Your dealer is an idiot. That part is installed at the DEALERSHIP as part of prepping the car for sale. As AK and Dreamer mentioned, it was in the hatch, wrapped in plastic with install instruction. You paid for it, it's part of the car. Your dealer needs to take care of this (and get his act together in the prep department).

The same thing happened to me and I had to bring it back to get them to install it.

NYBladeZ · 01-20-2010, 09:26 PM

I had it installed but I've scrapped it a few times, now I have a cf piece, it pains me to leave it on there but what good would that do, it's going to scrape eventually when I put it on so hell with it

They should be there on all cars.....May also be part of dealer preparation..

vipor · 01-21-2010, 10:01 AM

think of it like the floormats, which also come boxed/wrapped and the dealer is supposed to install for you during Make Ready

vipor · 01-21-2010, 12:10 PM

not that i saw. it's my feeling that they're there to be scratched. that's what i tell myself about the skid plate on the bottom of my Nismo bumper. that thing has burrs all over it

Spartan 1771 · 01-21-2010, 03:13 PM

I have yet to see one of these installed in person. Like I said, I drove through the local dealership a few days ago (which is not the dealership I purchased my Z from) and none of the Zs on the lot had it installed.

simota1 · 01-21-2010, 04:08 PM

maybe the dealership is holding them and not putting them on so they can sell it on ebay

lol im jus kidding....

Well I still haven't gotten my front chin spoiler. I drove up to the dealership where I purchased the car yesterday. It's over an hour and a half away. I get there, wait an hour and then find myself in an argument with the BEIOTCH assistant service manager. She claimed there was no front chin spoiler for a non-Nismo Z. The chin spoiler they ordered was for a Nismo, and I don't own a Nismo, so this obviously caused an issue. We went round and round for an hour when I finally got the sales manager involved, who confirmed that there is a front chin spoiler for a non-nismo. He didn't have one in stock, but was nice enough to allow me to use his computer so I could access this thread and show them the part. She never even apologized for her mistake and piss poor attitude.

Apparently they are having a serious issue communicating with the factory about this part. They ordered something, but aren't sure if it's the right one, which doesn't give me any confidence in their ability to solve this issue. Does anyone in here have Nissan's part number for this damn thing?

Here's the order info from Courtesy Nissan:

Dealerships here do not install the front spoiler until the car is ready for delivery due to fear of it scraping during a test drive.

Spartan 1771 · 04-09-2010, 04:28 PM

it's the same everywhere. The sales manager stated it comes in the trunk of the car because it makes the car to low and they have issues getting them on and off the delivery trucks.

Thanks! I'll print this out and fax it to the knuckle heads at the service dept.
