im thinking of getting the california style wing, what do you guys recommend? and wheres a good place to find them?

 

One word... SEARCH.

 

i've found some that have it, but they look phony, i dont know if i would trust them

 

Would you mind posting them so we can see?

Just an FYI (I'm saying this because in almost all your posts you ask what's a good place to get Z parts)... we have a huge sticky thread w/ tons of info right in the 280zx section called WHERE TO BUY PARTS FOR YOUR 280ZX: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/240z-280zxt-s30-s130-tech-tips-275/where-buy-parts-your-280zx-18264/

these are the only califonia style ones i could find

 

Jim Cook Racing is not phony. They've been in business since the 70's. I used to buy race parts for my Z from Jim back in the 80's before he died.

 

alright cool, are their prices fair?

 

Avoid showcars like the plague. There are numerous amounts of complaints against that company, especially with the Z community.

 

ever heard of zcarparts.com , they sell the calinfornia wing, it woulda been in the link nismo sent you. real easy to find the wing. wing prices everywhere in my opinion are rip off, usually running double what it costs to make them, but nobody has moulds, so thats the price.

 

all it takes is some fiberglass skill..
practice, cut a mold out and make your own.
thats what im gonna do, im not paying that for a wing.
mabe a carbon fiber one, but not fiberglass.

 

won't that be hard, and when do you get carbon fiber to mold and stuff

 

I think the 2+2 air foil looks good. A bit understated but you get the piont.

 

Define "fair". They have it, you want it, how much are you willing to pay for it? Is that number less than what they want? If so, I'd say, by your definition, no, it's not fair.

Please refer to the sticky where you can shop among MANY providers and decide who has the best price for you!
