Do you have a pick of the roof wing? How much was yours? How is the install done? And how good is the color match?
Thx and sorry for all the q's

Very easy to install and color match is perfect. For $88 shipped on ebay you cant go wrong.

I also have the one from Shadow.Speed on Ebay. I believe quite a few people actually have his version of the roof spoiler for their Maxima. Like Ghostz said, for $88 shipped already color matched, you really can't beat it.





From the CPT meet in MD last weekend


You can check it out on a dark slate and an ocean grey over here as well: Roof Spoiler Pics

yeah, $88 bones from shadow speed. install was peel and stick. if you cant install your an idiot! the paint match was perfect. the spoiler is top notch. i would not spend additional dollars on the stillen one.

yea my paint match was perfect too. i read about people having their roof wings ripped off (especially up there in NY) so I figured I'd cry less if I lost my eBay noodle as opposed to the Stillen one. plus it looks great

Should be on the sticker when you open the drivers side door not on the door but on that sill part of the car you'll see it it's white it will also tell you the build date...

Sounds good thanks... yeah I'm up here in West Chester, PA like 45 mins outside of Philly so agreed if it's going to get ripped off by driving rather have an $88 thing do this then over $100

Guys,

Do you think I should get a white one or a black one ?
I'll like to powder coat my roaf in some months.
Does anyone know whats the code for the black one ?
Or do I should just get it in white and then once I decided to powder coated in black have the guy paint in black, too ?

Thanks

Clean the top of the rear window with some alcohol. Best to mount it with the sun out, therefore the rear window is warmed up a bit so it will stick good right away.

I mounted mine by myself in a few minutes.

The black color code is KH3, but if you car is white I suggest getting a white spoiler unless you have the glass roof, then I would get a black one.

You could get the white one and a $6 can of Plast-dip and try it as black. Plasti-dip sells a gloss spray on their site as well, so you can try matte black, then glossy black, and then if you hate it, peel it all off and stick with white. Just don't actually stick it on the roof until you've decided.

Speaking of which, the only Ebay seller I see is some guy named Mustang something, and his color codes don't include the Arctic White.

Can anyone point me to the right listing from the guy everyone else has bought from?

This is the link you need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-NISS...item4164f44ca9

He even includes a list of the color codes you can request. Even if it isn't listed you can put it in the note when buying and they will do it I believe.

If you know for sure that you are going to black your roof, then I would get a black spoiler. Yes, the code is KH3 for the gloss black.

I might would vinyl (3M black gloss) the roof instead of powder coating though. Just in case you ever wanted to sell the car or trade it back in.

I just bought mine from happybuyitnow on eBay haven't gotten it yet and I was wondering what people thought who bought from him? He said his was 3 coats of paint and clearcoat vs 2 coats with shadow speed when he responded back to my questions.

Yea I saw that. Looks like he took a vacation or something. Said orders will resume on the 23rd or something. Yes, people have bought from both happybuyitnow and shadow.speed with no complaints. As far as the paint, I can't speak on that since I never asked or have both to compare. All I can say is I have the shadow.speed one and I can name about 5 others with it and we are all happy with it.
