MSA Victory™ Rear Spoiler, Fiberglass, 79-83 280ZX Coupe

Made In And Shipped From The USA

You asked and we listened!

The Story:
The fiberglass company who makes many of our pieces originally made the 70-78 Victory™ Spoiler as a limited factory option spoiler back in the 70's directly for Nissan. The SCCA's rules for many racing classes are similar to this: "Aftermarket aerodynamic devices are prohibited with the exception of front air dams/spoilers and rear spoiler, unless a factory option". So to help out the racers of the day to get more downforce, Nissan had a small amount of 240Z spoilers made to give racers even more of an edge. The S30 version was listed as Nissan a factory option, so it fit into the rules of the day. Our manufacturer worked hard over several months re-molding the spoiler to properly fit on 79-83 280ZX Coupes, and we are proud to announce that development has been completed (as of late 2019).

Includes:

• (1) MSA Victory™ Fiberglass Rear Deck Spoiler
• (2) Mounting Bolt

Description:
The 280ZX Victory™ Spoiler follows in the footsteps of its S30 predecessor, which traces its origin along Nissan's history of automotive racing. By popular request, we worked hand in hand with our manufacturer, and this properly adapted spoiler was born. It has been redesigned from the ground (or base) up in order to accurately fit the rear deck of 280ZX Coupes. During the process, we found that there was room to increase the height specifically for the 280ZX due to the difference in body design, leading to a spoiler that towers in at 5 5/8" when measured from the back (the S30 version measures in at 5 3/8"). This version of the 280ZX Victory™ Spoiler is made of high quality fiberglass (see Related Items for Carbon Fiber), and comes ready for prep and painting. Unlike our S30 and other 280ZX options, this Victory™ Spoiler installs using 2 bolts on each side (4 in total); a side effect of the taller spoiler height.

Safety Note:
ALL rear spoilers will increase downforce on the rear of the car, regardless of design. How noticeable that increased downforce is depends on both spoiler design and how the car is being driven. For standard city street driving, the increased downforce from most spoilers typically doesn't have a significant impact on handling. At highway speeds or on canyon runs, it will be more apparent, and a front spoiler is recommended, but spoiler design ultimately determines whether it is required. On the track (or otherwise at racing speeds), a properly matched front spoiler or air dam is always strongly recommended, and should be considered as mandatory (note this is especially true for taller spoilers, such as the MSA Victory™ Spoiler). Please call if you have any questions.

Fitment Note:
This spoiler is specifically designed to fit on coupe model deck lids. While it can physically be installed on 2+2 models, it does not align correctly with 2+2 deck lids and body line, and will leave gaps at the ends. 2+2 deck lids are also angled differently, so the spoiler will not have the exact same appearance as when it is installed on a coupe model.

Protective Coating:
This fiberglass item has a gel coating to protect the fiberglass itself from scratches. It is not a finish coat. Your paint professional will sand down the coating prior to final priming and painting. You will notice scratching in this surface, which is exactly what it was designed to do, to take any scratching that can occur in production, transport, storage, handling, and shipping, keeping the fiberglass from being damaged. Please let us know if you have any questions.
