Hey guys.... i got a question. I just bought a 89 max se. One odd thing is that it's spoiler is made out of rubber!! I don't know if it is a rubber but some sort of material that i'm not familiar with. It looks just like the factory spoiler. And my friend said he also saw a max with the same spoiler! So for those of you who has a regular 3rd gen max spoiler..... is this factory or what??!!

 

its cheap factory crap that squishes...wanna squish mine?

 

All SE's came with a stock "Squishy" spoiler. It's foam, and prone to rust on the ends.

 

So you guys have a different spoiler or still have the factory on?
Know any place where they sell "real" spoiler... with same factory look??

 

Stillen, CustomMaxima.com

 

Who cares if it's rubber. It's such a great pickup line:

"Hey, wana squeeze my spoiler?"

Try it sometime, garunteed to get the girls.

 

HAHA ... well i guess i'll learn to live with it

 

Rust killed mine....

 

i think the all vgs came with the soft spoiler but all of the Ve's 92 and above came with the hard one. i've never seen a 92 or above with a soft spoiler

 

all stock 3rd gen spoilers are the same

I guess the ones you've seen are aftermarket

I have a 93SE with NERF spoiler and I've seen many other VEs with the same

 

like Craig said I have a 93SE (VE) with a soft spoiler. My parts car is a 89SE and it has the exact same spoiler.

 

yeah i was at a mall and i came back to my car and there was a gash in my nerf spoiler. i was ****ed and there is nothing that i can do about it. what the *** is the reasoning behind making a soft spoiler?

 

cheaper is better...or at least more annoying...good job

 

haha. Nerf spoiler. why the hell would they do that??? i have never touched a 3rd gen spoiler before. i feel deprived now. they shouldnt have even painted it. they should have left it the Nerf orange color

 

Nerf Yeah, mine is toast. Lookie. Its actually bent on the left side of the light, so its pulling up the whole left side of the spoiler. Its being held down now by two screws through the trunk lid. I cant wait to toss this dang thing!

 

mushy mushy..

 

I hate the NERF wing My wing is starting to come up on the left side.

 

ok... maybe they made it nurf so that max would be more lighter??
more lighter.. more faster??

 

Nope thats not it (I know you were joking but...) I took my stock spoiler off and put on a Stillen and the trunk will fly all the way up(fast) when I pop the trunk because the fiberglass Stillen wing is so much lighter...I thought about leaving it that way so when I take groceries to the car I can just hit the button on my alarm and the trunk would open all the way for me but it swings up so fast I am worried it will mess up the hinges or something.

They did it because it was easier and cheaper to do.

 

wow dude, that is messed up!

 

It's not lighter. I took mine off to do a re-paint, and it's actually pretty heavy for a wing. Defintely outweighs a fiberglass equal.

Anyway, mine got a little crack in it now (dry rot???) and after a damp evening, I have a little patch of moss growing in there. I gotta scrape it out with a knife every week or it makes the crack bigger.

The nerf wing (actually urethane) is odd, but paint doesn't chip off as easy as a fiberglass or injection molded wing would.

 

geez!
maybe it'll help you make those left handed turns a lil tighter.....
or prolly help you to pop a two wheelie

 

crap. if it's made of rubber/nerf/squishy, then how do i make it shiny like the rest of the trunk?
Jae

 

it's still just painted. just buff it up like the rest of the car.

 

has any one had problems with the spoiler bubbling up after being painted? my car was painted about a year and a half ago, and it bubbled up after 1 yr. i then had it replainted last christmas, and now it just started to bubble again. the body shope manager should be getting back to me this week.

 

That is one of the reason I went with the Stillen since I am getting the car painted.

 

Has anyone seen the West Wings Spoiler? I have found it online a few places, but I dont know if anyone has it with any pics.

 

The soft spoiler makes for a good soft place to lean on when talkin outside near your car. I bought mine with the spoiler having an ashy look to it and the only thing i can do to revive the color is to put ArmorAll. on it

 

dayum now that is funny. Rubber wing. hmm.does it make the smae noise as the nerf football whril when your go fast???..lol.. j/k next time i see a 3rd gen ve i will get out of my max and "feel it up", hope fully the owner of the max wont se me..

 

i know right! i'm tempted to se what these look and feel like...can't wait to grope on that soft mushy goodness.... feels like 2 soft pillows.... er.... sorry dazed out for a moment there....

 

lol nice long and soft wing..its funny to think that these wigns are soft... hmm now all you guys need to get a hard on, opps i meant one, forgot the "e"..lol

 

I want one.. it just so soft.. women would love it.. i just tested Chrischeeser's wing.. Man that was so funny and shocking that it was , well what you guys said it was like.. a nerf football.. chris's response was something like..


"yeah its a nice cusion when i throw/hit kids over the back of my maxima, so that they have a soft landing.. geez what a guy..

 

and with that post i am finially maximabrain washed..

oh

um. does being soft ever turn gurls off for you guys with 3rd gen wings..?

 

at least we got one!

 

LOL.. hey mr softy... j/k

 

they may be squishy but they aren't soft... look at that picture of the wing that is bent... it is clearly sticking up and not limp, unless it's using viagra

 

My 1994 SE has the soft foam spoiler. What an engineering mistake! Nissan made a spoiler that holds water like a sponge which causes the anchor clips to rust and then break. The left side of my spoiler is held on by body tape. The foam also breaks down as it ages and then becomes wavy and mishapen. I am going to buy a new spoiler next year.

 

so your saying your "Ding-a-wing" is all curvey and is going limp... LOL j/k had to say it..lol.. Wow the wonders of moden technology, how much a transplant for a new thing, i mean wing..

 

hey on my maxima se i have one of those soft wings and on the left side it is starting to come off not all the way but there is a little gap. So what kind of adhesive should I use i heard someone say bodytape does that work well and it is durable or maybe something else i don't know someone let me know what works.

 

You can buy double sided "body" tape at Wal-Mart. Mine has held for three years. It is just now starting to come off. The total effect of the defect is not usually noticed by others. It is very apparent to me though. That is why I want to buy a new spoiler. The body shop said about $200 to paint and mount a new one NOT including the cost of the spoiler.
