Rear Spoiler, Not OEM?

I noticed that my rear spoiler brake light lens has cracked on my 04 Coupe. I was going to get a replacement lens, but doing some research, it looks like my spoiler may not be OEM. Do your spoilers look like this?



Thanks!

That's not OEM. There is no hole or gap between the stock '04 coupe spoiler and the trunk lid like yours has. The stock one has a pretty uniform and very minimal seam all the way around between the spoiler and trunk.

Here is a pic of my stock spoiler also an '04 coupe. Sorry for the crap quality... it's dark out right now so I had to use flash and be quick to avoid mosquitoes... lol.

The flash actually makes it look like there is a bit of a gap but there really isn't one. Notice how much more narrow my spoiler brake light is in comparison to the one on your car. I'm the original owner of this car so I know it hasn't been modified.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Can we get a better picture of the whole trunk and spoiler OP? I'm curious as to what you actually have.

Thanks for the reply. I'm the original owner as well, so that's why I'm surprised that my spoiler may not be OEM. It was installed at the dealership when I bought the car, and I've always just assumed it was OEM. It even says OE right on the brake lens!
What you have looks closer to what is described in the service manuals.

I'll try to get a pic of the full spoiler. Its the spoiler with the "wings" on either side.

it does happen where dealerships will add upgrade packages, I'm surprised they used the wrong spoiler tho.. Does the lens say Nissan OE? Maybe it's OE from a different region..? That is clearly not the spoiler I have tho.

that looks like a replica of the 03-04 oem spoiler but with a gap in the middle

Also if you're gonna run skyline badges you should debadge the infiniti logos or put Nissan ones, mix matching badges is not cool. Like I always say do it right or don't do it at all
