Sure... I can understand that... I guess I'm just used to Honda. Honda will sell anything to anyone.

Honda sold more limited edition Mugen Civic parts through dealers than the actual cars. lol

I work in a body shop. I think part of the problem is that acording to my estimating program the nismo spioler does not come in an assembly. It has 20 seperate parts. Upper spoiler, lower spoiler, brackets, gaskets, tapes, etc. Total on all the parts is roughly $2687.83.

That's kind of why I'm wondering if the dealer made a mistake and assumed the OP was refering to the Nismo S-Tune spoiler. One would question the logic in spending that much on just a spoiler when buying a new car. Especially when for a few thousands more, you could drive off in a "real" Nismo which includes the spoiler & body kit, just to name a few.

Hey all, thanks so much for the advice and input! You guys really set me straight. I'm at the stealership right now getting one of my other Nissans serviced so i popped in to talk to the shop manager handling my spoiler. What you guys have said falls right in line with what they are saying. Yes, i really wanted the spoiler, but there are some aftermarket ones you have shown me that also look more "factory" than i would have imagined. I think i might get re-imbursed for what i already paid, get one of the other spoilers on the market, and put the rest toward oil cooler or track membership fees. Thanks so much for all of your advice!!!
