G35 spoiler - To be or not to be?

Getting some final body parts ready before the Max hits the paint shop for some "minor" detailing work. I was contemplating a new spoiler, but nothing rice. Can't really find anything I like that is not rice though.

Came across this:



I like the spoiler. It is not too overwhelming and fits well on the car. I am not sure about the lines though. Can anyone photoshop a side-by side of this and a stock SE spoiler?

Thanks

Not sure. I've seen pictures like this white max before. It's just different enough to be interesting, but not so much to be rice, which I think is what you're going for.

It's probably easier to start with a flat trunk lid, than it would be to swap one on a SE. You're going to have to fill and paint the bolt holes, right? Particularly the center post, which isn't on the G spoiler.

Got any shots from other angles? Something looks a bit off (to me), but it could just be the angle.

Me rikey G35 spoiler... Looks good

Although I do, as uv KoRn mentioned, like the stock spoiler on the max.

If you're just going to be different though, do it up, because it does look good.

I've seen other pics of that car floating around the org. I'm not sure where they are at this point. But that G spoiler with the full ground-effects kit makes the car look very WRX-esque from the side.

Go to Google Images and search "G35 Spoiler".

Chernmax has a G-spoiler on his 6th gen:

I think it looks really nice. Not ricey, yet somewhat original. I'd say go for it.
