My suggestion is get the JDM replica wing which fits better than the recently out real Nismo wing. The new real Nismo wing will leave 2 factory wing holes visible. U can probably take it to the dealer if u cant find any local shop to do it for u.

Check ebay for authentic JDM Nismo wings. There have been a few up for bid recently. They're going for $319, which is a great price for the JDM real deal.

I got mine on ebay for $289. Not a real Nismo but it was JDM.

Fitment was ok, but not great. The car is at the bodyshop now having it trimmed to fit perfectly and painted.

Something to think about when going from stock spoiler to Nismo is the stock spoiler leaves an "outline" where it rubbed the clearcoat.

Depending on how many miles you have driven will determine if the rub marks can be buffed or if you will need paint. Mine rubbed all the way through the clearcoat so I'm having the hatch painted...... shaving the logo while I'm at it too.

also..... for european markets like the British one where the OEM factory spoiler comes as standard, factory fitted not dealer fitted, the US NISMO will NEVER cover the holes, as I experienced recently, isn't it Jason?

Factory OEM spoiler holes will ALWAYS be covered by an original JDM NISMO Spoiler, as I was shown by the Dealer who fit mine.. he had a JDM Nismo spoiler in stock and the base was going perfectly over the factory holes of the OEM spoiler.....


by the way, JASON, did you manage to speak to Jeff about my problem? We need to find a compromise here guys!!!!!!!!!!

i heard the new nismo wings have a sort of "dip" in them. I also don't want the wings on the side to actually touch the body of the car. what should i do? i'm not worried about holes, because i'll probably get the hatch repainted anyways
