I was kinda wondering why Nissan thought the spoiler was a good idea. I mean its barely functional, not that any ka will stock need one, much like any non street legal car. But still its so ugly.

Anyone know of any non tacky looking s13 fastback spoiler?

GP Sports 3-piece hatch spoiler and roof spoiler look good, either separate or together.

Mine was basically rotted out when I ripped it off, and since I found a hatch that came w/o spoiler stock, and it looks beautiful.



Im still interested in something functional that isnt a GT wing, just because. I was thinking if you could alter the coupe s13 spoiler or maybe a 90's sentra?

I really really hate that stupid spoiler, it took me 4 months of going to the junkyard every weekend to finally find a rust free hatch. 4 months! every hatch had rust, I was lucky I found a rust free one.

This is the one that came with the car, I had tape and crap to stop the rain water from coming in.

This is the one I found at a local U Pull It.

It was off some drifter kids car (had a bunch of sfldrifters.com stickers on it) looks like the kid slammed into a wall, hatch was unscathed though.

Stupid drifter kids FTW, the more drifter kids, the more S13 parts for me!

i do too... this one looks sick.. but i also like the flat metal GT ones... always look good with the flat tail of the 240. as well as those mitsubishi ones that are flat but have thickness and downturn on the sides.

Ahhh the good old spoiler... I remember when I had my hatch. I used to call it the seal. It was nice and smooth just like a seal, and always stayed wet and brought me trouble.
