Nismo rear deck spoiler on 370Z sport coupe

Stevie Z

I own a 370Z touring coupe with sport option, I am considering replacing the stock rear hatch spoiler with the new 370Z Nismo spoiler. My concern is whether or not drilling new holes in the rear hatch is necessary. I do not want to drill holes and probably won't bother with it if I have to. Most Nissan parts reps don't know the answer to this question. One parts rep called a Nissan rep in my prescence and he stated that no drilling was needed and that after you remove the stock spoiler you utilize the existing holes to mount the new spoiler. I hope this is true, any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat you have to drill new holes for the Nismo and some of the old holes from the orginal sport spoiler would not be covered by the Nismo

almost $2400 list from Nissan!!!

list is always going to be high
you can probably get it cheaper
with that price it probably painted to match your car so if you think about it its not that bad

Not painted to match the car.
The price is MSRP from Nissan so you might be able to get it for a bit less, but you still have to paint it.

According to nissan, it comes painted to match every color. The price i was quoted was $850.00 U.S. and no drilling is required.

Thanks! I actually like the S tune for the street.See I'am interested in one for my black sport package.The real deal is nice for the complete Nismo package.
If that price is right painted and having to drill no holes its a no brainer in my book!

I ordered a Nissmo spoiler from the dealer. He assured me that it was a Nissmo product. $850 plus tax got me a spoiler pre-painted the color of my car. The unit also came with heavier duty trunk lift shocks. Upon futher inspection, I found that it was not the Nissmo spoiler I was expecting. It was much smaller in height then the one attached the the Nissmo on the show room floor. Disappointed, I reluctantly requested to have it installed. Two hours later the service department calls me and says they can not install this spoiler. The spoiler requires new holes to be drilled in the rear hatch. That is not so much the problem. The problem is that the new spoiler will not cover existing holes used to secure the origional spoiler. So the dealer says that I need a body shop to accomplish this retrofit. My next stop is the best body shop in the area. The owner come out with a magnet and inspects the car. He finds and shows me that the hatch lid and the hood are fabricated using either aluminium or some composit material. He then tells me that welding aluminium is a job that requires a lot of heat and will likely warp the surrounding metal, if it is metal. He says he would not touch it. He recomends I return the spoiler and not modify the car. At this point, I do not know what to do. Help???? Do I return the spoiler? How do I find the "True" Nissmo unit? Will it fit my trunk lid? Will I need to drill more holes? Will the OEM holes be covered? Should I wate till I can find trunk lid and spoiler in junk yard????

Anybody with expirence please respond.
