Swaping a wing from an SE to a GLE

Hey guys. I was thinking of running down to the local "You Pull it" yard and nabbing a wing off an SE. Is this do-able? The body shop next door to my place of work can easily paint it.


Thanks

Btw, Why does the lower model come with a wing and the higher doesn't??????

you probably wont be able to find one at the junk yard, and it might be easier to try to find a se trunk (i dont know if it will fit or not but i imagine it would), or look on eBay for the spoiler...

and btw, the SE is hardly a lower model, my SE could eat ur gle for breakfast

the SE is the sport version and comes standard with a spoiler.
the GLE is the luxury version and the spoiler is an option
the GXE is the base model

Well see its not really a junk yard. They put cars by the load in Manufacture specific spots then let the public in. Basically w/e you can take off yourself and bring it out you can buy. Pretty cool actually.
I didn't know the wing was an option on the GLE.
I guess ill have to swing by there tomorrow, only a dollar admission.

Most junk yards these days that would have a late model Maxima won't allow people onto the property to pull parts. If you do have one then consider yourself lucky.

The wing may block your third brake light. You will probably have to wire up the brake light on the spoiler.
