add on spoiler for 2015+ nismo

mlsully · 02-16-2019, 07:19 PM

Shot from the rear and side to help get an idea of the profile. The more I look at the car, the more I feel it was a nice finishing piece needed for the rear. Now just patiently waiting on the rear carbon diffuser and get rid of the street aero one.

Godspeed!! Finally fixed it today.

God-Speed · 02-20-2019, 07:33 PM

Solidus, looks good.

So how do you like it and how is the fit?

Volk Z · 02-20-2019, 07:57 PM

ZontheRocks · 02-20-2019, 08:23 PM

Pics from further back? Looks good!

They look good. I'm still waiting for a Warm weekend so I can put it on.

I love the spoiler. The fit I would give an 80%. The rear of the spoiler doesn't contact the rear of the factory spoiler leaving a gap. Also when you install marking the point where the ends of both sides lay flat is absolutely necessary. I was going to have a body shop make it perfect but decided I'd do it myself. If you took the time with a dremel you could possibly remove enough inner material to have it lay flat and be flush in the rear but it's questionable if there's enough material. Overall it looks so good I'd do it again.

Sounds like you ran into the same problems that mlsully ran into.

mlsully · 02-21-2019, 12:18 PM

I was afraid of taking the dremmel to it as well. Doesn’t seem like there was enough material there to make that much of a difference. Even considered hacking up the oem, but f**k that lol.

Yes, although it would affect aerodynamics (minimally I'd assume).

OptionZero · 10-31-2019, 12:28 PM

if it's held on by adhesive only . . . i don't think its going to be affecting aero much

I'm 200lbs and for ***** and grins I pressed my bodyweight on the hatch to the point of basically a dip. With the 3M adhesive it completely holds me up, to add I also did 10+ runs at Wannagofast two weeks ago. No problem with the spoiler. With the angle of deflection I would say it adds a few more lbs of downforce to the rear for sure, as far as enough to help is subjective seeing as I was still spinning the wheels at the 1/4 mile mark. Considering I'm well over 700rwhp and the surface was spoiled by sand and dust that spoils the effect.

Where did you order it?
