Default Hatch lip spoiler pics

After having the Nismo V1 spoiler for a long time, and then having a no spoiler hatch I decided there was something needed on the hatch to match my rear bumper. The hatch was too round.

I was going to put back my OEM spoiler but decided to make something from those universal lip spoilers on ebay. I curved the ends a bit and just painted. Turned out ok to me for no more than $25.

Its cool. Limited range of options within reason.
I've left my stock on since purchase. Inexpensive
item and nice results.

question, when you took off the nismo v1 how did you repair the holes left behind? i am sure there is a simple way besides going to a body repair shop but just curious.

Unfortunately, I think there is no simple way. I bought another hatch and had it painted. I still have my hatch with the wing on it.

I tried with plugging the holes with caps that were painted but there is no way around it. You have to get it welded again and repainted. For me it was cheaper to buy another hatch and get it painted than rather than spending all the time welding and sanding it to make it perfect and smooth.

I was thinking about the Blitz spoiler but I figured to experiment with something subtle and cheap for now. Its easy to take off and disregard later on since it didn't cost much.

Looks good and subtle but I want to peel it off for some weird reason.
