He got a lip, but he is saying it is more like a wing because it has no holes. I would definitely use at least 2 screws on each end of the lip and definitely use 3m doublesided tape everywhere. It didn't come with instructions?

I have the Base Model Z and will get the OEM style rear spoiler from eBay, probably.....I've heard a lot of people say that the 3M tape is sufficient...no drilling required. I'm kinda thinking I might buy it cheap and then pay Nissan $50 to install it though.....That way it's done right..and if it falls off, Nissan has to replace the sucker!

ahh, I'm starting to get confused. From scratch... So this is a Veilside "look-alike" that mounts on the trunk? So its a wing than!

The only replica carbon Veilside wing I know of that is currently available wound be the Veilside Version II ?

I would say, use 3m automotive 1" thick tape since you don't want to drill holes. Since the V2 wing is kinda big, you might have to secure it with screws.

If you need any help, I'm in the Queens, NY area. Shoot me a PM.

Hi, I was thinking about a oem stock spoiler but the dealership want to charge $200 to install it. If it can be taped on that would be great. Has anyone here just used tape for the stock spoiler and it stayed on for long periods?

Yeah I was hella confused too. Depending on the size of the wing/spoiler, I would just use 3m double sided tape. OEM spoilers are definitely small enough to use double sided tape only.

Hey, did you try go to Pace Auto by Home Depot to get you wing installed? I just went there today to get inspection and Jack asked me how I installed my wing. He told me somebody asked to install a carbon wing that looks a little longer than mine. Must be you, huh?

Hows the fitment?
