Nismo V1 Spoiler waterproofing?
When installing the V1 spoiler, is there any waterproofing that needs to be done to prevent water from getting under the base? If so, what do you use?
I think I remember reading someone using windshield sealant, but can't find any threads on it

You could lay a bead of silicone all the way around the base. My wing is a replica and doesn't fit all that flush on my hatch, so I just sealed around the bolts from the underside so no water could enter the hatch itself; it's not a big deal if water just gets under the wing (course my Z never sees rain or even a hose).

yeah just the front, it would stand out too much all the way around. plus if you have ever seen the USDM nismo rear skirts they have a little rubber strip on them so this looks just like that, like its almsot supposed to be there. it fixes any gap problem and when you wash the car no water gets under the spoiler. there is alot of black like that on the car anyway so if you do it right it fits.
