Default Spoiler installation

I recall some previous discussion about the rear spoiler being attached with just double-sided tape. Some thought this was good because if they wanted to replace it with something more agressive it would be easy to take off.

I was thinking of buying the spoiler and doing the job myself. I just finished reading the installation instructions on Courtesy's site and it is actually secured with 4 bolts and double-sided tape.

There are some jobs I don't mind doing BUT drilling holes in my new baby, especially on a body panel like that, scares the h*ll out of me. I know I've got the ability to do it but..........

Im 90% sure that Nissan's procedure s going to use some form of double side tape, usually a spoecial one made by 3M. This is exactly how its dome on all Audi and BMWs

Default Spoiler install

I had my spoiler installed on my Touring 6spd Daytona Blue last night. You have to drill holes to do the job by factory instructions.
It looks really great and sets off the car. It looks really good above my Hawaii "350Z" vanity plate. It takes about two hours of labor so installed its about $560.00.

I got mine as part of the aero package and it only cost 499 installed and includes the front "spoiler". So for any future orderers it would be better to get it as an option. I was doubtful at the beginning because of the lack of pictures but after seeing good pictures of it I am glad I got it.

The instructions looks pretty complicated. You need drill bits and hole saw. It's not as easy to attach with double side tape... Better let my dealer do the job...
