Default Removal of rear spoiler

I saw a picture of a 370Z without the rear spoiler and it looked really clean, the only problem was that it was a picture of a car with a full body kit, I would like to see what a bog standard black (if possible) 370z looks like with it removed???

Plugging the holes is a pain. You're better off switching hatches with someone. I think it looks a lot better with the spoiler. It looks plain without it.

I think you might be right....it looked better on the fully modded car, on a bog standard one its a bit bland!

When I had my OEM spoiler removed and wing installed, in total there are 11 mounting points that have to be patched, filled, sanded, and painted.

Roughly $1k worth of paint/labor.
