Since I bought my Z, I knew I'd put a factory spoiler on it. I bought one from a guy here on the board, but it was aftermarket crap. He didn't know the difference, but I wasted $80. So I started looking around a bit, and found that a painted Nissan spoiler with all the hardware to install, in factory packaging can be had for as little as $68... For whatever reason, they vary in price by color, and only 2006+ colors. I have a 2005, so I have to paint it, but lucky me, that's what I do for a living. I bought the cheapest color for that reason. I believe painted eBay junk spoilers run around $120.

Here's where I ordered from. Be patient with them though, it took 10 days for them to even ship it. I think they might have to transfer them from other dealers, then ship them out...:

Find the spoilers under "Nissan Accessories", not "Parts".

 

Not sure if spam or srs... :O

 

I actually liked the Ebay one I had on my Z, wasn't that bad and it came already painted

 

Not everything on E-Bay is crap.You just have to be careful on your purchases.
For ?items like spoilers,you are rolling the dice buying overseas(China/Taiwan)
unless you have good info on the vendor.If you have a problem with the quality
or fit,watch out.I think the low price that you found is a indication of the market.
Prices on many items for our cars,especially 03-05 cars,will continue to fall.
Why?the 350 is out of production.Nissan parts want to move the inventory.
You may find items like the Nismo S-tune catback OS.Why should they produce more?
My Z came with the tiny OEM spoiler.I soon tired of it.Got a Blitz.

 

where is the direct link?

 

i like how people reference items sold on ebay like ebay is a freaking store/manufacturer/seller etc

 

I don't speak modern internet, so I don't know what "srs" means, but this is not spam, just trying to help out fellow owners...

 

Trust me, as an auto body professional, it was junk. Just like most of the aftermarket bumpers and body parts you find on eBay that seem like a bargain...

 

I gave you the link to the site and told you how to find it. Are you adverse to a few clicks?

 

Hey man I hear ya. I had an aftermarket OEM-style deck spoiler on my Z (purchased from spoilerdepot dot com) and the fit was fine, but the material was very thermally reactive in that the material expanded and contracted enough with temperature variation that it lifted the ends off the hatch, defeating the 3M tape that was holding it down, when it was cold out. Then in warm weather it would expand and close the gaps again. Very annoying and low-quality.

So, I found a different OEM Nissan parts source online and bought the real deal at a very discounted price, although not nearly as discounted as the link you provided. So the only thing I don't like about your post is that I didn't find it for myself. Thanks for helping out the community - $68 is a steal for a genuine painted OEM spoiler, even if you have to wait 2 weeks.

 

Thank you sry110. I guess you must be a sucky old person (with standards) too...

 

I have always considered myself relatively sucky, and now having crested the 31 year mark I am also indeed starting to feel old.
Side note: I went to the link you posted and just got pinwheeled and the page never loaded. Maybe a fluke, or is that an indication of the general laggyness dealing with this vendor?

 

Worked alright for me today...? Never had any other issues.

 

Thread's been cleaned up a bit. Please refrain from purposely posting irrelevant information and discriminatory remarks. You should know who you are since your posts disappeared.

 

FYI they can get 2003 through 2005 and cheap too! I just got a Silverstone spoiler for $79,, unfortunately the shipping is $60 cause they cant ship direct to me (they have to receive it from Nissan then ship it to me) so I have to pay shipping two times but $139 is half what the local dealer quoted me still!

 

How did you get to the older models. All I see is 06+

 

I had to call to order it

 

Regards, Caidrac: Nissan Parts Warehouse is sponsored by Peoria Nissan, the referenced spoilers are identified as "UOM". "OEM" spoilers can be found at the same site for a nom. 4x that price. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised, I've ordered one in Nagoro red.

Some might be interested in exploring N.P.W.'s other offerings, the list of body/drive train/electrical parts is pretty comprehensive. The OEM Nismo front bumper is fairly reasonable, those who wish to freshen up their Zs might find something of use.

Peace,

 

Regards. Spoiler arrived UPS today. Factory spoiler, Nagoro red, perfect match. All mounting hdw., mounting template, !NEW HATCH STRUTS incl. in the box! Also ordered alu. sill plates, these also are Nissan OEM parts. Total $148 with shipping. Took a while to receive (ordered June 21st) but exceedingly pleased with the transaction.

Peace.

 

Sweet! I recently picked up a used set of early Track wheels and had them repaired and repainted... In a search for a trunk liner that would resist wholesale store purchases sliding around, I found a factory rear carpet at NPW, as well as a set of Z logo chrome centercaps specifically for the Track wheels... 1 carpet and 4 centercaps ran me less than $100...



I just clicked on timeltel's link. It's dumbfounding that the white pearl spoiler I bought last year is $68 and change, and the San Marino Blue one is over $310! who knows how this stuff works with the Nissan dealers...

This is mine after paint. Perfect fit...:
