hi... this is my second thread (1st one in the wrong section) about my lil issue... well im about to buy a oem spoiler for a g35 coupe... whats does the spoiler consists of?? like wiring? bolts? etc.... could i get some 411 before i buy... im just making sure before I buy it.. thanks guys...

 

apparently its best to just do a trunk swap, but usually you can buy the spoiler by itself. you have to decide between the 03-05 style and the 06+ style.

 

how does the 06 and up look like?

 

its really a lip more then a spoiler. the 05 covers the entire bumper and about 4 inches further, the 06+ covers just the bumper, a slightly different look. not sure how well 06+ spoilers would fit on an 03 however.

I sorta like the 06 better sometimes, but then i see my 05 spoiler and fall in love with it...its really a personal decision, i think the 05- works a little better as far as aero dynamics go on a 03 coupe and in general just because it has a lot more surface area, providing much more down force capabilities (which is what it is for).

 

after market wing should come with all the install materials such as the nuts& bolts, trunk template, silicon sealer, 3M double stick tape and pre-wired LED brake light. I think the only thing I needed to buy was a drill bit that could poke through aluminum. Install should be about an hour.
Does any body know if the 05 and 06 spoilers have the same mounting holes? Can you just swap them?

 

I doubt either spoiler actually produces any down force on the vehicle.

 

i see what you mean... kinda like the 06... but... i dont see a HUGE.. difference

 

+1 on trading someone of the same color...alot of folks want to go wingless lately...

 

yea i would trade my trunk for a trunk with a wing... i got no problem with... that.. i doubt there is someone in orlando that would do that.. or miami...

 

op u have the perfect timing for upgrading to an 06-07 look with the 07 spoiler

since ur 2003 the prefabricated truck open space pattern for the 03 spoiler is different from the 07 spoiler pattern - the easiest thing to do is install the 03-05 spoiler wings on

but the better thing to do is be creative and put an 07 spoiler on - very clean look and classy to - but that will require you to drill 4 extra holes on the side of your trunk lid - yes the slanting sloping side so you can put your bolts through to attach to the spoiler on top - it's easy to cover up the holes with tape or 3m whatever you like and nobody would notice

so if u put an 03 on that's easier than swapping since there are wires running through the trunk lid that must take some detachment of other parts of your car to completely remove where as an 03 wing can be had on in one hour if you're fast

but as i said the 07 is oh so clean and classy why not get the face lift for your 03???

oh yeah = there are five bolts to hold the spoiler on your car pluse the spoiler 3rd light which you can just ignore - five holes to drill on your trunk at minimum - nine if you do 07 spoiler + 1 more if you intend to use the spoiler 3rd light (plus wiring work for light to work and concealment of wire as well - i would just skip it)

there ya go

 

thanks for the 411 man...

 

I don't even know what he said...

 

the 03 spoiler is very straightfoward - if you do the 07 spoiler pm me so i can email you some very essentials tricks for this one otherwise it will be very long install

 

got ya... im see what deals are coming up... cuz i might get the oem spoiler for the 2003 for like 70 bucks... is that a good price?

 

yeah - for 03 that's about right $70
but the 07 is like only 30 more right???

try ebay since i have seen painted 03 for less than $60 before
