Spoilers
 
I got a GLE (no spoiler) and i wanted to get one on there.
I saw where a guy had a galant spoiler on his max and didn't want to copy but i didn't want the stock max one.
I looked around and thought maybe the subaru legacy spoiler might work
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=009)
or maybe the 2007 g35 spolier
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=013)

anyone kno if these will fit or give an opinion on which would look better?
thanks...

The OEM one looks better than both of those. You might want to consider the M3 Style lip spoiler.

oem or m3 lip style > *

how've you been?

kzoosho 11-24-2007 03:44 PM

I am thinking about doing m3 when i go carbon fiber also.

MDeezy 11-24-2007 03:45 PM

I think the M3 style dominates all.

I agree style without clutter.

the one that made me a believer
http://webpages.charter.net/somarvel...%20spoiler.jpg

i love it but only if i was a little bit bigger, which got me thinking what about the one thats from the '07 Max, the trunk measures 47" ours is about 49, if it flexes, and a little bit of a mod, it would look hot

i would do a photoshop, but i dont have any pics of the 4th gen w/o a spoiler, and i dont feel like taking it off. but if i didnt have a spoiler, i would give it a shot. something different and nice since we all love how the green i30/M3 lip spoiler looks

kzoosho 11-24-2007 03:58 PM

I like it on the 6th gen

SoMarvelus 11-24-2007 04:00 PM

love the way it sticks out, the only thing i dont like about the m3 lip is that from the side, it looks like there is no spoiler!!, only looks good from the back

kzoosho 11-24-2007 04:13 PM

Yea it does look missing from the side. I may do a lil custom work when i get mine . Just to make it look a lil better.

SoMarvelus 11-24-2007 04:51 PM

or you can double it up, buy two and put them on top of each other

http://webpages.charter.net/somarvel...ff/doubled.jpg

but if somebody is willing to get the 2007 oem and see would be great, i would but i already have a spoiler, so if i decide to do it it would be later, later on

the price is pretty good off ebay

ptatohed 11-25-2007 12:28 AM

How about the Type X from Paradox, or, now that CE is back (and if they even sell them), the Type II from CE?

HomerMAC 11-25-2007 06:25 AM

i like the OEM or the type II is a nice change but def ther original shape. it makes it look liek its jsut a sport model for the maxima.. opposed to those civic guys with the mitsubishi eclipse spoilers... a bit ricey

CE is back :confused: wow though they were gone for good.

I kinda liked the Type X OEM but with a little twist.

Good, same old, same old. Now that you got a working comp, let the posting begin! :grinno:

MDeezy 11-25-2007 08:23 AM

That's what I said/thought too! I think it's under new ownership. The phone number is a different area code, the website has a different feel, the products are a bit different, etc. I've e-mailed customer service three times asking a question about a product and all three were ignored. They are not off to a good (re-)start with me. :(

The CE spoiler is better than the Type X in the sense that it has mounting holes on all four legs, not just the middle two. But I think the type X gives you a choice of clear or red third brake light. I think both hit a low of $100 on their best of best sales. I actually have one of each in my garage (I'm really bad with making purchases and not installing them :rotz:).

It appears to only be custommaxima.com. If you type in custumenterprises.com, it directs you to cm. I guess they went back to only doing maxima and not other nissans. They have free shipping but their prices seem inflated to factor in the shipping (ex. a $650 hood I was looking at is $750 with "free" shipping).

MorpheusZero 11-26-2007 10:09 PM

Honestly I'd say go OEM 4th gen or go home. None of these other spoilers really work with the 4th gen's lines, not even the "M style" lip spoiler.

it's my car, I like the spoiler and that's why I bought it.
I love the way it hangs back and it looks almost stock so only those in the know... know that it's not stock.

thats the winner i love that, how much is it?

ptatohed 11-27-2007 12:16 PM

Getting older sucks. At 25 I thought spoilers were cool. Now at 32, I realize they are pointless (on most cars and especially FWD cars) and just add unneeded weight. :(

I'll be shaving my OEM spoiler from my '99 SE pretty soon.

jvckustumz 11-27-2007 12:20 PM

i like the 05+ mustang lip spoiler, does anyone have a max with one of these on it?

yea i agree but the rearend of 4th gens looks so bad to begin with u gotta have something on there to distract observers.

jvckustumz 11-27-2007 12:21 PM

GET CANARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reece616 11-28-2007 08:13 PM

i was looking to go for something different but the one from paradox is pretty nice. there's one similar to it from ionic dynamics but it's like $250 so i dunno about that...

Ceasars Chariot 11-29-2007 03:18 AM

i just took mine off today on my 97, darn thing only weighs 4 lbs, thinkings i may put it back on, but after race weekend.

JSMax 11-29-2007 04:01 AM

the paradox unit is way heavier than 4lbs.

ptatohed 11-29-2007 11:21 AM

Hey 4lb is 4lb. What do they say?... A 100lb weight reduction chops about a tenth off your 1/4 mile? Then hey, remove 24 more spoilers from your car and you've got another 1/10 sec. ;)

98maxima_rk 11-30-2007 06:54 AM

I like the 4th gen spoiler better than anything.

i don't really know, thats what my car has on it (my 05 gt, not the max lol)
mine is the premium package i think, it is just whatever the dealership wants to put on, my fiances 06 v6 has the wing, not the spoiler and it is the premium package also

SoMarvelus 11-30-2007 10:35 AM

nice, can you do some quick measurements to see if it would fit on the max?

deadmax96 11-30-2007 07:23 PM

i swapped my 4th gen with the I30 spoiler...it looks cleaner in (in my eyes). than to my oem. i'll post a pic when i get the damn thing to work right when DL'ing. its not painted but taking it off again to get that done

max's trunk is 25" across
mustang is 26 3/4" across
max's trunk has a rounder top than the stangs
stangs trunk has a rounder back than the max
the spoiler on the stang all together measures 30 1/4"

i think with some modification to the spoiler you could make it fit,
(cut the part that goes on the trunk down to 25", mold it to have the arch that the max trunk has, ect.)

jvckustumz 12-01-2007 10:22 AM

why doesn't anyone have canards on their max?? am i going to be the first to get them???
