Yes sir the back of the spoiler has been paint match to the car, its actually the carbon fiber version....since the spoiler had to be shaved down I went that route to hide the fact that it was shaved

Interesting and a nice touch. Didn't know that ravspec made a carbon version.

Does anybody know if a 2006 G35 Sedan rear spoiler will fit on the newer models?

Here's a few more shots for anyone trying to decide. My favorite thing about the OEM rear spoiler is the chrome elimination, makes a huge difference to me. Wasn't too big on the shape at first, but it's grown on me a lot, and I'm glad the car I found came wth it

I can't quite put my finger on why, but the OEM spoiler looks like an afterthought to me. It doesn't seem to compliment the lines of the car.

With that said, I'm not a fan of the chrome beret across the trunk either. I recall in 2007 when I first saw pictures of the new body style, I swore I'd never own one based on that beret across the trunk.

Mine came with the Camry looking 08 sport spoiler.. So I went with the Stillen V2 spoiler Love it!

The G37S OEM spoiler hangs off on the edges. The Stillen V2 does no and flows perfectly with the lines of our trunk.

Hope this helps

The Stillen Spoiler looks really good! I'm trapped between the OEM factory spoiler and the Stillen one.

Go with the stillen if you like the Duckbill look.. go with the OEM if you are more into the flat laying spoiler.

I might go with the OEM. I had a 2013 G37x loaner with the spoiler and I liked the look of it! It looked good on a stock vehicle!

I agree and have a hard time seeing how one could argue otherwise.

For whatever reason this is what makes it appealing to me, it stands out and isn't what you'd expect to see, considering the rest of the car.

I'm not sure if I'd call it a "signature" but Infiniti has a history of making OEM spoilers that clash with the overall body design of its cars (i.e. "ironing board" on 1st gen coupe). The G sedan spoiler isn't an exception, and I think it's almost a part of the identity of Infiniti's aesthetic

Per the previous set of pictures, I think that past OEM spoiler designs tend to look really dated before their time, which is disappointing since the 03-04 sedan have an otherwise classic look without the spoiler[s].

While I'm not a huge fan of the standard chrome beret spoiler, I tend to think it has more of a timeless look as compared to the current duckbill spoilers that are available.

What about this spoiler from Stillen (below)?



It seems to be a nice compromise, but I cannot find anything definitive online. The blurb I did find said that it's for cars w/o the backup camera, but that doesn't make sense since the camera is integrated into the chrome lip and this appears to fit right over the chrome lip.

The chrome lip doesn't look all that bad on Liquid Platinum, so I'm thinking about keeping it for now.
