Rear Spoilers

I've done the search and read numerous threads/post with regards to the aftermarket (non-oem) spoilers. A lot of those with the e-bay and other aftermarkets seem to be pleased with the spoliers that they received, didn't see any complaints on color match. But if some of you have had these long term (like over a year or more) are you still happy with the quality? Paint still good? are they warping, cracking? Really interested in hearing from those with the Winter Frost color, how did it match when you received it.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but didn't want to start another. Anybody but from this company? $115 shipped, painted with hardware seems pretty good

Since nobody responded I went ahead and ordered one from the Spoiler & Wing King which is the same company you linked with Amazon. My total price with shipping was $113.31

Dont know about those wings. I ordered mine from Stillens website and had it prepped and painted at the body shop. Still looks great.

I bought mine from these guys:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301-PAINTED-NISSAN-MAXIMA-FACTORY-STYLE-SPOILER-2009-2010-2011-2012-2013-/151058231695?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMaxima&hash=item232bc5b18f
Quality of the spoiler and paint/clear was excellent and couldn't beat that price for shipping to Hawaii. The LED brake light bar that came with it was of cheap construction. Not really complaining, but it felt pretty fragile. Does the job though.

I'd be more concerned about the installation, unlike past spoilers I have had there is no pass through for water to drain as the entire spoiler mounts flush, a job that leaks even a tiny bit of moisture onto a scratched surface under the spoiler could cause some major corrosion that won't show up until it's bad

That's my concern. My Max didn't come with a spoiler and I want to get one however I am nervous about drilling holes into the trunk and being susceptible to rust. How can that be avoided?

Some type of rust proof paint or touch up paint around the drilled hole, will help not sure long term. I've been debating if I want to install it myself or have a shop do it

No idea, that's why I bought my car with a factory installed spoiler
