I recently put a spoiler on my coupe and have just a couple of pics. The whole process was kinda nerve racking having to drill into the trunk lid... I made it out alive and I think it looks pretty good. I bought this spoiler off ebay already painted, it looked real nice. I cut the existing wires to the 3rd brake light and spliced into it for the light on the spoiler.

Looking good man! I got mine installed at the dealer, didn't want to mess with the body lol. They did it for $30 so it wasn't that bad.

I actually put silicone on the bolts so it created a seal. Forgot to mention that.

Looks nice man. Question. When you say you spliced into the existing brake wire, did you remove the brake light from the window, housing and all? Or is it still there non functional? I'm confused Bout that because I have been eyeing that spoiler for a while.

If you do it at the dealer, they'll take the light from window out. You'll only have the spoiler's

All my brake lights come on :gapteeth:
Got my window led light, spoiler light, and both tail light brakes lights on.
Check out the CF spoiler from AIT.

No, my rear brake light housing is still in place... although you can buy a plate to put over it and take the old one out. http://www.nissanraceshop.com/product/3 ... 99j1utpscr

I will probably do that eventually.
