I purchased a nismo replica off of ebay and the fit is ****. The spoiler is bowed up in the middle where it sits on the hatch. The bolt holes are at the four corners so there are no bolts in the middle to hold it down. It's up about 1.5cm from the surface of the hatch in the middle. I'm screwed with this spoiler right? Any chance a body shop can fix this without messing up the paint?

Ok, where should I buy a nismo replica spoiler that will probably fit better? Thanks for the help guys.

 

Just buy the real deal. Replicas tend to have that problem OP. It's a gamble and unfortunately you did not come up on this one.

 

buy one here...

 

Haven't seen one on private for sale for a while and I didn't find any sponsors selling them...

A body shop is going to charge you $$$ trying to install that spoiler.
Most likely they would have to use an epoxy to affix threaded bolts to
the underside of the spoiler, drill corresponding holes and pull it down by
tightening the nuts. If the epoxy doesn't hold or comes off down the road
it will of course bow up again. They could also try using heat to reshape it
but it might become distorted.

Try to return it and the $$$ you save from the body shop will afford you the real deal.

 

Ok, my question is where do I even order the real one?? Just from the dealership? Is there an online place? How much am I looking at for a real one with paint? I'll get a refund on this one (probably less my cost to ship it back) for sure, not worried about that.

 

Buy from one of the vendors on this site.
They are here to help you.
