I've decided that my next mod will be a spoiler. I really like the G35 style with a brake light integrated. I've seen the spolier solutions ones on eBay for a while, but I just looked again and I saw these other ones that are quite a bit less money. They're made of ABS instead of fiberglass. I've read some people say that the fibergalss is heavy. My biggest concerns are fitment and how well the paint matches. Has anyone bought from this guy?

Let me know what you think. Thanks

Glad to see no one is actually answering your question.

I thought about ordering this one, but they were out of stock whenI tried, so I bought the spoiler solutions one.

The fiberglass is a bit heavy....not too bad, but noticeable.My question would be whether or not the ABS will hold up betterunder stress i.e. closing the trunk hard or lifting by the spoiler.Lifting by the spoiler is a bad idea anyway.

I say the lighter the better. As for the paint match? Well if it don't matchit's not that much to get it done right. But if they are using the rightpaint and using the Nissan paint code...I doubt it will be an issue.

I'd spring for it if your set on a G35 style.

So I ordered this on Friday afternoon from the Auto Spoilers and More store. I had replies to two emails and a UPS shipping confirmation in under two hours. I find that impressive. I should have the spoiler this week. Hoping it's good quality. I'll post pics before and after.

I have the same spoiler on my car except for the integrated brake light and it looks good. I personally do not like the A/C w/o a spoiler. To answer a previous question, it is the same style as the G35 spoiler, but is a different size. The horizontal length of the rear deck lid is smaller on the A/C than it is on the G35.

As a follow-up, I received the spoiler in good condition. The colour was very close, and finish was good. A nice light spoiler also; didn't notice any difference in the weight of the trunk lid. Install went fairly easily, but it was a bit of a pain as the bolt holes ended up on the angled portions of the trunk lid ribs requiring some trimming in order to get the heads through. All in all, no big deal though.

Still lovin the look, regardless of what seems to be the majority opinion on these type of spoilers.

I have the spoiler solutions one and IMHO, I think it looks great and accentuates the lines of the coupe. There are those out there that doesn't think so but in the end, it's our cars and we mod them to what WE like.
