Default Nismo Spoiler / Replace factory question?

Hey.... I have a factory spoiler on my car, and it started to peel up on the sides. So I have decided to get a NISMO spoiler instead, prob from japanparts.com. My question was do the bolt holes line up? Does anyone know this? Or is this a really dumb question and there is a "standard?". This is what the guy at my locdal body shop asked me....


-Thanks for your time~

SORRY. the answer is No, it doesn't.
I had a stock spoiler and i took those out and there were 4 holes and Nismo will only cover 2.
and depends on where your car distributors are, your Z hatch might have LOTS of scratches (when they installed your spoiler in US) under your stock spoiler.
so you will need to fill up 4 holes and some body work to make your hatch straight and repaint.
so its lot of work to do.
some vendors have nismo spoiler in-stock now so you can have one in a week. (japanparts.com will take alot longer since they are in japan).
so my suggestion is get a nismo wing first then, bring your z to bodyshop to do all those other job done same time.
DO NOT take out your stock spoiler by urself.
you will not want to drive your Z any more until you have NISMO on your hand.

Default wow

Given that your car is <2yrs old it is an embarassment that the paint is peeling off your spoiler. You should take it in to the dealer and have them replace it or at least give you a new one that you can sell...and if that's the quality of the OEM nissan one, I'd be scared what the nismo one will be like...and needless to say the nismo one is $$$$$$. (although I believe it's not painted)

I've heard the bolts definitely don't line up.
