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

First of all, awesome write-up!

Has anybody ever dropped a screw while trying to screw on the spoiler? What to do now

it's stuck inside the trunk.

Yep, I did this too. I purchased a magnetic pickup tool from O'Reilly's. It only took three attempts to fish out the nut.

Thanks for the DIY, simota1. I referred to this thread a few times during the install.
