Default Replacing Nismo Spoiler with Sport

Hey all, new here from south louisiana. My girlfriend just bought a new-to-her 2011 370z coupe with 4000 miles on it. The guy before had a Nismo spoiler installed, and she much prefers the look of the Sport spoiler. Does anyone know if the Sport spoiler would match or cover the existing holes if we removed the Nismo?

Thanks for any help on this topic.

Which spoiler was installed? There are several types and a few "knock off" Nismo type spoilers.

I was looking to replace the sport spoiler with either NISMO S or the NISMO PEM and in both cases the holes don't line up. The NISMO OEM covers more hatch than the sport so you will need to do body work.

Take some good pics and post them. A direct shot form the back would work. Then we can tell you if it is an actual Nismo spoiler or not. Some copies use the same holes.

Are there any more lower profile spoilers that will reuse or cover the mounting holes for this one? We would like something similar to this...

That is very affordable, thanks for the link. the last question remaining is will that spoiler cover the holes of the current Nismo she has?

Looks like the NISMO S spoiler. The sport spoiler wraps around the taillight and requires you to drill new holes.

Why not just offer to swap trunks with someone local that has the same PG color and wants the S-Tune spoiler. That way everyone gets something they want. Before someone else points it out the vin numbers are on the trunk lid. I know for sure there is a sticker on them I'm not 100% if there stamped in or not.

S-tune is not even that big of a spoiler. It just looks out of place because the rest of the kit is not on.

Don't worry. The wing has been identified.
