Keeping myself busy during quarantine

Swapped out my spoiler and grill and added an IKON front lip. I have some gloss black vinyl wrap on order to black out the Chrome piece on the trunk and possibly the door handles, might do the white part of the roof above the windows as well. After that my only plans are to swap out the tail lights with the 19-20 version, they are ungodly expensive though.

Thanks. I'd definitely like to lower it but this is my "winter beater/family truckster" so I'm trying to keep my modifications cosmetic only, plus our roads are notorious for potholes so the more ground clearance the better.

Let us know how blacking out the door handles go. I bought wrap to delete all the chrome haven't done it yet. Your car looks good.

I am going to vinyl wrap my roof also (white 2016 maxima), I also am going to install rear spoiler exactly like your's, how did you install the spoiler,
did you screw it in or use double back tape?, I am going to black out lower rear end facia as well. Ken

I bought it on ebay, it was around $130 I believe. I’ve heard some people complain about the fitment but mine fit perfect and was a piece of cake to install.

I was able to use the existing screw holes from my factory spoiler although I did have to drill out the outer 2 holes a tad bigger since they were off by about 1/4”. You will need to use some slightly longer screws and washers for those holes if you go that route. You might just be able to get away with using tape on the outer edges instead.
