This is what I would like to know...

I am pretty sure that it will at least cover all the holes. I know Seibon wing does, and it is supposed to be an exact replica (other then the middle bar).

Here are some quotes from a thread I found:

The rest of the parts including heavier duty trunk lid shocks will run you about $2,100 to $2,400 dollars. This is for parts only. You still have to get it painted.

I have not completed my spoiler upgrade, so I do not know if new holes will need to be drilled. Additionally, I do not know if the Nismo spoiler base will cover the OEM hole. If they do not, I may purchase a new rear trunk lid for a base 370 that comes with no rear spoiler, thus having no holes.

Just a quick update. I finally finish the Nismo rear spoiler project. Thanks to Z1 and a local premium body shop, the spoiler parts were painted and installed. No new drilling or filling of rear deck holes was required. The Nismo wing fit perfectly.

I know that polyurethane can not be repaired, so I am wondering if the Nismo wing is polyurethane.

I would need to get it painted anyway, so if it can be fixed then it's a great deal.

Huh,thats news to me I fix that stuff everyday at work,you may want to get your facts straight.:icon14:

If you are referring to what I do for a living yes I'm a autobody tech.

Maybe I am thinking of a different material or technology has changed in the last 10 years. When I was rear ended 10 years ago in my Celica, I was told that whatever the stock bumper was made of needed to be replaced because the material was not fixable. I thought it was polyurethane.

I am glad you replied. So the consensus is that this wing is probably ABS plastic. Do you think the crack can be fixed and fully restored in strength?

At my shop we would charge $100 to fix plus paint time.

What's it take to sand down the previous paint and go with a different color just out of curiosity...

I don't know off hand b/c I do the body work not paint maybe between 75-150 and that's a guess.

diddy535 06-03-2013 10:55 PM

Not terrible at all really.

The OEM Nismo wing is 2 main pieces, the upper portion is about 600-800 and the lower portion (mount) is about 1200.

Also it's expensive because not just anyone can buy an OEM Nismo wing, you have to have a nismo VIN and ordering the wing as a replacement because of damage, etc.
