i recently purchased a 2008 Nissan Rogue SL in november. As of now, i am serious about doing a little bit of work to it. As i was reading the forum i noticed that it was possible to add a spoiler from the 2012 sv model and put it on the 2008 SL. I was wondering if its possible to install it yourself, or if you buy the piece online and pay the dealership to do it. Im putting it on this forum because i dont want to call my dealership and embarass myself. So if you guys can help me out that would be great thank you!

2012 model have a different hatch door and different spoiler. In order to get that spoiler you would have to replace lift gate which is not worth it in my opinion for the spoiler option only. You can get a painted spoiler off ebay or from dealership for your 2008 model and ask any collision shop to install it.

I am in CAnada but I really want to buy the U.S. version spoiler but as we all know there is that the spoilers from the two countries are different. what i want to know is, how much does the U.S. spoiler cover the third brakelight? also one more thing, do you know where your dealer get their spoiler? because here where i live it will cost me around $700 for the spoiler and install!! :bs: and also they said they never installed spoilers before, they didn't even know there was a spoiler for the early rogue models :wtf2: anyway looking forward for your answers and thanks in advance :D
Im in Vancouver and ordered a US spec OEM painted spoiler from LeeParts.com. The total was only $182 shipped to Blaine. I drove down and picked up the part, customs didn't even bother charging me duty or taxes (typical for something of this dollar amount). I had a local body shop install the spoiler for $160.

The edge of the spoiler curves down and covers part of the light if you are standing a cars length away or riding in a tall truck. The base of the spoiler (the part that touches the car) does not cover the light at all. Either way when a car driving behind you they will see the light.

i sell OEM nissan spoilers on ebay for the rogue. i have black & silver available. $44.99+15(ship).
these are 100% OEM Nissan spoilers- not knockoff's.

the only reason they are so cheap is because i dont have the install kit (nuts/bolts/templates). you can get the nuts & bolts at any hardware store for a couple cents.

do you think the dealership would be willing to install the spoiler and the illuminated kick plates? Obviously i would have to pay them but that not a problem for me. I just dont trust myself installing them myself haha

If not, you could try a local shop like Wilton Auto and Tire Center http://www.wiltonautoandtire.com/Wilton ... vices.html. They do cosmetic upgrades including running boards and HEI Lighting upgrades.

Illuminated kick plates?

I haven't driven my Rogue for several months but I don't think I have these. Is this something on the 2012 models? Do you have a picture?

It's a dealer only part IIRC. Per Nissanusa.com, it is like $148 before tax and installation. I found it there under owners, parts and accessories, rogue, interior....

They do look pretty cool though, I must admit. I don't know if they are $200 cool after tax and installation. If they were like $50 I would like em a lot more.

As I said in a previous post...when at a Nissan service department cover your wallet and don't bend over.
