Wanted to know.....

I'm looking to acquire a replacement OEM chrome spoiler due to a freak accident over the holiday. It acquired some deep scratches from a friend ( drunk a$$) I checked infiniti and I will not pay over 200.00 for that cheap POS. Anyone know of a decent after market supplier or a discount internet site? I thought about a junk/salvage yard but none are close by. Input appreciated. I should add I am not interested in the big OEM or after market replacement, just the small chrome spoiler. Thanks.

Heh...Heh... that's funny. Acquire/steal, same thing. i was actually thinking I would paint one matte black and have a replacement if I got tired of it.

I think if your car is still stock, then keep it chrome.. if you wanna go for matte black spoiler you need to match it with other mods (wheels, overlays etc..)

Yeah, I agree but this is just the first step. Planning to get CAI, Rear valance overlay, stillen front splitter etc..etc.... I have a 2003 330Ci that I have been modding and just sold so I was taking a breather.

Does seem expensive. Sewell online is $188.56 and that still seems expensive.
