Experimenting 00-05 celica spoiler on 08 g35 sedan.

Hey Guys! My First thread!

I been looking for the right/different spoiler for my 2008 g35 sedan, but always come upon either lips, duckbill, evo, and arch spoiler. So I'm experimenting on other oem spoilers from other cars and found that the 00-05 toyota celica spoiler fits! I got some before pics(before holes are drill) and will be posting soon. After pics will be after painting and my diffuser arrives in 2 weeks. I was intrigued when 350z owners actually installed the celica spoiler on their cars. Google it! Looks nice on a 350z.

This is the spoiler before actually drilling or install. It's about half and inch higher than it should be. More pics in a sec.

You got some cajones, you'll have to buy a new trunk if you drill into that one!

More pics... Again it should come down about .5" due to the screw and not drilling a hole.

I think it looks good. Super impressed that you are forging your own path and trying something like this!

Does not compute (robot accent).

It looks so awkward and out of place.

It just looks high like a supra spoiler. After I paint it and bolt it down, maybe it settle in place. Gotta figure out how far in or out i want to place it. What I like about it is that it reaches the ends of the trunk sides. the stock arch spoiler is like 2-3 inches shy from sides which i wasn't feeling...
