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.

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.

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.....

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.

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...

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.
