CF Spoiler that doesn't cost 2K+

FuszNissan · 06-20-2009, 03:35 PM

I am looking for a nice subtle CF spoiler that doesn't have a crazy price tag. Any but got any ideas? I kinda like the Mines bolt-on, but not crazy about seeing the bolts. I like the Zele, but not crazy about 1300 bucks for a spoiler. Maybe that's the going rate and I just don't know it. Are there anymore out there that are nice but not costly?
Thanks for the help guys.

I'm right there with you. I've been looking, but haven't seen anything that suits me.

To be honest, I would love to see a functional double decker wing that mounts over the stock piece so the center brake light is retained. The style I'm thinking of is like the 997 911 turbo wing:

I think it could be done even better than the styling of the 911 wing.

Anyone wanna photoshop that one?

ask, SpawnAeroJohn...he can make some i bet

fenders are 800 bucks a pair, the spoiler gots to be less than that by a bit...lol

I forgot to mention, I'm looking for someting subtle, too.

^^ that's not funny....

Haha great posts! But think of it this way. If your OEM spoiler is (just an example) $1000, and you want to replace it with an $700 aftermarket spoiler. You are GREATELY losing value on your car. It might look better but you don’t want to put cheap parts on a real nice sports car. Same thing with a hood. The OEM hood costs like $550 (I looked it up)

If you are getting a fiberglass hood worth $300. That right there is your mistake.

Just some helpful advice J Don’t anybody take this to heart I was just saying I wasn’t trying to be rude.

But we are planning on a duckbill looking spoiler that resembles the OEM one. But the ends span a tad farther out horizontally sortaish, and in the center it stretches out more. It sounds silly but looks amazing on paper.

None taken, it's a good point. I guess I should say I am just looking for a nice subtle CF spoiler. I just don't wan it to be 2k. cost. I think the Factory Z spoiler is somewhere around 500.00, but it just doesn't do it for me.

I agree with Fusz. I really like the Mine's design, but do not like the screws which is why I keep asking for someone to do that design and fuse the two, that way no screws exist.

I am curious about the duckbill spoiler. Post pics when you can!

SAJ The dealers price for the stock spoiler is only 340.00 then they add their mark up to it.

bullitt5897 · 06-21-2009, 06:21 PM

Guys the duckbill design is based off of the Mines spoiler add on... I made a few changes to the design regarding the center to give us a slight down force advantage

Dont worry guys John will have you guys covered!!!

FuszNissan · 06-21-2009, 06:38 PM

Glad to hear it. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with! I guess just ad your link to this thread and end the posting on this one. No sense having this open anymore. I will subscribe to you and John's thread.
thanks

i saw a picture long time ago with this guy who had ductaped his junky sentra with cardboard all around and it ended up raining later in the week.
