Just trying to decide which one to buy.

Thanks.

Not much difference between the two...
Go with B if you currently have the OEM spoiler & like the lower price.
Go with A if you want it faster, and don't mind spending a little more.

Either way, Performance Nissan is the best place to get parts. They usually have the best prices, and the guys there are great!

One is a copy of the other. A is the real deal, B is the replica.

If you have the OEM spoiler, then get #2 to cover the holes

Yes if you have the factory lip spoiler you definitly don't want the 1st one, either way the second one is quicker to get and cheaper to buy.

The TPO material is less prone to cracking than the fiberglas.

They seem to be the same but #2 to me just looks better, and like everyone says if you have oem spoiler #2 is an easy choice.

#2

I have that one on my car. Fitment was good and needed little extra prepwork required for some replicas. The big difference between the two is the length of the tips on te side. #1 is about 2 inches off the trunk lid, whereas #2 is about 1/8" off the lid. #2 is a replica of the JDM version, so there are some visual differences, not just the material.

Here's a couple of the spoiler. Sorry for the huge pics, but I'm tooo lazyy to resize. If you go with this spoiler, I highly recommend putting clear rubber bump stops on the tips to keep it from hitting the deck lid and chipping the paint. I have 'em on mine, and you can't see them.

I like the JDM version a little better than the USDM. (It looks a little more agressive.) I painted it the two-toned scheme, with the black strip in the middle...
