Spoil or Not To Spoil? That is the Question!

OldGuy · 01-19-2013, 12:35 PM

I bought my '09 base new, primarily for its looks. Dealer offerred to install a spoiler prior to taking delivery. It's nice, but frankly I like the prefer the looks of the car without the spoiler. Some cars have to have one and some cars are more appealing to the eye without one. The car is still stock if you have it added. I preferred none and love my car's look that way.

FYI, I found this photo somewhere in the forum, it's not my Z

But I have spoiler on mine too.

OP, if you like the way it looks then put it on. I have an 09 base w/ sport package. I like the Nismo front clip so I had that put on my car.

Drive the car the way you want it and do what ever makes you happy. Your Z is YOURS.

Do it. I got my 09 z less then a week ago spoiler less. Lets just say today spoiler is on. Got it on ebay brand new painted for $130 shipped.

If you run into problems with the hatch opening after you install the spoiler, check out the hatch weight removal DIY.

Did anyone ever end up running this?

Near naked?

Spoil it, the wing looks good on the Z, better than some aftermarket

I know everyone has their own opinion -- Here is mine -- That thing looks terrible. Definitely looks like an afterthought.

Some members with 2011's and 12's are finding they don't have it!!!

OP has a 2009, so yeah, check my thread on removing the hatch weight!

Haha yeh. Also looks like a unibrow lols.

What inspired ings+1 to make that? Just random? Don't they usually have well thought out parts?

It's like the opposite of the nismo spoiler.

Go ahead and add the spoiler. I did, sure like it, but not the Nismo, a little high profile for me.

since adding a spoiler will cost money and you are unsure about it, i say don't do it.
