After searching for a rear spoiler that was a little more exciting than the plain lip spoiler, and a little more exciting than the G35 spoiler or Accord spoiler, I think I finally found the perfect spoiler for hte 6th gen Max. Its from a 2002+ Subaru Impreza WRX. Its the lower rear spoiler, not the big giant one that comes on the WRX STi.

Dealer wants about $550 for it. You can find replicas for under $200 online. It has a cleared 3rd brake like built in, and it looks waaaaay better in person.

I went to the Subaru dealer in Costa Mesa becuase they had one in stock and I took pics of the spoiler sitting on the trunk. There are bolts sticking out of the spoiler, so in the pics, the spoiler sits about 2 inches higher than when its bolted down. This thing looks really really sharp. ****No, Im not putting a yellow spoiler on. It just happened to be yellow****

In fact, when I was test fitting it, everyone inside came out to see what I was doing and ALL agreed that the spoiler looks like it was made for the car. Everyone was amazed. The angles of the spoiler seem to flow with the MAxima's lines.
Anyway, here are a bunch of pics. Let me know what you think:



Here is a close up. Not how the angle of the outside of spoiler exactly matches the line of the trunk of the MAxima:



Here is a picture of a black Subaru WRX parked next to me with the spoiler on the back of his car. Note how mine looks rather plain without a spoiler now:

 

Here are more pictures of the WRX spoiler on my Maxima:

 

Buy it and post pics. I am not sure if I like it... good try. I love your rims and tails... put it on the Max... I was thinking of putting a different spoiler on my 6th gen.

 

Looks just like the G35 spoiler to me.

 

The G spoiler is actually more mild than this. Its lower, thinner, and not as interesting. its particularly noticable in person. They are clearly different-looking spoilers.

 

the g spoiler isen't as wide and has more of an angle due to the fact that the g35 trunk has more of an angle than a wrx

 

Right, the G spoiler is about 2 inches narrower, about an inch lower to the trunk, about half as thin, and it is about 1-2 inches less in depth. this one has some interesting angles that arent really captured on film.

 

but it's not black


j/k, personally, I would like something with sharper lines wiht the mounts as wide as the trunk lid. At least its the same width as the rear. that one looks a little "bubbly, soft" Not bad, but not my ride either. Happy you found your spoiler. I suppose it would grow on me.

get someone to photoshop it on w/o the oem spoiler. I bet that would look even better.

what's the section missing in the middle? were leds there or is it just a section cut out?

 

oh man...don't tell me you're guna buy that...your car looks soooooooo clean and sexy now..you really wana ruin it with that rice..think twice bro...imo it looks terrible...but whtever you want its your car

 

The brake light on the spoiler has clear lenses, so it looks missing on a yellow spoiler. Also, remember, its sticking up quite a bit cuz of the bolts under the spoiler. Wait til its black and mounted. I know it will be awesome.

If someone can PHOTOSHOP it black and lower it on to the trunk and erase my son from the picture, that would be cool. Sorry Matt (my son!!!)

 

I was checking out a 5th gen Max and was thinking how 90's the rear spoiler was, really it does nothing but hold a brake light. I'm relieved this trend has faded, much like the clear taillights. Your car looks great don't go to far.........

 

Deus you are truly the 6th Gen mod king.


Go for it. I'd love to see the pics. I wish I was as brave as you with my ride.

 

The stock one looks better. Nice rims tho.

 

Not sure if i like it, probably need to see it in person. i think it sits to high, but if you like it then thats all that matters.

 

looks like the fitment is perfect, not really my style though

 

go for it man.....should look nice....be orginal I have a Mitsubishi Galant GTZ spoiler on my Max...

 

Dues,

I like it man. IMO, it would look REALLY good if you took off the oem.

With both, not good. Too much with that wing.

$550? Kind of steep, check around....

 

I know I have seen it for $150 or so online. I just wanted to use the dealer's for a guinea pig

 

I think it's original to install a different style of spoiler on your Maxima. It looks pretty good so far.

 

Looks good to me.

How did you tint your tail lights? I like that.

 

looks nice. now i wanna see that thing in black, hurry up and get it painted.

 

JPBOSS: I used model tint from a hobby store. Look up the thread on tinted tails. U sand, tint and then clearcoat. A bit of work but well worth it.

 

I like the tinted tail lights but most likely I would get a ticket here in Brooklyn, NY. The spoiler looks OK. The main thing is if you like it, it will be on your ride. Later Warren

 

I think it might look good when done. One of the best I have seen yet for the Max. But I generally agree with some others that when you add a wing, you should think about getting rid of the lip spoiler.

Can't wait to see it done.

Thanks for sharing.....

 

Leave it yellow!
I can't believe you get away with no plate like that...

 

Trying to get featured on Anti-rice.com?

 

Why does the "Subaru" dealer have an "Infiniti" poster in the window in your second pic ?

BTW.....The spoiler looks good.

 

Dues, It will look great.... Remove the lip spoiler though.

Are you going to have the cleared 3rd brake as it is? I think it may not go with your tinted brake lights... what do you say?

 

So...Dues, did you buy it? Is it at the paint shop now???

TAKE OFF THE OEM!!

 

Deus...here's a sample...unfortunately couldn't 'remove' the OEM..will have to look for some black max without one to do it properly



Sparq

 

Nevermind....I was able to remove it after all



Sparq

 

Nice work Sparq!

Not sure if I like it or not. Hmmm..... it IS original, and not "boring" as Dues says....

 

I plan on tinting the cleared brake light dark to match everything. I thikn it will look better when installed flush with the trunk. Trust me, it looks better in person, especially the front part of the spoiler.

Thanks to sparq for the very nice photoshop work. Thats why I love this site. I also appreciate everyone's opinion, whether good, indifferent or bad. I am sourcing a spoiler thats much more reasonably priced than the $550 the dealer wanted for that spoiler. I also located a carbon fiber one nearby me. It was offered on ebay but no one bought it. If I get that one, should I leave it unpainted to see the carbon fiber, or paint it. Here is the closed ebay auction for that spoiler. Tell me what you think. Keep the opinions rolling.

This is a little OT, but that person holding the spoiler in place is someone else, not you deus..right? Just cuz he looks like he isnt old enough to drive, much less own the car

 

no thats not DEUS...

 

not bad....

 

looks good to me

 

I would not paint the spoiler. Carbon Fiber is made to be seen. Is this what you are finally going to get? If it is post pictures. I would interested to see what is looks like on the Max. I already have Carbon Fiber pillar inlays. Later Warren

 

oohhh, D, get the carbon wing. that'll get a lot of attn. and if you don't like that, then paint it a color (well technically your choice isn't a color).

if not for the carbon pattern, think about the CF primary function: weight. you slap the oem one on and your family will have oversized bicepts.

i figured you'd tint the brake light, so didn't bother suggesting it.

 

I was concerned the CF spoiler would look more slapped on rather than blending in with the car. I sent an email to the seller of the CF spoiler. Ill see what happens. If no response then I think Ill go for the OEM one and paint it black. The person holding the spoiler is my middle child, Matthew, aged 16.
