Def check out the junk yard. It'll save you tons.

I got the lip spoiler on ebay a while ago. It came painted and actually matches perfectly. Little short on each end, but it really doesn't bother me that much. It was 60 shipped. But if I were you... go with the better alternative. the OEM m3 lip or the UTR spoiler. The one Chris (g35papa) has.

my local yards carry nothing newer than mid-90's.

A g35 in a yard would be a score and a half for me

+1, Massachusetts wrecking yards suck. i use greenleaf, which usually has a much wider selection, but even they have VERY little in the way of 2000+ cars.

you've gotta check out the ones in NYC, you'll definitely find what you're looking for. especially in the bronx or out here in queens.

That's odd... most of the places I usually call ONLY keep cars that are 5 years old or newer... there just isnt enough demand to keep a 96 LeSabre around, when the steel is worth more than the parts.... ya know?

Where my local yards are is an area flooded with ricers. So the demand is huge for 90's Honda's, Toyotas and Nissans. In fact, if you go to those yards on a Saturday, those are the cars with the most people picking through them. You could put a GT500 up front and nobody would tough it (except me) but bring in a 1996 Honda Civic and it woul dbe stripped out in a day.

How does the trunk open when you do the conversion? Is the FOB the only way to get that opened? Since the doggy door has a handle that pops up...

I think the FOB is the only way unless you want to go through some expensive body modifications.

Well sure you can't see the detail from the distance, but as soon as you get close the awkward texture comes out. I don't even know why Nissan shaped the trunk that way from the start.
