Has anyone put a m3 lip spoiler on their ride. I have seen them on ebay for ultra cheap. Not sure if they are cr*p or what. But instead of the normal spoiler i thought the m3 lip would give it a european feel to it. Any comments?

i wouldnt buy anything that doesnt show it installed on an actual maxima. and why is that called an "m3 spoiler"? a lot of cars have lip spoilers like that.

 

PROVIDES DOWN FORCE AT THE HIGH SPEED TO ENHANCE STABILITY

 

I don't think it will look very good on our cars, because of the way the trunk starts to slope down before the dropoff...on those cars (TL and 3) the trunk has a sharp edge, so it looks better than it would on ours...

^^and what are you talking about? that thing would provide some MAD downforce for all those 200 mph runs we do in our FWD family sedans.

 

<---- installing a spoiler on the hood of the car...to keep the drive wheels planted to the ground at high speeds

 

I like the factory spoiler much better than the lip spoiler.

 

first of all that is MADE for a maxima. if you can find one that is made for a maxima i'd say get it because i think if you dont have a stock spoiler the m3 lip would look nice on there.

 

i sold one to a guy on here but i guess he never got around to it...that was about 4 months ago

 

one day i was wondering that too, and i remember i saw a thread a year ago, some one with these went to the Esso touchless car wash and the spoiler fly right off.... not to mention the high speed thing... i want a pic on our cars, but cant find one. if it looks good then i think i'll buy it and get a body shop to mold it in then paint it so it can look like one piece with the trunk...
just cant find any pic with this thing.../.\

 

Be a leader...... buy it, try it, post up pics.

 

Absound, Lala and Bus, i did see a black max on this site. Think it was a 99 though,. but it didnt look bad. It wasnt in your face like the factory wing but it gave it a euro look. Almost like a Audi. I think it would look very good. I will search today and post the pic, and then then let the comments come. I think the negative posts are due to guys that cnat change to the lip spoiler cause their would bwe holes in the trunk from the factory spoiler. hahahaah

 

ok i know i found a 99 on here with it but i found a site with a i35 that has the spoiler. Somewhat looks like the max.

^ kinda flows,.. I still like the stock spoiler 10x better

 

I have one but im a 95..

 

that lip spoiler is practically invisible. Don't waste your money. I mean if you get more than 20 feet away from the car you wont be able to see it, especially if your paint is black.

 

Thats the max i was referring to . Sorry, thought it was a 99. GTR, od you like the wing. When your next to or a ways away how does it make the car look? I think it looks pretty good. Also where did you get it from. Do you have the site or whatever?

 

Here' s a few pics of my ride with it on.

LUCKYMAX, where did u buy it? Did you paint it? How is it holding up?
I heard they don't hold at all since they go on the curve instead of a straight edge.

 

that doesnt look right with the rounded edge of the trunk lid.

 

looks different..... If you like it.. go for it.........

 

love the murdered look ^^^

 

eck! to each their own i guess

 

Lucky,
i like it. CKOt asked how it is holding up and such. How is it? Do yu have the website or place or where you bought it?
Me likee

 

Yea, I like the wing it gives a clean look with a little edge to it. You notice the lip from a ways back and you can see it through the rear view mirror. I got the lip from Paradox-systems, they have it for a good price.

 

I think it looks good on the I35 and the 4th gens, but on the 5th gens I wouldn't put it on. The rear end is a little too rounded for the lip IMO. Plus, if it's not super flexible (like the Paradox spoilers as I unfortunately found out) it will resist the curvature and pull itself off the trunk (while trying to straighten itself back out)

I now have a flat-black, basically rubber, lip spoiler I bought off of eBay that is extremely flexible mounted on my trunk lid. No problems with that one coming off.

 

doesnt look that good on the 5th gen. it looks really like on the 4th

 

looks ok, I don't mind it. Provides NO stability value at all, even if you were going 300miles an hour. The way air flows over a car like ours, the spoiler would have to be at least a foot off the trunk to be of any functionality.

Looks kinda like the lip on the 07 max

 

im not looking for Function. The stock spoiler offers no function. only a Nascar type spoiler or Cobra R spoiler would give a noticealbe feel in downforce on the rear. Maybe i should try a Cobra R type wing. What do you think a spoiler 1 1/2 feet off the trunk. Would it still have the racey look. i think it might,. hahahahah
But i dont knw i kinda like the m3 lip spoiler on it. Different. No one around where i am has any creativity and this would be unique look.

 

I wish there was a lip looking more like a little spoiler
Something like this would look hot on maxima http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums...showtopic=2332
