The spoiler should come with glue kit, not screws.

i recieved my spoiler without the template , thats bescause nissan dealer in my country sucks

and i've been arguing with them for a week just to privide me one. which i think they don't have it.

i googled for the template hoping to find pdf version of it but with no luck.

please anyone could guide me what to do

ps: i live overseas where dealers sucks, so contacting my dealer again isn't gonna work.

peace

wow man... that sucks.. ummm are you sure your dealer gave you a genuine spoiler from nissan or a replica... it should come with a template.... the only way i could think of getting a template is contacting one of the dealers on this forum and then getting it from them

yes its genuine with nissan packiging and part # sticker on the package ,
the thing is the car is just released in my region , thats why spare parts aren't available in much quantity:S

this is what im arguing with them about, to look for another package to see if it contains a template. the funny thing is that it seems they dont have another spoiler

(another meaning of saying my dealer sucks)

any help is appreciated

peace

Thanks for this write up. Where did you purchase your spoiler from? I just ordered mine from Courtesy Parts but it didn't include the template or the replacement gas shocks. Unfortunately they are unable to provide the template. They claim that the spoilers provided by the dealers don't come with templates because they are meant to act as replacement parts for vehicles that already had a spoiler installed. Lame.

Were any of you able to track down a template somewhere else? Thanks!

If you have a second, would you be able to take a look at the replacement hatch struts that came with your spoiler and send me the name of the manufacturer on it and model #?

I'm trying to figure out if I can avoid replacing mine, or if I can find cheaper versions somewhere else since my spoiler didn't come with replacement struts!

Thanks so much!!!

Sim...from one island braddah to another MAD PROPS and Alohas to your DIY, I read this entire thread just because its good info, when douche bags reply to me with silly comments such as "its glue on" I dont even bother or give them the time, just not worth the energy you know, anyway awesome write up, damn it I have still yet to see a Red 370Z on the island, saw my first pearl white one today....bought it and made the dealership throw in the factory spoiler, (as well as a whole bunch of goodies I like) just waiting for it to come it

ALRIGHT bro first of all the spoiler aint f*ucking glued on aight? its BOLTED on and held by fasteners that lock in place on the Z!!!! every z with a god damn wing has bolts and fasteners...... the only type of wings u freaking glue on are the cheap *** M3 wings u can buy on ebay.... the holes will NOT get loose because the the proper size holes were carefully drilled in preperation for the fasteners to go in.... and it wont leak or rust because ONE.... i put vast amounts of sealant in each HOLE and fastener to INSURE no leaking and TWO... like wat chris said it wont rust cuz its ALUMINUM bro.... one more thing there wont be anything to fix because it aint a taiwan spoiler that u glue on; its a GENUINE NISSAN wing which means every Z with the sports package wing was installed the same wayy i did it alright.... AND if u insist on glueing the wing on then GO AHEAD bro... if it flys off after a while and hits a car behind u... ull just feel like a jackass cuz u know was right...

Good write up Simota, Very informative. Purchased and installed my spoiler this weekend. BTW The response to the ignorant fool that thinks the spoiler is "glued on" is a classic, always cracks me up when i read it, lol.
