Uh, nothing I've noticed since taking it off. It does complement the look and I'll miss it, but oh well.

from what ive read, spoiler acts as a deflector to stop your residual spray from your tires from getting on your rear glass. (rainy wet road conditions) and "downforce" ?

I haven't driven in the rain so I can't comment on the spray deflection yet. Downforce? Pfft... like I said, I notice zero difference. But then again I'm also not actively looking, and also don't care too much of whatever minuscule changes the "spoiler" made.

So nothing NOTICEABLE enough? Like gaining 6hp from putting a NISMO sticker on your car?

No, nothing nearly as massive as that gain!

My question is: how do you plan to mount my spoiler on your door? Do you have the necessary holes?

lol, IDK I have an 03. Maybe I guess I didn't think this one through and through.

*goes back to ordering 3 NISMO stickers, that's the max I heard, before you slap on a GT-R emblem for 21.5hp minimum*

The year doesn't matter, it was a factory option. Here's a picture of the required holes:
