Well, it’s mounted. Added a small strip of double sided tape to the edges and some 3M epoxy to the top corners. I couldn’t push it in any further without the front corners popping up. May have to do with the tape on the sides. Guess I’ll live with it for now.

Mlsully, Thanks for posting the pictures. :tup:

Hey mlsully, more pictures pl0x?

NorthStyle 02-16-2019 03:26 PM

I'd have jumped on this if I could've found someone wanting to swap Nismo hatches. Maybe I'll just buy one from a wrecker methinks...

Shot from the rear and side to help get an idea of the profile. The more I look at the car, the more I feel it was a nice finishing piece needed for the rear. Now just patiently waiting on the rear carbon diffuser and get rid of the street aero one.

They look good. I'm still waiting for a Warm weekend so I can put it on.

I love the spoiler. The fit I would give an 80%. The rear of the spoiler doesn't contact the rear of the factory spoiler leaving a gap. Also when you install marking the point where the ends of both sides lay flat is absolutely necessary. I was going to have a body shop make it perfect but decided I'd do it myself. If you took the time with a dremel you could possibly remove enough inner material to have it lay flat and be flush in the rear but it's questionable if there's enough material. Overall it looks so good I'd do it again.

Sounds like you ran into the same problems that mlsully ran into.

mlsully 02-21-2019 11:18 AM

I was afraid of taking the dremmel to it as well. Doesn’t seem like there was enough material there to make that much of a difference. Even considered hacking up the oem, but f**k that lol.

Yes, although it would affect aerodynamics (minimally I'd assume).

OptionZero 10-31-2019 11:28 AM

if it's held on by adhesive only . . . i don't think its going to be affecting aero much

I'm 200lbs and for ***** and grins I pressed my bodyweight on the hatch to the point of basically a dip. With the 3M adhesive it completely holds me up, to add I also did 10+ runs at Wannagofast two weeks ago. No problem with the spoiler. With the angle of deflection I would say it adds a few more lbs of downforce to the rear for sure, as far as enough to help is subjective seeing as I was still spinning the wheels at the 1/4 mile mark. Considering I'm well over 700rwhp and the surface was spoiled by sand and dust that spoils the effect.

Where did you order it?

Try reading the first page. I have a link there for Yatt.
