Look forward to pics, where did you get your spoiler?

 

I got it from infinitipartsusa.com.

 

That is alot of sugar for a dime, but with the proliferation of 3D printers and quality double sides tape, it's not impossible to crank these things out at a much lower cost than the OEM units ($50 still seems nuts, that's 3/4s of a tank of gas in CA). I think the camera cut-out is always going to be an issue with the low cost version. Recall that for the first gen there were nice color matched aftermarket spoilers for sub $150, but that model didn't have the cut-out to consider. Fingers are crossed.

 

I think signals were crossed, the ones in the original thread (I got one so I know it's legit) were OEM spoilers that either fell off a truck or somehow were sold in bulk to this e-bayer. These didn't have instructions, hardware or templates but they were genuine Nissan parts, these have long since been sold out, the above poster just bought a regular priced spoiler (unless I'm the one that's confused).

 

So here is where I started. I put the template on and used a sharp wood screw and hammer to mark the drill points.

Next I drilled the holes and disassembled the bracket with the camera and button, reinstalling them in the included new bracket. Mine was wrapped up within the spoiler.

Here is the reinstalled camera and button. I added a washer to the button to make the button poke out a tad more like the chrome piece. I also had to bend the corners of the metal bracket for the button to keep it from impinging on the spoiler once screwed down.

I've seen the drilling part of this and while I could have done it, 3M trim tape super sticky works as good. There were a few 1 inch places where the spoiler didn't have 2-sided tape, so I cut and placed tape there to seal the edges. Then instead of drilling I cut the clips and used 3M tape to stick it to the trunk.



And the finished product!

 

Nice job, no need for those outer clips and drilling outside the chrome cover wasn't something I wanted to do to my G. Bet you're happy w/ the new look!

 

Yeah I'm glad I read your post before I attempted this lol!

 

I stand against that opinion about no need for drilling outside the chrome cover because when I installed my OEM rear deck spoiler the sides/edges didn't sit flush with the trunk but only after drilling the outside holes and using clips...

thats just my 0.02

 

@Deelow, Where did you order your spoiler from? Directly from the dealership? or online?
Do you know which online store is Canadian friendly? My dealership is unable to source the spoiler from the distributers here in Canada

 

I ordered from infinitipartsusa.com

Not sure if they're Canadian friendly but I paid less than $400 for my OEM, w/camera and button spoiler.

 

Did you check to make sure the outer edges had good 2 sided tape as well? Thats why I used it on my clips as well. Something to remember if you wax or polish your car the instructions say to use 91% or better alcohol to prep the area for sticking.... just my 2 cents...

 

I just realized you posted it above lol.

Anyways, looks good! You going to get the front lip ?

 

Strongly considering the non sport front lip. Trying to find a deal on it, you know anyone? Lol

 

Hmm interesting... I purchased mine for $280 from them too already factory color (graphite shadow) painted with the camera cutout and all hardware included with templates

 

Are you a sedan or Coupe? Sport or non-sport?
