Rear Lip Removal

Hey,

I am very close to buying an '09 g37 base with sport, navi, premium packages black/black..the ONLY thing that bothers me slightly about the car is the rear silver lip. Does anyone know if that can be removed, how much, and whether removing it would void the warranty?

Thanks!

You can remove it but do you plan on replacing it with the spoiler? Or repainting it? Else there'll be a bunch of holes...

Yes, I'd definitely want to replace it with a spoiler...something subtle like this:
JKS® - Factory Style Rear Spoiler with Light - 2009 Infiniti G37 Spoiler

Any idea how much removing the lip and installing that spoiler would cost? Or if I can find a better deal anywhere else?

This is not a difficult install but there is some measuring to ensure the holes that need to be drilled are lined up correctly. If you are uncomfortable with drilling holes into the trunk deck of your car then seek professional assistance. This is about a 2.5 - 3 hour job for anyone doing this for the first time. The 2nd install would be no more than 2 hours.

Hit up ImStricken for an OEM spoiler - a good guy and a solid product!

Like bschurr mentioned, it'll take anywhere from 2.5-3 hours for first timers. Assuming you want to take it to your dealership and they've installed a spoiler before, they'll probably charge you 2 hours of labor. TBH I don't know how much they charge per hour since I do everything myself, but I'll make a guess at about $120. So you'll be looking at about $240 to get the dealer to install.

+1 for hitting up ImStricken. He's got a great price on an OEM spoiler.
