In fact, in this very picture you can see how the front is mounted to the very top of the holes available and the back is on the lowest hole.
meaning not level, max angle.

yes the picture is very deceiving. You'll have to see it in person

Looks great, I know the wing is needed for the track, but if you drive it elsewhere, I'd find a daily solution.

This voltex wing is off a 350Z...the mounting brackets are different due to how the trunk on the Z is angled and how the base mounts are made

are you telling me that if you took out the screw visible in the picture above and pushed the wing with your hand from below in an upward direction, and then reinserted the screw that it would not "level" the angle?

Look at picture number 5 on my first post...does it look angled? no..it follows the general line of the car.

if i do that, the wing will start to point up. I'm telling you it's already level. I look at it every day. You have the J's type 1 wing without the garney flap in the back so your side plates are an accurate reflection of how level your wing is. On mine, I have the garney flap, so it looks more extreme fromt eh side than it is. The mounting plates under the wing do not reflect the angle either because they are offset...the front holes are lower than the rear holes...hence why I have mounting the front on the high hole, and the rear on the low hole.

Luckily it is adjustable and it's your ride and you do what you want with it. And I'm the first fan of any S turned into a track car.

I see what you're saying, and the endplates are definetly deceiving, I just think that even on picture 5 it looks angled.

I'll play around with it when I get home
