if uve done this before, please comment on how easy/difficult it is to remove

main concern being the double sided adhesive thats used

 

the double sided adhesive should be the least of your worries. i have mine taken off when i had the car painted. there are 6 holes for the damn thing and that sob is on there. the final look is great without a spoiler, but i might suggest just trying to find a trunk without a spoiler already

 

hmm i c
thx
nice ride
cant say im a big fan of the green but its definitely unique

i was actually thinking of keeping the spoiler but just removing the middle portion under the leds

if its not the adhesive what is it
just bolted on really tight?

 

What are you going to do with the stock spoiler after you take it off...?

 

i was wondering is it cheaper to find another trunk without a spoiler or to have a body shop fix it? would they have to repaint the entire trunk or just fill the holes and blend it in?

 

ugh... well 2 quote myself

either that or painting/buffing and pluggin the holes

 

it depends on the type of fix that you want done. do you want them to just bondo the holes, or have them welded shut? that what you need to think about. that will make a difference. mine are welded shut.
the way you get the spoiler off i believe is that you actually either slide it forward or back then it will come off. the guy that did mine took him a while to realize that and i wasn't there when he took it off.

ryant35 i still got my factory spoiler sitting around if you're interested.

if you just want to remove the center post get a G35 spoiler. there are a few threads that talk about it if you do a search. that would be your best bet instead of having a lot of custom work done to your spoiler

 

trunks without spoilers r really rare
i've only seen em on GLEs
dunno if dealer sells them OEM
but the easiest way i no 2 get a trunk without spoiler is CF

 

Yeah what do you want for it? & what color is it?

 

dont wanna spend money on a G35 spoiler

even if i got it
1) i would still need 2 remove the stock 1 first
2) the holes for the center piece will still b there

so theres really no pt in spendin the $$

dont think itll b that much custom work
just a little touch up paint and seal holes
doesnt have 2 look perfect its not in an obvious spot and will be shadowed by the spoiler
plus my max is dark

 

Don't forget GXEs.

Must be green... if ryant35 doesn't want it, I might be interested... since our colors match...

 

i'd like 45 pluss shipping for it

 

Let me know what shipping is to 92647

Also is it complete? Tail lights? What about the condition?

 

If ryant doesn't buy it from you will you sell me your brake light cover off of it?

 

i'll check into shipping tomorrow and yes it's complete with the led lights in it with the factory plug

 

There was 9 on mine but yeah i just took mine off and the double stick tape they used is freaking great! I wish I could find some tape like that cause it sticks. Im going to be putting some metal plates under the holes and then applying body filler. The rear of the maxima looks sexy spoilerless and with the stillen rear valence.

here is what my car currently looks like:



and then after I get my kit refinished (side skirts are a poor color matchand my front lip is primer):

 

I just recently installed a OEM lighted spoiler on my 01. It was fairly easy. Mine did not have one originally so it might have been easier. I just had to drill a few holes and bolt it on, and run the wiring. I see that some people had double backed tape, mine came with the single backed tape so it does not adhere to the trunk itself, but just to the spoiler to prevent water. Since those holes that are drilled are most likely 1/4-1/2 then welding them in might be the smarter move.

 

nice chrome
agreed, looks better without stock spoiler
how easy/hard was it
did u just use floss to loosen tape?

 

it was on tight... like tight tight. I had to pry it off. I scratched the paint but I am repainting the trunk anyways.

edit: I used a blow dryer and some goo gone stuff.
