I just want to know how they fit or if they r just too shitty to buy, im planning on getting one from 9K but i wanted to check on this first!

BTW i checked everywhere in the forum, just coulndt find any info on em.

Thanks

I have the glazious one, I wasn't sure I'd like how it looked or how long it would last so I didn't feel like buying an expensive one.

It fits pretty good, not amazing. It does take some sanding around the edges to make smooth. If you're not looking super close, it's fine.

I don't have any super close pictures of the fitment, but this is how it looks.

Does the wing sit against the roof all the way across?

I bought an ebay one and it didn't even come close to fitting.

Bought a knockoff from someone on here (racepar1 I think) and it fit flawlessly.

That one looks pretty good!!Nice car btw jeje

Difference between 9k Dmax and the Glazious is only 10 bucks, from what ive read around the Dmax fits perfectly, the one i need is for an S14, i do like how the Glazious one looks cause the Dmax is a little too aggresive in my opinion.

Did you use doublesided tape to install it? im kinda affraid cause i feel it could fell off

Most fiberglass Roof wings/spoilers are made in the same country such as China, if not in the same factory. The thing with companies like 9K Racing (For example) as opposed to a random Ebay seller is that 9K has the ability to filter out the bad molds when their orders come in, naturally prices will be a bit higher to make up for the small percentage of wings that will come damaged or unusable.

In contrast the Ebay seller doesn't give a damn about company reputation seeing as if you don't like it and return it they still make money off the transaction. Their disclaimer also allows them to knowingly sell bad molds they know will require a ton of sanding and modification to fit. Prices will be cheaper since every wing they receive is accounted for and is an assumed sell. In the end its the same product without quality control, you can order a wing from them today receive a terrible product order one on Friday and receive one that fits flawlessly. It is a hit or miss. Take your pick.

BTW 9K Dmax style and the real Dmax roof wings are two totally different things the 9k wing is still a knockoff.
