R33 Gtr Wing Carbon Lip. What Is It?

[RANDY]

Hey all!

I have an R33 GTR wing, which appears to be genuine, and has Nismo carbon side inserts, and a carbon fibre lip on the end of the wing.

Is this a Nismo item? Or some Nismo bits stuck onto a Nissan wing, or possibly an aftermarket lip and Nismo covers?j

If it's not clear, i'll try to get a picture of it.

Thanks in advance!

Take a photo of it. If you're talking about the carbon cover on the sides, thats a factory item. Dont know if its N1 specific or all V-spec comes with them. I've got them on my N1.

Oh right!? The Nismo is on the sides where the GTR logo usually is, and the carbon "lip" for the lack of a better word is on the edge of the blade.

Pics soon!

mmm i want your wing. thats sexy. FYI, nismo dont make those endcaps anymore.

Do you want to sell me the end caps?

arn't they just stuck onto the side of the original wing? mine is the same and im pretty sure they just stick those carbon fibre looking bits onto the side. You could simply peal it back and it would look like a normal one.

Thanks guys, I bought it because it was relatively cheap, and had the carbon bits and end-caps.

I'm having it repainted black to suit my car and i'll keep those offers in mind. The Nismo bits are indeed some kind of plastic that is stuck to standard-looking end-caps, and my painter will stick them back on after it's all painted.

If i'm strapped for cash, I might pull them off to sell (since there's so much interest in them) What are they worth though?

Nismo used to sell those carbon sticker ends, don't any more.

Dammit. I hate when Google takes me back to a thread which is actually the question I was already asking!

The end-caps WERE genuine and the nismo bits were stuck onto them. I'm swapping them over now and have spare carbon-print GTR ones.

Old thread, but FYI for anyone interested.
