Rear spoilers for the coupe

by **mcheddadi** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 2:31 pm

This is a thread to help you guys decide on a spoiler, if you want one. I've put all the known spoilers for the altima coupe.

Also, I would like your opinions on what type of rear spoiler I should get.
(I'm leaning toward the 1st one)

1st one:

2nd one (the imitation G35 one):

3rd one (stillen's one):

4th one (official nissan one):

5th one (the real g35 one):

6th one (the very first one that came out [ebay one] ):

I think that's all the spoilers there are.

What a great idea to post all the pics, makes it much easier to make a decision.

I went with the Stillen because I think "less is more" when it comes to the coupe although I also like #4 as it trails back a bit more.

by **2brian0** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 7:15 pm

First time I've seen all the pics lined up like that, which makes comparison a lot easier. Nice post! I think I'm still diggin' mine the most but a few of those are a VERY close second.

by **BlackNWhite** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 9:15 pm

Stillen all the way.

I also like the "Imitation G35" one... but since the car is already clowned as a 'poor man's G35'... I'll go with the Stillen.

Thank you for the great post.

I am leaning toward the original Nissan spoiler and the real G35's.

I went with the Stillen cause it also has that rear window spoiler that make the rear window appear much smaller. I like the look.....

Stillen!

I accually went w/ the stillin roof spoiler and kept the trunk empty/ I love the rear lines of the car that i didnt want to mess w/ it

by **Taxman07** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 3:09 pm

Brian, Nice work with your coupe. I like what you did with it. How do you feel about powdercoating the emblems a different color. I'm badgeless now but am thinking about going with a color scheme via pin-striping and colored badges.

by **2brian0** » Sat Dec 22, 2007 3:57 pm

Not sure about that, I really like the blackout look. If I only could have found some all black rims that I liked in the right offset, I wouldn't have the chrome rims. I did think about painting the "Nissan" inside my front emblem since it's now all black...

by **Blue Batmobile** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 12:44 am

Stillen one for sure.

Because the stock rear end on the AC is so pronounced - I believe any spoiler should follow the philosophy of "less is more" , in other words

STILLEN!

STILLEN!

Or none at all... the Stillen roof spoiler does the trick; noting on the deck for me.
EDIT: anyway, great post!

great way to compare all of the spoilers

by **dangeris** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 12:16 pm

Man, the pictures of spoiler #5 looks very familiar! That's a darn good looking coupe!

by **Bruce MacDonald** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 1:07 pm

Can anyone shed some light on the "official" nissan spoiler? Is this something that nissan is now offering as an option or can you order this from the parts dept?
Thanks, Bruce.

by **SHIFT_2.5S** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 2:13 pm

At the end of the day, it's a personal choice.

For me, I like Stillen's the most. It seems to fit the best and appears to be the most subtle.

by **dangeris** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 12:45 am

None of these spoilers are an option from Nissan. All of these are aftermarket spoilers. But as Shift_2.5s pointed out, it's all about personal preference. personally, I love the G35 spoiler. IMO, it accentuates the coupes lines. There are those that don't agree with my opinion and would rather go with a more subtle look such as the stillen. Your choice Bruce

I have a white 3.5 with the G35 spoiler and I love how it looks. I lilke some of the others too, but I like the G35 looking one the best.

by **pdrumans** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 5:35 am

By the way, if that blue one with the G35 spolier is from Courtesy Nissan in Tampa, FL, that one was there when I bought my white one, but I liked the white one better only because I just wanted the stock tires and wheels, not the bigger ones the blue one had on it.

by **gachrist_3.5** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 7:32 am

Mr. Music and BigDan

Both of you mentioned just the Stillen roof spoiler with no deck spoiler. That's the setup that I'm interested in. Do either of you have any pics of the spoiler on your car?? It would be awesome if I could see what one looks like without a spoiler.

Thanks!!

Ooooohhhh,...You need to post a pic of your white 3.5 with the G35 spoiler! I bet it looks great! Especially if the windows were tinted!

The 4th one is the official one from Nissan. It's not available in the USA yet, but in Canada it's available.

http://nissan.ca/en/vehicles/s...erior

it's listed as an accessory.

If anyone has the stillen roof spoiler, some pics would be nice!

by **08altima35** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 7:01 pm

I've seen some at the dealership with the #4 spoiler mounted on them and they weren't used. I'm not saying they were Nissan Factory Spoilers, but they are an option offered at Bankston Nissan Lewisville, TX

No pictures, but I hope to be ordering the roof spoiler soon, and I will post pictures of it when I get it...

I guess I should have specified...none of these spoilers are factory from Nissan within the USA.

I just built my AC on that website and for a 3.5SE coupe with CVT, Premium and tech package, the total bill was $42k canadian...

Boy, I felt like I stole it for the price I got it..$28,9K USD

I need to take some pics. Mine is a White with Black interior, tinted windows and the only option that I do not have (that I wish I did have) is the tech package.

Dangeris, where did you get yours? Please provide the part# as well.
Thank you.

by **Oside3.5** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 8:31 am

Hi Guys, just bought a 08 coupe on Sat, looking to add that G35 wing as well. Any info/links on where I can get my hands on one would be much appreciated.
Oh, and if you don't mind, how much you paid for it as well. Thanks and Happy New Years!

Mine was already on the car when I saw it at the dealership. I think they charged $400 on the sticker. Mine does not have the third light in the spoiler, however the spoiler sits low enough for the third light that is in the window to be fully viewed from behind.

What's sad is that if that price was quoted 7 or 8 years ago, then I would have chocked it up to the Canadian Loonie being worth less than an U.S. Dollar. However, since our economy is so in the toliet, that statement isn't true anymore. I guess they are just gouged with that price. Oh well, at least they have free health care. Maybe since they don't have to worry about paying the premiums on health insurance, they can afford the extra 14k on the car, lol.

dangeris, can you help dodsgift out? you have the g35 spoiler on your coupe

by **Shift_Altima** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 6:07 pm

I want something more agressive. There was a photoshop of the altima with the wide body kit. It was a reddish color. The spoiler on that was similar to the last one the 'ebay' one but the ends bent down and kind of matched the nice curves of the back. That's sexy if it ever came out. Or if a wide body kit did

one can only hope

I have that spoiler and it is the same style as the G35 spoiler, but not as wide. The rear deck of the Altima Coupe is a little narrower than the G35 deck and the spoiler is a couple of inches shorter in length. My neighbor has a 2004 G35 Coupe and I can visually see that mine is not as wide across. I would say about 5 inches maybe, but I never measured.

by **D-Roll** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 5:27 am

I'd take the imitation G spoiler

by **Malves85** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:20 pm

I really like the Stillen one. Thinking about getting the spoiler along with the roof wing.
Just have to say the sixth spoiler (Ebay one) looks a lot like the spoiler i have on my little chevy cobalt.

by **animex** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:13 pm

Yup I agree; the Stillen is the best looking one... lets organize a group buy as per the other thread via Kyle :D

by **mcheddadi** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 3:01 pm

What do you guys think about a spoiler like this for the coupe.

I think it flows with the rear angled taillights and the trunk since the spoiler got a single "pillar" to attach to the trunk.
