Can anyone possibly help me install a spoiler this friday. I live in so-cal, just want to install it before the meet. I have none of the necessary tools to do so. I'll pay!

Is it already painted?

Me and my bro did the install of my SE-R spoiler when I had my '06 Altima. You just need a drill. It's easy. Tomorrow is my day off. Not available on Friday.

I would help, but i have never installed that kind of spoiler. ask in the meet thread and worst case senerio, I will bring my tools and we can install it at super autobac while Rob is installing kickplates.

^That sounds like a better plan to me than having to drive to Stanton on Saturday... and then again on Sunday for the meet.

Besides I know how to do the actually spoiler to trunk install... but I paid a shop by my house 20 bucks to wire the light for me.

Godd luck on the install . I installed a lip spoiler on my G. It wasn't really difficult - would have been a little easier with two sets of hands but you wont have that problem.

Someone might want to bring some jack stands and a real jack(if possible). Lifting up the front of the car will make the job easier and may be necessary if you have to drill vertically.





You might want to bring some alcohol pads to clean any areas that you will use double sided tape on. You'll also need masking tape, scissors/blade etc. for the templates. A Creeper or blanket for whoever will be doing the dirty work under the car. (you should try to bring these things yourself-if you can bring any tools). Would be great to bring a fully charged drill or even cordless screwdriver.

Since you have the instructions/templates - you should make sure you know what tools, sockets, drill bits etc are needed and confirm that they will be present at the meet. As well as some of the little but often necessary things listed above.

You were the one who should have responded bro - no sweat - i was just curious because it sounded like folks were willing to help - i just wanted to make sure you helped the helper

BTW - from the title I thought you meant the front lip spoiler - any way glad you got it installed

Plus 1 for the Nico community.
