Yes, those are them. But just to be sure of fitment, I would email to ask the length of it and measure your trunk lid so it doesn't fall short or hang over.

I dont believe there are any good ones...pretty much all of them are nonflexible and dont stick to our trunks well....IMO its not worth it...

I bought the I30 96-99 spoiler on ebay and to me it looks good on the 95-99 maximas. gtr_rider has the I30 96-99 spoiler lip on his ride and its looks awesome in my opinion. ^Check out his pics

you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften up when you're installing it. sold one to a bodyshop guy. seem him use a special heat lamp to soften abs plastic parts.

It doesn't really look good, even on the M3.

I agree with the others...if you pay $20 dollars for it...it will look crappy. You might as well just be riding around with your car in the wonderful color "Primer Gray."

why dont you go to paradox systems and buy the m5 lip spoiler they sell for 2k and up i30/i35's? its like 50 and their pic has a 96-99 i30 so if their oem spoiler fit a 4th gen then wouldnt the m5 spoiler fit your car too. im just throwing this out there why dont you check it out.

i would just go with the stock spoiler that comes on 99's. You know it will fit your car and it looks pretty good. I just think you can't go wrong with it

Huh? What you said doesn't make sense in two ways. First of all, all stock spoilers are the same. Secondly, if they were different, why would you recommend he puts a 99 spoiler on his 97 Maxima???

Nah, they're all the same.

Did I say they were different? No. Obviously a 99 spoiler would fit on a 97 or 98. So does it matter? I guess if I wanted to just state the obvious I would say get a 97 spoiler. But it doesn't really matter. I kind of hinted that any 97-99 spoiler would fit. But ok..

Your first statement kind of implies that 99 spoilers are different. If it was so clear and obvious, ROCKART wouldn't have asked a follow up question. Bottom line... your wording was poor IMO. I was just clearing things up.

Nice edit BTW...

no the only thing i didn't word correctly was, i said 99 instead of 97-99. I guess I didn't think 99's were thought differently from 97 or 98's, but apparently I was wrong. SORRY.

97-99 front end, 97-99 taillights, idk what else people say on here. But if he bought a spoiler from a 99 it would still fit his car. Which is my point
