Very Cheap Alternative to the Factory Spoiler!!!!

Svre46 · 02-16-2011, 06:35 PM

I found a great factory spoiler alternative and I figured I would share this with the 370z community. This one looks to be 100% just like the OEM one. I bought a base without the spoiler. I did not want to fork over the price of the OEM one, or swap hatches since mine is VIN etched. This spoiler was only $139.00 with paint and shipping.

The paint is perfect. Looks as good as or better than the factory finish. The color is dead on. It has 3 coats of base and 3 coats of clear. I took the cover off my car and have only test fitted it on my car since its still cold out and the car will not have anything installed on it until I start driving it again. The company it actually came from is Wingtech according to the tracking and invoice.

WingTech Aerodynamic Prepainted Spoilers

I bought it from this Ebay link. The seller is thespoilercompany and have excellent feedback.

I don't like the word cheap. It looks good though. Keep updates after some time has past.

Looks like they make one for the G37 too, and ive been wanting to replace my ugly chrome one...

The invoice shows that DuPont was used. Compared to Nissans eco-friendly paint that you can dent with your fingernail I think it should be ok. The rest of it is plastic so no worries in that department. Will keep people posted.

Yes!!! I bought the same one. I'm just waiting for mine to ship, it should be any day now.

Jordo! · 02-16-2011, 07:58 PM

Do they offer any other pre-painted wings?

Nevermind -- just looked. Bunch for the 350 and other nissans.

The color match looks excellent.

I would advice against it, we've installed several OEM rep spoilers and they are truely a pain in the ***, maybe not in the Z's case but the factory reverse camera on the G mounts to the spoiler, and there's no mounting brackets on the rep. spoilers so you have to glue it in. Some rep spoilers don't even fit properly and you have little gaps on each side of the spoiler because the curve is not 100% dead on.

If you want, we can ship you a OEM spoiler with a camera hole, painted to your specs when we ship back the taillights. Let me know soon.

true but the these incidents are not all the time. what do you expect for that price.. little modification your still ahead especially if it comes already painted. still worth it.

Good find!!!....I too bought a base, during negotiating I requested a OEM spoiler at dealer cost, and charge me half that price with installation, ended up being a little over $300 bucks, but had I known of this sooner, I would have reconsidered and opted for some other goodies during negotiation. I think this spoiler looks the best on the 370z, it's clean, simple, and classy yet aggressive just my opinion

Mt Tam I am · 02-17-2011, 09:41 AM

It looks stock as does the color. Good find.

Red__Zed · 02-17-2011, 11:21 AM

looks great! good price as well.

Zlips · 02-17-2011, 11:23 AM

Wow, great find. How is the install process?

SoCal 370Z · 02-17-2011, 11:27 AM

I wonder how long Nissan will allow this to be sold before sending the lawyers out?
