What the G37 OE looks like? Are you referring to the coupe?

i don't think you can go wrong with anything really, stillen, oem, or none(chrome finisher).

But to help, i'll swing towards the oem style coverin the chrome.

I just do not like the chrome finisher. Any wing that leaves it in looks like it was an afterthought.

^ +100 The chrome finisher's got to go either way. The factory OEM G37 sedan spoiler obviously takes care of that, but I just don't like the the styling of the sedan spoiler... it's took bad they didn't make it more like the G37 coupe spoiler. I'm probably gonna end up with the Stillen myself and have the factory chrome lip painted to match and possibly even integrated into the Stillen spoiler, so it actually becomes one piece. Either that, or I'm gonna cough up the bucks for the IMPUL or T.K.

I like the Stillen -- nice and subtle. However, a lot of people are knocking the chrome piece. I guess I did at first, but it has grown on me. I think it actually looks like a spoiler already and it matches with the chrome on the doors and the front grill.

haha, this did not help at all


i dont know what to do. The OEM doesnt look good at all angles. The stillen looks somewhat "aftermarket." I really want to maintain a stockish look. I like the no spoiler look but at the same time, the rear looks like it needs something.

Hehe... I know what you mean... I've had the same delema for months.

Did you already buy the Stillen? Is it already painted? If so, why not try it on the car and see how you like it? It's mounted just using 3M tape, so there's no need to put holes in your car... the OEM spoiler requires you drill holes in the rear deck lid... that's a deal breaker for me right there.

my thoughts exactly. yes i have the stillen already. no it is not painted. I have test fitted it already and it looks good, but not amazing. it was also hard to picture it painted.

now, i am actually thinking about selling the wing and getting some tanabe springs instead

^ Well, if you do end up selling it, let me know.. I just may take it off your hands for you.

I'll let you know how I like the Tanabe NF210 springs that I just got from Rick @ Riverside. They seem like a good compromise between the Impul's and Eibach's.

How does the Stillen attach? I was checking their instruction sheet and it looks like there are no screws involved, true?
