Rubber wing??
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??!!

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??

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

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

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.

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

Bad Foam, bad. Sit.
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.
