Hey everyone,

I took the my nismo v1 spoiler off my car and like the look of it. How much do you think it usually costs for a body shop to patch up the holes and repaint? I am also in the process of looking for someone to switch rear hatches with me.

Thanks

 

Depends on the body shop. They will most likely grind over the holes, spot weld them shut, bondo, primer, paint. Maybe around $100-200?

 

makes you kind of wish you never put it on huh lol but then again your prob the second owner

 

$600.

 

wow, there is a big difference between $200 and $600. Im guessing it would be more because they have to paint the whole hatch?

 

Over 9000.

 

youll have to go to different bodyshops and get quotes. it will not be as cheap as you'd like it to be. much better if you can find someone to swap you hatches.

 

To fill the holes and repain the whole hatch was about 350ish for me.

 

^^^^ Fuuuuuuu....

You're probably already doing this, but definitely put some effort in finding someone who wants a free Nismo spoiler...then switch hatches.

 

Not many Z enthusiasts close to me.. some in Denver but I tried for a while and no luck.

Im still deciding what to do with my v2 spoiler haha.

 

i actually found two people off of craigslist, so now i have to figure out how easy it is to remove hatches and install them

 

i paid 600..

 

yeah thats alot...good thing i found some people

 

A few bolts, nothing major, but you have to line the hatch up perfectly on the mounts or else you'll have fitment issues.

 

What are you doing with the V1, i need one!!

 

thanks for the info guys, i cant wait to get rid of this wing!

 

I would just take it to a bodyshop for an actual estimate.

Let me know what it turns out to be (in case I ever change mine).
