For the 2000 Maxima

 

then just get a body shop to slap it on there?

 

sure but I think it needs to be painted.

what about this?

 

Ya i would go with that since it is painted by year.

 

get one off ebay. I bought mine there, perfect fit, painted already, for around $200. Great deal!

 

The web site he found sells it for 145 painted.

 

i got it... about how much should i expect a shop to charge to mount it??

 

how hard would it be to install the spoiler myself? or is it worth paying the extra money to take it somewhere and have it mounted?

 

prob worth the money, gotta run the wires to for the brake light, prob only charge you like 50 bucks at the most, not a real tough job

 

spoiler is on it's way... contacted my local body shop and he's gonna install for about 20 bucks...

 

car goes in tomorrow to have it all installed i'm excited!

 

got the car back from the shop today... looks great... will have to take pictures once i can get it all cleaned up... but how can i disconnect the high brake light in the window? apparently he didn't disconnect that... i guess i could just take the bulb out...

 

Did you get it from ebay?? How's the paint match?? I want to get one for my 02 sterling.
I saw a thread with info about getting rid of the third light. They also sell a block off piece interior color match to cover the hole after removing it. I don't have the link (can't search).

 

yeah i got it from ebay... the link i think is above somewhere in this posting... i'll take a few pictures today and post them... i am really impressed- paint matches beautifully! it looks great! though now i am going to have to get used to my trunk being a little heavier than it once was

 

I got mine from spoilerdepot.com about a year ago and it came prepainted (exact color match) and looks just like nissan equiped models. I installed it on my 2000GLE in about 3 hours, (took my time centering and drilling and prepping holes). It was really easy electrical wise as the trunk lid was already prewired for the spoiler brake light.

 

I just checked spoilerdepot.com and not a bad price as well. Do you guys actually think the car looks better with it or w/out it? Opinion please. Kind of undecided if I should get one or not. Thanks.

 

I think the maxima looks great without the spoiler, but looks a whole lot better with one.

 

spoilers dont do much for the maxima they look good with or withou it
i would much rather spend the money on someting else ..
cosmetics come last to me.... mostly performance

 

personally, i think the max looks much better with the spoiler-- adds a lot to the car!

 

What did you do to prep the holes?? Prime and paint them or something else. and how hard is it to line up. I'm a little nervous about drilling my lid.
I was looking at this one http://www.nissan-accessories.com/PP.asp?PID=255 free shipping and comes with the block off for the third light ,but I like the price of the one at spoilerdepot better..

 

I went down to the dealer on a Sunday when they were closed and found a max with a spoiler on it and took some measurments so I would be able to install mine in the exact position. The spoiler comes with pointed set screws that you intall in 6 locations upside down so the pointed end is out so when you get it positioned just right on top of the lid a little top pressure puts little indents on the trunk lid giving you exact drilling locations. I to was a little nervous about drilling the seven holes, after the first one it was easy. Use a new bit. I prepped the holes with 2 coats of auto primer dabbed on with a Q tip and then a couple coats of touch up paint. After the wing was mounted (I siliconed the mounting holes for added weatherproffing) hooked up the spoiler brake light to the existing prewiring in the trunk lid. The plugs didn't match so I cut both of them off and hard wired the two together. I pulled the bulb from the brake light in the back deck and every thing works just fine. the job took about 3 hours. Most of the time was to make sure the spoiler was lined up correctly.

 

Anyone know of a m3 style rear lip spoiler for the 2k maxima?
