Rear spoiler disintegrating

The soft "cushy" foam Nissan used to manufacture the stock rear spoiler on my '94SE is starting to break down. This appears to be a common problem for this type of spoiler. The left end is currently held to the car by body shop tape. The mounting clip embedded in the spoiler failed after rusting due to the moisture held by the foam material the spoiler is made of.

Had anyone else had to replace their spoiler and can they recommend the most affordable source for a factory equivalent looking spoiler.

I went to the Stillen web site, but could only find spoilers for 300ZX cars. Can you help me narrow it down? Do you have a model number? If not I can just call them.

Thank you.

The wing I have is fiberglass it is the type 2 wing Part Number: 108259L . It looks good but you will need a body man to put it on.

The one you have listed is a urethane which is nice but it is still flexable and you may chip the paint one day by bouncing a basketball off of it

Do not go by prices on Stillens site either. I called and the Type 2 wing is listed as $224 on their site and I paid $205 shipped for it
