If you run into problems with the hatch opening after you install the spoiler, check out the hatch weight removal DIY.

Some members with 2011's and 12's are finding they don't have it!!! :confused::eekdance:

OP has a 2009, so yeah, check my thread on removing the hatch weight!

Haha yeh. Also looks like a unibrow lols.

What inspired ings+1 to make that? Just random? Don't they usually have well thought out parts?

It's like the opposite of the nismo spoiler.

add the spoiler
 
Go ahead and add the spoiler. I did, sure like it, but not the Nismo, a little high profile for me.

since adding a spoiler will cost money and you are unsure about it, i say don't do it.

Nice photo! Now I love it and want one even more! I plan to get it at some point but a Nissan Dealer quoted a price of $735 for part and install..... YIKES!!!!! They said they would charge me $390 just to install it if I got the spoiler privately. Do you think Nissan is giving me a ridulous over-inflated price for the install. Not sure what to do. I didn't think it would be that expensive to install it.

Nope that's about right . Usually if you buy from the dealership the OEM spoiler will set you back 400 +/- .

A dealer will usually be the most expensive to do an install. Research doing it yourself, I wouldn't think it's that hard.

I helped Install a stock replica spoiler on a friends G35 coupe. It wasn't very difficult at all, just take your time and get over the fear of drilling into your car. If I recall correctly, we were done within an hour.

It's really going to be what you want. For me, putting a spoiler on the roadster was a must. It completely changes the way the back of the car looks. The change is not quite as dramatic on the coupe. I installed mine myself. It was a little nerve racking to drill holes in a new car but I am very happy with the way it turned out. I doubt they would have been as anal about it as I was.

First of all I have to say that the spoiler looks great on your Roadster. Secondly, I would love to save money and think I could install the spoiler myself. But if you think YOU'RE anal, just read one of my posts of how nuts I got when a Nissan Service jockey wanted to readjust my seat when he needed to move it to the service bay. Drilling holes in my Z?????? Don't think so! :shakes head:

Thank you for the the kind words Haha, I concede. You may be more anal than me! :tiphat:


So far the only thing anyone but me has done to her is the oil changes (because they are covered under my service plan) and replacing the wiring harness that chafed through in the top. I have installed all the mods myself... both the car and the bike. :happydance:

Too bad you're so far away. I would have paid you to install mine. If you can get yourself to drill holes in a brand new car, I would trust you with mine! :tup:
