    I'm becoming a monster... (Micra modifications)

    Getting my tint done tomorrow afternoon and I've already planned out all that money I'm saving on this wicked little ride to double it up in custom expenses hah.

    New wheels/tires coming in/installation next week and I'm already pre-planning the spoiler and wrap. Am I right in assuming my best (perhaps only) bet is on the SR spoiler? (the extended black one?)

    I don't really like the accessory one (if I have them right in my head). Are there any other nice aftermarket options out there or should I just stick with the SR one?

    I have the metallic blue Micra (SR), convenience package and I'd like to get a carbon-wrap on the extended spoiler to tie in the wheels, which are black satin (matte) finish 17" alloy rims.

    I saw the thread with the part number for the SR spoiler, so I'm guessing I can run that by the parts guy at my dealership (they're pretty good with that stuff). Just want to make sure I'm not missing any options here.

    Not sure if this is any different then the spoiler mentioned elsewhere on the forum, but unqshop.com out of the UK has one for about $225 Canadian (cost and shipping) ; it looks like it can be painted how you want it.

    I like the SR spoiler better, myself, for style & efficiency.

    That UK spoiler would increase drag slightly (upward angle). I'd bet the SR spoiler actually decreases drag slightly (vs. none at all).

    As for aftermarket, there are almost certainly other options already available in various countries, but you'd get killed by shipping.

    Got your wheels yet?

    That looks like the accessory spoiler. They are getting me a quote on that one with a carbon fibre wrap on Thurs. I'll post when I get the numbers (I have a feeling it will be overpriced to start but they might work with me on it.

    They're in! Hoping to get them put on this evening. I also like the SR one better but I want it mainly for esthetics and the SR one will probably cost a small fortune in comparison. We'll see what they come back with.

    The C-West would cost you about 400$ with shipp unpainted


    The IMPUL wings (2 model avail.) about 675$ with shipp, unpainted



    If you plan to have it wrapped, there is no need to have it painted tho, you would save at leat 100$ skipping this step

    I know its just for show, and probably increases drag, but I love the IMPUL wing. Reminds me of the one from an old Lamborghini

    You can also have a genuine NISMO for about 650$ shipped and unpainted!

    Someone has been doing lots of research.
