Paint it body color. Get a half size one, doesn't take away from the rest of the car.

I think it's a nice addition. Mine is not painted. Remember to use 3M double-sided exterior tape.

I think that the sarona rear window spoiler looks the best. the other ones id say are too cheap looking. the sarona spoiler looks more like the BMW/Audi/lexus rear window spoilers. But i wouldnt pay $300.00 for it.

I wanted to get one, but everyone told me that i'll loose it on the highway the way I drive. I just am not convinced that the 3M tape will hold it in place. I am not willing to spend all that money and just end up having it fly off the car.

Full sized on my 2k2.

If you use the red-backed 3M tape, there's no way it will come off. That stuff has a very aggressive adhesive.

Will the 3M tape affect tint? I mean if the adhesive is so strong, can it pull off tint on the rear windshield if the spoiler was to be removed?

Tint is on the inside of the window.

yeah, ive hit about 110 and crusin everywhere on the hwy about 80, i used the tape that came on the spoiler and it hasnt budged an inch, your not gona loose it man. the way it is angled, the faster you go, the more pressure the wind is pushing down on it, IMO its on there tighter while moveing than it would be standing still. i got mine at paradox_systems aswell for $100, half size, cant go wrong.

The stillen kit is not functional. Rims are not functional, you can easily stick with stock. Maxima.org stickers are not functional. That means most you ****** out there are ricers. Getting asthetic mods does not constitute you to be an enthusiast nor does it constitute you being a ricer. How you put the mods together will prevail your place in this industry.

dnt worry guys, people like this just remind us that there are dushbags out there, so back to the thread, i think that if you have a dark colored car or tints that painting it would be a waste of money, but if you have a light colored car, i think the paint makes it stick out more. check out 2k3max2nv, he has the painted half size rear window spoiler and he has a light car, and it makes it look sick.

Not really. , but you can't expect me to buy what you're saying. There's no sense in it. If it's not your cup of tea then that's fine, but I don't see how you can classify this as ricey, it's just an apperance factor. If I put GT-R badges all over my ride, then ya...pretty

Maybe you guys should reread my post and be mindful of its context:

'I'm' refers to me and when used in conjunction with 'it's what separates legit enthusiasts from ricers', establishes the nature of my opinion

Whether or not there's agreement with my opinion is quite immaterial to me.
