too much or somin, but i cant really decide. I actually do like it though

MUCH better moved forward like that! I still like the stock one a bit better, but that looks REALLY, REALLY good moved forward.

Yeah thats what I was about to say. Just move it forward a couple of inches.

Lets compare his wing to the green goblin wing.





hmm... yeah move it forward an inch and it will look much better.
