Spoilers are not Plug and Play. If you don't already have the electrical run from the factory you'll need to do that when you install. I had the dealer install as part of my deal and was able to get them to let me watch the install. Took a while and they had to disassemble a lot of the trunk to get it in.
I'd spend the money to have the dealer do it unless you have the know-how.

I installed the the SR style spoiler on our 17 S Max last night. After I removed the inner trunk lid liner I found a small brown plug with 2 wires (1-blue 1-grey) on the inside of the lid that is intended for the factory spoiler. I tested and confirmed before anything. Made the spoiler install a quick job. I purchased the spoiler off Amazon painted and ready to go for 109! Was very worried about the quality when i ordered because of the price. But I must say when it came in it I was very impressed. I would highly recommend Spoiler and Wing King on Amazon. Great quality and service. I called to ask about placement and they were very helpful! Hope this helps anyone with questions. And BTW I believe those are replacement torsion bars for the trunk lid to compensate for the spoiler weight. Mine didn't have that but I personally don't think it needs then. JMAC
I have a 2016 SV and my back windows are tinted dark and you can't see the center high mount light from the outside, so I just unplugged it. But, my sister just got a 2017 SV with the Dynamic Package that includes a factory installed spoiler, so her's has the cover plate instead.
Here's a pic showing part number 79966 4RA0B & A, but that part doesn't show up on the current Nissan factory parts website or reference diagrams, so I suspect it's a new process and you'd just have to try and get it through a dealer.

Awesome, thank you so much for this information. This is perfect.
The site courtesyparts.com, gives to me another part number when I search 79966 4RA0B:
.......COVER-REAR PARCEL SHELF - NISSAN (79966-1ET0A), no photo no diagram. It seems that the CHMSL cover plate is part of the whole cover rear parcel shelf....maybe i am wrong, because the price is $22.51......

Please note that the part number provided by Courtesy ending in 1ET0A is not for the Maxima, it is for the 370Z.

Thank you so much - had my dealer do the research on this - they ordered a tan one for me - took a month to arrive - had it installed today and it is PERFECT!! Thanks again for the part numbers!!
So our new 2017 Platinum did not come with a factory spoiler. We would like to add one and have our local dealer install it. Regarding the double brake light situation. If I purchase the cover for it as well with the spoiler. Does the cover just go over the top or do they need to actually remove the brake light piece then pop the cover on?
my 2016 S has the harness already. Look at my thread called, my attempt...
For pix of it.

I seen it. Excellent thanks! I came across the pdf instructions for the spoiler install. I have some reservations about my local dealer installing it and doing it properly. It seems quite involved and there is a part I don't like which is the very last/final step.
Take car to Nissan Dealer to have new torsion rods
installed (parts included in kit).
NOTE:
Special tool required for torsion rod replacement.
Does that mean even more money for the spoiler install or would that be included with the spoiler install? Short of watching them do it. I would have no idea if they actually done it or not.
