Remove rear spoiler from SE?

Remove rear spoiler from SE?
Hello all!
I'm considering getting a 2003 SE (previously had a 96 SE and now have a Lexus GS300), but I prefer the look of the car without the rear, trunk-mounted spoiler.
Is there anyway to remove the spoiler without causing too much of a mess?
Thanks for your help!

I think the I35t is much more expensive than a similarly equipped SE... correct me if i'm wrong.

if you're not into shifting yourself, then the I35 is a good buy. plus, Maximas look much much better with a spolier...I35s..well, they are good looking cars with or without..

I'm using carsdirect.com for pricing research, and there is a $2500 difference between SE and I35t.

Do you not like the stock spoiler, or just don't like any spoiler on there? If it's the latter, I wonder if there's any other spoilers that can utilize the existing factory holes?

Highly doubtful. The I35 is the real Maxima everywhere else in the world.

I don't think the I35 is going to be around much longer. It's not in the future car lineup. Plus infiniti is not talking about the I35 at all.

One way to get rid of the spoiler and not leave holes would be to order a whole new trunk lid for a GXE. This is obviously the most expensive route...unless the dealer will let you trade the SE lid.
BTW, either way you won't have a middle brake light then.

Just negotiate the car without a spoiler. They may think your crazy, but hey, if they get to keep their $499 spoiler, it's to their advantage....

I'd like to take mine off, too.
I need some paint work done to my trunk, thanks to some momo in a parking lot...so I was planning on the holes getting filled and painting the trunk.
They usually paint the whole body part anyway, right?

It is required by law to have a middle brake light. I would buy a GLE trunk lid, which has the third light on the lid, and have the dealer paint and install that.
