Hello everyone. Have not posted in a while. This morning tried to install the 07spoiler on my Max and things didn't turn out as clean and easy as I was hoping for. When the 04-06 lip is removed there are FIVE holes, not THREE as noted on some threads I have read. Secondly, it is a pain in the behind to remove the adhesive holding the lip (even after removing the three bolts). The good thing is I was already expecting to have a Body Shop fill the holes and re-paint the trunk, so this morning I dropped the car off and will have it back by Wednesday. Hope this helps if any1 else was thinking of doing this mod. Cost of the project: $110 painted spoiler from Ebay -- $530. for the body shop to do the trunk, install the spoiler and connect the brake light.

 

Ouch that doesnt look bro!!! Post pics up when its finished!

 

ouch that sucks..can you post some more pics of your rims? thanks

 

Blackmax, these are some pics taken while ago.... I am hoping the 07 spoiler will add some extra umphhhhhh to the ride

 

thanks, i swear i've seen these on a maxima but not chrome, just cant figure it out for sure..what are they called?

 

nice ride dude

 

I like the red

 

wait no final pics?!

 

btw, i hate you florida people... your tints look amazing but nj cops can be ****s over tints.

 

So, it ended up being $640 for everything? thats steep

 

You should post more often, this is a well documented problem that has been posted many time before...

The car looks hot though...

 

Ankit, car still in the shop. Picking it up tomorrow 5:30pm. No pics until the weekend though

 

Thanks Chernmax. Your ride looks hot as well. Is your car the most pimped out car in this org?
By the way, excellent choice of color

 

Well, I could have gone to Maaco and paid 200 bucks for a paint job that would have been a

 

Dude, it looks great just like that. I say leave it and save your $$.

 

My SL does not have any type of spoiler. Do you guys think I should go with the 04 Lips or the 07 spoiler, or just leave as is?

 

How hard would it be to just install the 07 spoiler if there was no original factory lip on my MaX?

 

Its up to you but have them take off the Maxima and 3.5 emblems off.

 

Haha Ramberg you a fan of the "de-badged" look?

 

Well you wouldn't have to pay a body shop to fill the holes & paint the trunk

 

Hands down go with an 07 spoiler!!!

 

Plus ONE

 

Yes I am, Its a cleaner look.

 

Ramberg, I like your wheels, what are those??

 

Agree with Warren on the de-badged clean look

 

where you on Atlantic av this morning ?

 

No my car is parked for the week. I just put over 3 thousand miles on the car with my trip to South Florida. Its getting a deserved rest.

 

Zen rims. Picked them up in Queens, NY. 750 dollars. took off the old, reused tires, balancing, remounting and free wheel locks.

 

Could you leave the lip and put the new spoiler on?

WOW!! That look horrible x 2!! I'm glad I got an 04 without that.... Putting on my spoiler should be effortless... hopefully I dont get jinxed.... lol

 

Hey Ramberg, is that pic with brand new zinc coated rotors or did you just clean them. If you just cleaned them please let us know how ya did it. Mine could use some brake rotor cleaning tips!

 

Those must be new rotors w/ fresh zinc plating, you can see the original rotor scoring (near perpendicular marks) when the rotors are machined by the manufacturer!

 

I'm almost 100% certain you are correct as well S_Klass but was holding out hope that ol' Ramberg had some miracle cleaner trick up his sleeve.

 

I'm going to be putting the 2007 spoiler on my 2007 that has no spoiler now. My question is, when I remove the third brake light from the rear window, will I need to recover the rear deck? I.E., will it show holes or anything?

 

Lucky my 08 came with the spoiler and how much were the rotors?

 

I think there's a block plate already made for the hole you can buy. I just left my third brake light in!

PS this thread is almost 4 years old!!!

 

My first post here....I'm looking to purchase and install a 2007 spoiler on my red 2004 SL. Looking at ebay for the spoiler but wonder if the following ebay listings are pretty much the same spoiler just different costs and different vendors:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_5568wt_958

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_1060wt_732

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_1179wt_699

Any tips for ordering a spoiler off of ebay? Particular ebayers that are trustworthy?

Thanks for all help!

 

Anyone you pick is fine, I bought one a month ago on ebay for $100.
all the sellers are trustworthy, I'm yet to get one that is not.

 

They're probably all about the same. I would probably buy the last one you have listed. It's in the middle of the 3 price wise, but the seller has the best feedback of the 3. I may buy one of these myself!

Has anyone put one of these on an 04-06 SE and left the factory lip installed? If so, I'd like to see pics! I would like to put one on but don't want to take my lip off and deal with the adhesive and the holes that would be left behind. Please post pics if you've done this!

 

Thank you!!

I want to do the spoiler and change the grille.

Got a set of 18" TSW Vairanos on their way.

I think those small upgrades go a long way to improving the look of a Max.
