Looks like this guy bought the same spoiler as me. I'm still waiting for mine to be shipped.

Blade, I cant wait to see the spoiler, and hey, heres a question for ya, Im pretty sure I know the answer but I just wanted to make sure, you had your 3rd brake light tinted too right? was that included in the $100 fee?

b1adesofcha0s 02-17-2011 09:35 AM
Yeah I decided to get it tinted at the last minute. It was an extra $20, which isn't bad at all. So my total was $285 for windows, quarters, rear windshield, tail lights, bad brake light. FedEx tracking says the spoiler is supposed to come tomorrow :D

eastwest2300 02-17-2011 06:05 PM
So Im looking at $120 to tint the rear lights all together.

Finally got the spoiler today!!! :happydance:
Couldn't get it installed though, one place was busy and the other was closed. It will probably get installed on Tuesday or Thursday.

Here are the pics:

Blade, am I seeing this right? Thats double sided sticky tape that holds the spoiler on.!?!? how does the paint look? any runs? orange peel?

b1adesofcha0s 02-19-2011 06:31 PM
Yeah that's double sided tape. It did also come with some screws to attach it, so its not just tape on there. The paint looks really good and no runs in the paint. The material quality is also good, doesn't feel cheap at all. I'm going to get it installed on Thursday morning. One of my friends knows a guy at this body shop who said he will do it for $80.

eastwest2300 02-19-2011 06:50 PM
Thats sweet man, thanks for the heads up on this, i am really leaning towards picking one of these up, I found a couple of them on ebay, can you post up the seller name that you bought it from, so I can buy it from him? thanks.

PAINTED NISSAN 370Z 2009-2011 FACTORY STYLE SPOILER - eBay (item 130477994147 end time Feb-20-11 14:03:41 PST)

Can anyone tell me if that's a good one to get? It's from a top-rated seller, but I just hope its not some low quality junk.

I'm also considering getting tail light and roof overlays from Blue Batmobile here on the forum. Does anyone have any experience with these? How did it turn out? I won't do the install myself, will just get it done from the tint shop.
There's the link for the listing itself.

eastwest2300 02-19-2011 07:29 PM
Got it, thanks Blade!

eastwest2300 02-20-2011 08:32 AM
I just looked at DYI for installing this spoiler, man.. I dont know if I really wanna mess with it, $80 seems like its worth someone else doing it.. hehe :shakes head:

That's exactly what I thought. Even $200 is worth someone else doing it.

eastwest2300 02-20-2011 11:46 AM
Blade, you know, I was thinking, theres quite a few of us in the general area, I would say we should get a few of us together, and paint our headlights all at the same time, but 1st we'd have to find someone that knew how to do it, and we could all help each other through the process.

We could plan a day, sometime soon, order pizza, drink some beer, and custom paint some headlights.. I think it'd be fun. Just a thought. What do you think?

b1adesofcha0s 02-20-2011 11:55 AM
It does sound like a good idea, but I don't want to get my headlights painted. I don't think it would look good with my car's color. It definitely looks good on a black Z though. If you guys do it, I don't mind just hanging out and watching/helping if I can. Let me know if you decide to do it.

Best tint shop I have found is auto magic

AutoMagic - A Full Service Auto & Truck Accessory Center

Im not ure how I'd go about planning something like this, I guess what I could do is start a new thread, and get a sense of whos down to do it, and plan it a month to 2 months out. Have people bring their own tools, and hopefully find someone who knows how to actually do it, and have them take the lead on it.

And, you're car is silver, I think, if you found your car's paint color, that would look pretty sick. Just my 2 cents.
