Custom Spoiler Project ~ Picture Heavy :)

Sorry not feeling this at all. Lots of effort you put into it too!
Spoilers look bad on our cars. I will say that confidently. I would recommend the Hikkatadori trunk as the cleanest looking trunk for our cars. Strafe has one too but its inferior in my opinion.
Search my thread or ttrank or G Sedan for more info and pics.

So you'd recommend stay away from the Strafe K2?
I've gotta buckle down on some research it seems. And is this genuine? It's cheaper than the Strafe also....

Why does everyone think this took me so long? LOL, Start to finish it was maybe an hour out of the day.
I just ran with an idea I had, Worth it just to say I tried IMO. Thanks for pointing me to some other ideas though, very helpful dude, as I said I've got a bit more digging to do, want something quality.
I originally planned on making something similar to the Hittakadori trunk before I even knew it existed for sale, so I was pretty happy to find out it was available similar to what I'd have done anyways. And even happier that I didn't have to do it myself, cause I don't have a body shop or heated garage, and I'm selling the Maxima in the spring so no more 2nd car! Rolling around trunkless=fail

Looks good but then again i like the look of the oem trunk spoiler. How about this one? It's pretty clean and might cover the holes from your old spoiler http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=27451055286

Thanks dude, much appreciated Kudos. Well, I've decided that although it looks much better than stock, and is very original (something I strive for), I just don't like it as much as no spoiler, or the K2 from Strafe.
It was a fun lil Saturday mess around project, no harm, no foul. Anyone want's the spoiler or trunk locally let me know. I'd be willing to finish it and make it for someone also, but the price would be to high for most I think.
Is there a sedan spoiler/trunk picture thread I'm perhaps missing?
Unless I hear or see something else I'll prolly end up getting this 'lil fella:

Thanks dude. I've been digging, so where can I get it in a high quality? I've had no luck after a good chunk of searching.
there are several trunk lip/spoiler threads... here's one I started quite a while back, before I got mine done...

Have you ever thought about moulding the whole light in on the trunk and the bottom of the quarter? I think that's why it looks so weird, only the top is moulded in but there's a gap everywhere else, cuts up the otherwise very smooth lines you have going on.
This is the kind of thread I was hunting for thanks man! I did do quite a bit of searching for exactly this without positive results. And I even entered almost EXACTLY your thread title
Thanks again man. thought, after 8 pages, I only saw a couple options, and TBH, none my style at all. I'll keep searching but if you guys have any other links to threads like this please do post!

Only really good thread I've found so far, thought I'd add for future references/searches by others:

I would be interested in it otherwise though, $600 + shipping to canada is nuts for a trunk though. I don't want CF.
I'll shoot Dustin a PM on that, thanks man, that's a great option too cause I don't particularly like the *** style swoop in the center of the HD trunk lip.

If I were to get a lip spoiler I'd mould it into the bumper anyways, I don't like the line created by lip spoilers on this car. Just my flavour, a great suggestion otherwise.

I never know what to think about that custom tailight job you did, I think it kind of looks like a Mazda 3, but I don't dislike it, and I LOVE the originality. Also creates a gorgeous line from the lip on the trunk down onto the quarter/tailight.
