    Default Front Spoiler - opinions needed

    Hello all fellow NSXers

    I have taken my old spoiler off my NSX, as it was a little tired looking (yes I'm being a fusspot :lol: ).

    I am thinking of buying one of these 3 as a replacement.

    Has anyone got opinions, based either on experience, or from what you've heard from others etc..

    These are the 3 I am thinking about.

    WINGS WEST for $299

    FLEXI-FLYER for $299
    http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/cat...cfm?focus=1988

    OEM for $102
    http://www.daliracing.com/v666-5/cat....cfm?focus=589

    The main factors I am looking for opinions on are:
    1 - weight
    2 - forgiveness/flexibility, in case I "rub" it against the ground
    3 - road stability/handling of car
    4 - anything else you think is important

    I am not interested in the fact it wont be stock.

    Cheers,

    I can't see much difference myself between all three. Has anybody out there changed theirs?

    I've tried several and my preference is for the one I currently have installed - the WW, as seen here

    Yes, that looks very good! Beats the crappy black flap.

    That would really suit your car! Perfect colour to add a bit of CF too.

    Darren, if I was to accidentally graze the bumper against the ground (speed bump, steep drive etc), will it be durable? I have to say, seeing it on your car makes me even keener on it. :wink:

    Senninha, yeah it looks nice, but I dont want to wait around for the group buy any more, as that thread has been running for some time now without anything coming of it, but thanks anyway.

    Cheers

    the WW lip is made of flexible urethane and is very forgiving

    there is paint missing from 2 spots on mine where it has been grazed :oops:

    thanks again Darren,

    Yet another question for you.... do you know how the weight of the WW compares to the combined weight of the OEM body panel + front spoiler it replaces?

    it is quite heavy, probably 3x the weight or more

    it only replaces the little black strip - the rest of the factory frontage that is no longer visible is because the WW mounts over the top of it

    a bit on the weight side but looks very 8)
