Installed a spoiler on my GXE
I just wanted to share the joy with you all. Thanks in part to KPazzo for selling me the spoiler, had that put on. There was an issue where shop tech couldn't figure out where to tap the wire for LEDs, so he went all the way to the rear stop signal. There's a bunch of wires under the trunk lid, I thought GXEs are prewired, but after checking out, tech said no.

NOWAY, GXEs do not come with a factory installed spoiler, but the dealer installed the factory-made spoiler for you.

spoiler
I have the gxe, and simply tapped into the wires under the trunk lid for the positive and negative, it makes our rides look so much different doesnt it? I loved teh way my max looked after the spoiler was slapped on... took me 2 hours to get it done right... I didnt want to mess up!!

I think I saw a GLE once that had a factory spoiler. I think it was listed on the factory sticker. It also had a black piece of plastic where the high mount stoplight (on the back parcel shelf) would have been.
y2kse: Was the spoiler listed on your factory sticker just like any other option?

GXEs do not, I repeat, do not come with spoiler and sunroof as a standrad option...unless you custom ordered your car from Nissan.

I'd be happy to prove this to you at your convenience. Send me your e-mail address and I'll gladly e-mail you a copy of the sticker on my wife's GXE!
I might also recommend in future that you ask questions rather than make statements. Cleaning egg off your face can be a real b!tch.

yeah do that: funlover2225@yahoo.com
GXE in its basic form does not come w/spoiler for 2000 model year, because mine didn't come. Not sure what other options on your car, but you really can't do much in the GXE trim, the choice is limited compared to SE trim.

thanks for email, but the way you scanned your sticker is that it doesn't show the right part of it. So far from what I can see, no mentioning of the sunroof and spoiler. If its standard equipment, it would be under Exterior features on the sticker. What year is your Max? Can you rescan your sticker and email again? thanx

I resent the right side of the sticker. That's the side that shows both the spoiler and the sunroof. Let me know if you don't receive it.

I know that Nissan changes it's bundle requirements all the time, but this is as authoritative as I can get...

y2kse you know you are right! I have read the description of standard equipment on carpoint and edmunds.com, and saw cars @ dealership,but this is the first time I see Nissan equip GXE with spoiler and sunroof. On the other hand, look at your MSRP dude. How much you paid for your ride?

I didn't think the spoiler or the sunroof were part of the c&c package, Jief. Otherwise they would have been itemized under the description of that package. On my wife's sticker, they were not so itemized.
