Talking SpoilerDepot.com OEM Spoiler

I got my OEM spoiler today from spoilerdepot.com and all I can say is WOW! Perfect paint match, perfect fit, got it in 10 days, and it went on in about 10 mins. If you have been on the fence about buying from them, I highly recommend them!

Did you have to drill the two holes in your trunk? I'm considering getting the OEM spoiler also but hesitant on drilling the holes on my brand new Z. Does anyone know of any other 350Z spoilers that just uses adhesive?

I used SpoilerDepot.com because they ONLY use the adhesive. No drilling into your Z to install it. I'd say it took me a few minutes to get it centered, I used a dry erase marker to place line up points on the car and spoiler and everything went off like clockwork.

They do have the screw holes in the spoiler and the template online to drill the holes if you choose to do that.

Oh yeah... Make sure you have it where you want it because once it's on... it's on there for good.

bought mine from there(PPW). Match was dead on and took about three weeks to get. I used the screws and drilled my own holes. I just drilled the center of the access hole and measured over to the other one. You can elongate the holes if your a little off center(I used a dremel) and don't take the backing off the adhesive tape until it fits to your liking.

Drilling a hole is no big deal. If your not handy since its already painted good body shop would charge maybe an $100 or less. Its no biggie.

Did you have to specify on the order if you want adhesive or bolt on? Or did the order automatically come with both options? I looked on the website and the instructions only have the bolt on but the spec sheet mentioned the adhesive tape.

Yes, they give you adhesive tape and screws. Actually, they put the tape on the spoiler for you, you just have to pull the backing off. What color car do you have, I'm selling my PPW.

It comes with the adhesive already on the back of the spoiler and the holes are already set in the spoiler as well. And I just found the screws in the bottom of the box, so you get those too.

I was nervous about drilling holes for the OEM spoiler as well. Then I went to my local Nissan Dealer and they installed it for me for $85. well worth the cost. They drilled holes and it lines up almost perfectly.

I recommend drilling holes in it if you plan on keeping the OEM spoiler. To me it made my car feel less "taped together".

I did quite a bit of research here on this forum and a few others. I couldn't find anybody who had a complaint about the spoiler only being taped on. The downflow of air passing over it will help keep it in place at high speeds and at low speeds the tape is PLENTY strong to hold onto it. Right now I am leasing my Z. So, in the off chance that I decide to return it to the dealer, I want to be able to give it back in the way that I recieved it. 34 more months, and then I can bolt it on.

You have a good point for tape there. Good decision I would have used tape on a lease too.

from what ive read of people removing their stock spoilers. the tape alone was enough to keep that small spoiler in place. infact its a !@#!@##$%$@#% to remove.

I read the same thing, tape alone works fine. This was discussed in detail in the ZR threads.
