Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

I spoke to John at Grubbs this morning also.
He is kinda useless, I asked him to get in touch with Infiniti and get a copy that he could post on FA.
He did not give me a good feeling that he has the wits to help us.

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

Wow - I thought that Grubbs was at least the one dealer that knew something. This is distressing. I am currently awaitng delivery of my lip spoiler from Grubbs. I have found the local dealers here in the LA area useless. Most don't know the lip is available. One dealer that did wanted $360 for the part and the parts guy told me about $89 to install. When I checked with the service dept. they wanted $289 to install!

Hopefully the person that has the "12 page manual" can post his source of the manual; or better yet post the manual on here in the DIY section. (12 pages?- sounds complicated!)

Also, could the person who mentioned that you do not need to remove the front bumper to install the lip also elaborate on that process.

Sounds like this is a mod a lot of people want to do - so if anybody out there can post a DIY on this forum, it will be greatly appreciated and widely used!

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

The person with the 12-page manual is the same guy that mentioned about not having to remove the front bumper and that was bkchang79. I second the idea of posting the manual in the DIY section, anyone else?

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

I posted a request for the instructions on both FA and MY350Z, hopefully someone will come through.

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

If the "manual" is an Infiniti publication, Grubbs should get it and post it immediately. They are obviously selling a lot of these spoilers - so how about some customer service!!

Hopefully the person who posted earlier indicating that he had such a manual, could at least post and give us the info. on who he bought the OEM lip from and the source of the manual.

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

Funny how there's people who say they have something that no one else has but everyone needs. Then when asked to share they suddenly don't post any replies or don't really have the item. If you have it or a source for it just post it... Prove me wrong.. jeez

In pictures from a past post, you can clearly see them.

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

Okay all you people! I called my vendor where I purchased my lip from and had them fax me a copy of the so called "12 page manual". Thanks to Frank at Scottsdale Infiniti in AZ he quickly fulfilled my request and I scanned the pages and saved the manual in .pdf format. I am not sure how to post it here but for now just provide me your email addy and I'll get you the file. Have an early Mele Kalikimaka (that's Merry Christmas in Hawaiian). My email is agagf001@hawaii.rr.com

Aloha
Fred

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

If you do a search you should come up with an install w/pics somebody posted a while back.....If I remember he did not install all the screws the way the instructions stated...he instead used 3m double sided tape to hold it to the bumper.

Sorry, I can't remember who or when I read the post....hope this will help in some way...<font color=blue>2old4this</font color=blue>

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

The spoiler is NOT hard to install. Cut out templates. The small template locates the screw holes for the center most holes. The large template is for the side screw holes. Starting on drivers side, line up the template with the bottom edge of the front bumper and the edge of the mesh grille. Use scotch tape to hold it on. Have the lip spoiler on the ground under the car for quick easy reference.
Once you have the drivers side templates positioned, pick up the spoiler to check for a rough alignment. Hook the edge of the spoiler lip inside the fenderwell and line up with templates. It will look like the holes are about 1/2" from lining up. Don't worry, that is about right. I made my holes "slightly" eliptical. Drill drivers side hole located by the bigger template. Then hook lip on fenderwell again and you will have to stretch the lip so stud will go into hole. Using the same procedure, drill the center-drivers side hole. Stretch lip again so 2nd stud will go in.
Remove templates (careful, they tear easy) and reposition on pass side of bumper. Drill the pass-center hole next.


The install seems hard at first glance, but once you get templates placed and hold spoiler up, it becomes quite easy. It will appear that the holes won't 100% line up. They don't, but you have to stretch the spoiler AND be smart about where you drill. The templates basically give you the basic area to drill. You may have to deviate about 1/4" or make yours holes eliptical. The lip will hide any mistakes.

It took me about 1 hour to install, but I went slooow. If I had to do it again, I could do it in about 1/2 hour.

I removed the chrome grille to install the center most nuts, and went thru the wheel wells for the side nuts.

Go for it, it is really a breeze!

Re: Finally, received my OEM front lip spoiler.

Not a problem Tybrey, just spreading the Aloha to other members in time of need. BillR, great tips on the install especially the one about removing the grill to access the center screws. As far as worrying about tearing the templates why not just make a photo copy of it so you'll have a set for the other side.

Aloha
Fred
