Default Which spoilers can cover up the holes left by Nismo spoiler?

The only thing that I don't like about my car's exterior currently is the Nismo spoiler. I'm thinking about removing it but don't want to go through too much trouble of having to fill the holes and repainting the hatch, so I'm wondering if there are any other spoilers that can cover up the holes left by Nismo spoiler. Blitz spoiler is currently my favorite, but I don't think it can cover up the holes. Ings maybe? Or even Nismo V2 would be fine as I like it better than the one I have...

Anyway, if anyone had an experience of removing Nismo spoiler and installing something else, I'd appreciate it if you can tell me about the experience.

Are you talking about the .ismo v3, if so.. when you want to get rid of it, sell it to me.

i suggest going with the spoiler you like whether it covers the holes or not. Do it right the first time, if it doesn't cover it get it covered and painted. you'll regret not going with something you want later on trust me

Confused as to which spoiler/wing you have. I had the regular spoiler (not nismo) and removed/replaced with a V-2 replica, which covered the holes from the stock spoiler.

It's obvious that he has Nismo V1 spoiler. I agree with getting the spoiler you like so no regret later. Blitz spoiler looks awesome.

I agree that I should do it right the first time, but I just want to plan the budget before committing and buying a new spoiler, as to fill the holes and repaint the hatch, it would cost me some money. Now, can somebody tell me which spoilers can cover the holes left by Nismo V1 spoiler? Thanks!

Nothing will cover it that I know of, the holes are too high on the trunk to cover without filling it in with something else.

You may want to try to trade hatches with someone or just take it to a shop to have them filled in.

NISMO V2, INGS LX, Top Secret low rise, Amuse Superleggera, NISMO V3, and I believe the Esprit spoiler (non GT type)

The V2 I saw myself on someone else's Z and it didn't cover it.

The hardest part will be to cover the inside mounting points that are closer to the hatch glass with each of those wings.
