Ok, another minor body mod added today! I picked up my trunk lip spoiler from the body shop today and it looks great. They were kind enough to put it on for me even. It's nice and subtle, and IMO looks better than the spoiler Infiniti offers. To say the least, I'm VERY pleased.

Best of all, it didn't cost all that much. $65 shipped for the spoiler and $63 for the painting (and they installed it - w00t).

Take a look at my homepage to see pics and read more:

And of course, a teaser pic:

The spoiler looks very nice. Is this a universal style spoiler or is it actually for an M3?

Thanks! It's actually made for the A33, but modeled after the ones found on M3's and M5's.

welcomt to NICO bro, i hope u find everyon here very helpful and atleast somewhat informatvie ;), i notive you're questoining if that fits the o3 altima, i was thinking the same thing, im assuming you drive an altima? you should check that sectoin of the boards, there not many people in there, so we need to get the ball rolling. Also post pics of your car in our readers ride section for everyone to see. Is your altima stock or do u have mods planned?

Thanks for the greeting. My Altima is only a couple of weeks old, so I haven't done much to it. I am looking for stuff that is not on every other car. I just added the Grille-Tech grill and had my windows tinted so far. I have a few questions about my tint job. Do you know what's the correct forum to ask them in? TIA

MetaOrbit, the spoiler looks great! My 2000 I30t has the factory spoiler on it. I like it a lot. That M3 lip spoiler looks like the 350Z spoilers, and the mew Maxima spoilers. That is cool!

We have very similar tastes, I think. My I3ot is black, with black leather. I bought the sport touring package, which had the side sill extensions, xenon lights, CD cahnger, heated seats and mirrors, and the factory rear spoiler. It came with the rear stabilizer bar, and a stiffer strut package.

I like your front chin spoiler, too. I guess, if I put one on my car, I would be just copying you.

I put the 2002 Chrome wheels on the car, and am working on a custom mesh grille, like on the supercharged Jags. I wanted to get the I35 grille, but my wife dosen't like the horizontal bars. She likes the vertical bars. When I upgrade her to the G35 coupe, I get to play with the I30t. Right now, I am "playing" with the Q.

One of these days, I will put my cars in the member's ride section.

Thanks again Jeff. I'm jealous of your two Infinitis. I've always admired the Q.

Sounds like our I's would be pretty similar - especially if you got the front lip. Kalbundy on maxima.org has an I30t pretty much identical to yours. He got the front lip after I got it and put an I35 grill on his after a minor front end collision. You should look up some of his pictures there though - he pioneered opening up the I30t/I35 headlights and removing the orange plastic piece inside to get completely clear headlights.

I'd keep working on that mesh grill though. If you could get it to closely mirror that of those supercharged Jags it would look sweet..

Who makes that M3 spoiler for the A33? Is there an A32 model? ^_^
