Hey does anyone know if the OEM trunk lip requires any drilling? Or is it put on with double sided tape?

I called some guy at West Covina Nissan and he didn't know anything

It needs both, but you can make do with the double-sided tape by itself.

Hopefully you spoiler will come with a template as well otherwise you will have to eye-ball it...

 

I eyballed mine when i drilled the holes. Just take off the interior panel on the hatch and youll see where the holes should be. All i did was drill in the center of the holes where the wings screws would go and BAM! perfect fitment. I also used double sided tape along with bolting it down though. Also, make sure you use masking tape on the area where the hole would be so the paint doesnt chip off as you drill away.

 

Oh I see, hmm so in order to properly install the trunk lip I probably should drill. Damn, lol I think I'll pass on that. Thanks for the help guys!

 

eh I would just tape it.

 

not necessarily. Some people just use double sided tape because they dont want to put holes on their hatch. I just drilled because i wanted to make sure it was on there.

 

Gotcha, yeah I'll probably use tape. Maximum if it doesn't look good I'll sell it to someone who is willing to drill

 

anyone know where to get the double sided tape? is it a special tape that's more weatherproof? waterproof?

also, anyone tried buying an oem spoiler of a different color and repainted to match their own color?

 

About a month ago I bought a painted one off e-bay for $75. It didnt come with a template or screws but it had the tape already included.

I measured and re-measured the edges to esnure that it was equa-distant from all corners, removed the tape, and presto she was tailed.

The tape is quite strong and its held up prefectly through a few storms and several washes.

Don't worry about not drilling, it will be fine.

Also, I removed the dead-weight from under the hatch cover and it made opening and closing much easier. I would recommend doing the same if you notice any issues.

 

I bought mine off a member on here. I did not drill and it has been on my car for almost 1.5 years. Its on there solid as a rock. As for placement, I went to the dealer before they opened and measure the dimensions and took my time putting it on.
