here is some pics of the q45t spoiler that i retrofitted to fit a maxima First i made two cuts in the spoiler so that it would fit the max Believe it or not the max trunk is wider than a q45. Then use fiberglass to mold the two section back together and let cure for several hours i use a heat gun much faster.





last is sanding and primer. My car is all primer so i did'nt car about the paint itself

 

Looking good! Lets see the entire car painted already

In another thread I thought you said you were going to mold the spoiler all the way down to the bottom of the trunk. No biggie just wondering..

i am i just thought i would post a quick thread to show how the process was done

Bad photography. it was just something quick tooken that day with two different cameras. once my car is up and running i will get some better shots. after my engine is back in i will be taking it to a body shop for my paintjob hopefully before summer hits.

 

it certainly adds a new feel (along with the bumper cover there) of curvaceousness to the whole rear of the car.

 

I like it...Best looking 3rd gen spoiler I've seen IMO...

 

It fits VERY well with the white stillen kit. Not sure how well it would look with black.

I do really like nForces stillen type 1 spoiler for black max's...

Oh I just noticed the antenna, very nice! Im considering the same thing since my antenna is broken and the area around it is rusty...how hard was that to install?

looks good...gonna look real good when you are finished.

 

hmm i thought you've been done with this for a while?...

other than that, looks great, my stock spoiler is FUBAR
i dont mind fabricating stuff, ill make it look good until im satisfied
looks like a fun project

 

Thanks for the input. I followed michael's last max that was sold to pervis not to long ago and thought how would his set-up look on my white max. So i did it and didnt like it on a white car. I did almost the same set-up with the exception of a few things. that was one badarse car. But as far as the spoiler goes i don't have much to do except mold it a bit lower in counjunction with the rear center valance, what a messy project to do. I hate working with fiberglass but once finished you get good results.

 

michael what's a good price for a decent paint job? Been awhile since i had a car painted.

 

well if you remember i preferred the no spoiler look and only put a spoiler on (and removed the kit) because thats what PA wanted. i still like the no spoiler/stillen kit look the best. i was going to do something similar to you but use an old trunk lid and edges from my parts car quarters to build a small lip. then i decided to sell this car as well so i never started it.

i am not sure what a good paint job will run in az but i would guess $2500.

 

dude, you are my inspiration lol hope you dont mind but I think I'm gonna start considering the q45 spoiler for my car, its a nice clean look and its super affordable (for me at least! and maybe Alex)

 

Was it an SE or a GXE?
If it was an SE, How do you remove the spoiler?

Hey John, I LOL seeing you avantar (the ring/pancake pic)

 

Thank you sir, I'm finally getting some comments about it! I thought that everyone on ORg would laugh with my new avatar but noone noticed it

 

it's an SE. unless it's a GXE w/ SE tails, but that's not as likely.

 

hot definitly a first for me

 

if you read his write up on his car or car domain it was a 92 gxe converted to se 5 speed swap i believe or just the VE swap

 

dang. go figure. is there an eat-words smiley? Kinda like what I'm doing but I'm mixing styles while sticking with stock parts. thus i'm calling mine neither SE nor GXE when i'm done. i created a new name that i mentioned in some other post.. "SXE"

i really admired that ride. i dunno why pa wanted the plan and shallow look even though the paint job was very nice and detailed. U really took your time with the sanding and preping and choosing the right rims. Interior was also a big + so i guess i tip my hat off to you. i had the stillen type 2 spoiler also but sold it to a friend of mine.

by any chance you have any pics of your new ride the one with the painted valve cover and plentium

 

Other than mine, that is the only other spoiler I have seen that I like on a 3rdGen. I think the Q45 spoiler really matches well with the body kit.

 

PA is OG...he isn't flashy and just likes the clean look of the stock body lines...its just his taste and it looks nice and classic. Plus I think he was worried about ground clearance.

I am not finished with my car to have any pics. Basically right now I just have the car in a million pieces (no trunk, bumpers, hood, doors, windows etc).

I will be painting it soon and believe me I will be showing pics then. Basically the car is going to look just like my other one did before PA bought it except it will have stock wheels...I am letting the new owner pick his own wheels to put on it later.


btw it will be painted by the end of next weekend. Maybe not put together but painted. All the body panels are slick now except the trunk. I have to block sand one more door, weld up the holes in the SE trunk (and prime/block it) and a few little things on the bumpers then I will be ready for sealer and paint.

 

dude I seriously cant wait to see your car...i love your work and your taste, its pretty much like mine except I cant express it cuz lack of $$ and skills

 

bah I had the ultimate spoiler on my friends max the other day. drove it for a good 180 miles that way too .

 

Looks like someone painted the ENTIRE car black......



Nice looking

 

I highly doubt that.... maximas worth painting? I think not!

/sarcasm

ahahahahahha @ the bumper spoiler

i like that Q45 spoiler and the LED spoiler wings west sells that is fiber glass i think?

other than these spoilers, ive been thinking ofa GXE trunk bit with a LED bar recessed in the trunk. Kind of like the mustang trunk lids

BUT without the spoiler... cant find a damn good picture

"like sew"

 

hmm, thats not too bad either, I was thinkin of that last time. I saw a SHO at the JY today and the spoiler off one of those seems to go with the 3rd gen as well but who knows..

 

 

NO LEDs FTMFL

 

half the members reading this thread just commited suicide upon seeing that photograph. I dropped my razor blades and couldn't find them.. otherwise that picture'd have killed me too.

 

you're just sayin that cuz it doesnt have LEDs

 

if you say so

 

I think that was my sister's old Civic.

 

pa how that new suspension set-up workin out for ya?

 

what the fugdecicle!!

 

as Jeremy Clarkson would say "just look 't it. it's hideous.. it just looks like a sc***um"

 

what ever oddball person who did this has entirely too much time on his or her hands. there is no words to describe this but "what the fudgecicle"

that car is a waist of machinery just like that one 3rd gen with the twin turbo's and one of the turbo's pipes being inside of the car with the driver.

 

That Q spoiler definitely looks good... I even have a parts Q45 laying around but I'm not sure if it has a spoiler or not. I'll have to go look now.

Oh and... uh... here:










YES, its a joke!

 

Zip ties FTMFW

 

That must add like 50 horsepower...
