Lip spoiler

Anyone can post a picture of a lip spoiler?
I want to get one but don't know how it would look on 5th gens with a trunk having double edge. I know that on 4th gens it looks good.

That's because I'm not entirely sure it exsists for our cars, and if it does, I've never seen it.

I had the Paradox lip spoiler on my trunk. It did NOT want to fit the curve of my trunk, and as a result, kept pulling itself off.

Considering the Maxima has a more curved edge on its trunklid than mine I'd say any chance of success of making the paradox spoiler stay on will be slim.

what was the material of the lip spoiler? If it was urethane, maybe it just needed some heating

ABS plastic. It was installed 3 times. Surface cleaned, prepped with alcohol. Was heated with a heat gun, new double-sided tape applied each time.

Trust me, the problem was not in the installation.

Did you attempt to hot glue it? I'm assuming you were using the heavy duty red tape.

Hot glue? That's funny. And yes, I used several varieties of 3M double-sided mounting tape.

This is why I don't talk about this spoiler anymore. Every time I do everyone thinks I didn't install it correctly. I know of at least 2 other I30/I35 owners who have experienced the same problems I did.

If you all think you can do it better, be my guest. I've warned you.
