I currently have the OEM spoiler, and I want a replica nismo spoiler to take its place. I understand I'll need the replica to cover the OEM holes. I've found a good deal online (200 + shipping, or 300 painted + shipping). I think I'd like to buy it for 200, and have it painted and installed locally... I called a couple places and was quoted ~300 to paint/install?? Seems a little high!

What are you guys paying? Is there someone in the bay area I should know about for this?

 

sounds about right, i was quote 750 for a front lip painted and my nismo spoiler painted and installed

 

if you are in SJ, go to Tommy Auto Body. Lots of us (350Z owner) go there for paint job. Tell the owner (Mr. Gia) that Alex with the Blue Z send you down. He will take good care for you.

However, if online sell you $300 spoiler + paint, TAKE THAT DEAL. I don't think any body shop will do it for you for $100.

Here is my recommend:

* Get the spoiler painted by Ebay store. You can install by yourself or come to Tommy Auto Body and they will install for you.

 

Thanks guys, I'll call Mr. Gia later today for some prices.

I think it makes the most sense to buy it painted online, its actually from spoilerdepot.com not ebay. You think having it painted to match factory year/color would work? It's an 04 though, and I don't garage it so it's possible it's faded a little bit... I'd be concerned about having it painted in advance... but then again for $100 it might be worth a shot! Anyone have experience ordering a painted spoiler from spoilerdepot.com ?

 

bro let me know if you do this! i was looking into buying a nismo wing in the next 3 months or so! that is a great deal!

 

I'm doing research on opinions on spoiler depot.com... see what people are saying about their paint jobs. If the general consensus is positive, I'll order and I'll post results.

 

honestly I won't ever buy anything prepainted from an online store. I ordered my nismo replica that way and the coloring isn't that great, but whats worse is it looks like they never even prepped the wing before painting it. its horribly uneven and bumpy across the entire deck. I would also suggest you make sure you can live with the spoiler before you do it because its a permanent thing. meaning if you change you mind later you'll probably have to buy an entire new hatch because it'll cost you more to (properly) fix the holes.

 

i bought my spoiler from spoilderdepot and the color matching was good. 98%.

 

REMEMBER you get what you Pay for......Nothing is FREE in life. I paid the famous Santini in Huntington Beach (RIDES, FOOSE, etc...) Almost $700.00 to paint and install. 100% color match!!!

 

Ordered it pre-painted from spoilderdepot.com I'll post in a couple weeks with pics.

Thanks guys!

 

I have been thinking about getting the celica spoiler painted from there.

 

i ordered my replica nismo from spoilerdepot too. excellent mathcing and mines a 2003. just make sure you tell a bodyshop to put it on the lip of the car...

 

sweet to hear they match good!

 

did you ever get the wing? pics?

 

I got my Blitz wing painted for $80 but that was a special price because my buddy owns the body shop.

 

i paid $150-$200 for paint and install for past spoilers

 

i went to carlab in sj to paint and install. they have a really good price. im going to get it back this week, so i'll tell ya'll how good the job is.

 

whoa...thats freakin alot of money for just a spoiler paint and install? I can prob get a whole nismo kit kit for paint/install with perfect paint match...but then again thats just imo

 

i just got my nismo replica spoiler yesterday...and it looks pretty damn good, i would recommend it $300 for painted spoiler in magnetic black. all i have to do now is install it. how much do u think it should cost to install it locally?

 

do it your self. did it come with the template....if so it is cake...just need a drill and a socket wrench...i think thats it...
