Default Nismo spoiler

Sup all, i am from northern new jersey and wanted to put on a nismo spoiler on my z. Anyone have any tips on when to buy, paint and install it? I was going to buy the spoiler online but don't have a good place to have it painted and installed around my way. Any pointers? thanks.

hopefully they didnt drill the holes too big when installing your replica... the USDM NISMO one might night cover all the holes...

you will have 3 or 4 holes exposed... you will have to have the rear hatch shaved...

i had my full rear hatch shaved along with the rear wiper...

the spoiler on my z is the techno JDM wing(http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...ducts_id=2580). it looks like the nismo usa one but, mine split in half. you think they can rebind the wing? or should i buy a new one (the real nismo one)?

when i bought my car back in 02 it didnt have the OEM spoiler but i had one dealer installed about a month after i got it. is it possible they installed it a different way than factory and i can use the USDM NISMO? anyway to tell?
not if they installed it properly... if they installed it a little bit too far up the hatch it may cover the holes...

techno is a replica spoiler... fiberglass... from a company called Techno R...

You could just have it re-fiberglassed... or just get a new replica one... either way, you are looking at $ for prep and paint...

who made the replica you had that split?

I don't really know who made the replica spoiler. My brother got a combo package (the front lip + the spoiler for like $300) a little too cheap don't you think? that is why the spoiler split.

so you think it can be repaired?

anything fiberglass can be fixed...

just costs money!

most body shops will re-fiberglass parts... its all part of the prep process...
