Chrome rip or Real spoiler with light?

I own a 09 g37x AWD coupe, and it has a chrome rip.

Personally, I think the real spoiler with light (which you can order and install from any infiniti dealler) looks cooller than just the chrome rip.

What is your opinion? Chrome rip or real spoiler with light?

Can I even put real spoiler with light on my AWD coupe?

Thank you guys!

Spoiler all day long. On top of that, you can also add the CF piece that Amplified Motorsport is coming out with.

I just replaced my chrome lip with a spoiler ... the spoiler looks soooo much better. I did the install myself, not for the faint of heart.

ma bad... rip -> lip

you happy now?? lol

But that's got nothing to do with Korean.

It's just that Koreans have problem with pronouncing l's and r's, not writing.

it would be great if I save some money from the labor charge. How did you install it? Where did you order OEM parts?

Haha dude I'm in Korea right now and being Korean myself I laugh because Korean people in Korea have a hard time pronouncing R's V's.


But yea I'm going to get a spoiler added when i get back.

I ordered it from here:

OEM Infiniti Accessories & Replacement Parts Warehouse

You have to drill into your trunk. If you are not skilled in following directions and drilling it will be a nightmare. You have to remove your chrome lip, remove most of the trunk liners, apply a template (comes with the spoiler) and drill several holes in the trunk of different sizes (they are in mm but using closest USA equivilant is fine). You also need to obtain a rust preventative. I went to my local Nissan dealer and showed them the part #, they didn't have it but could order it. I then went to a local body shop I've used and they gave me a small sample. It's a black liquid you put on the exposed metal. I also used silicone around the holes as well. Applying the spoiler was a bit tricky as the double sided tape didn't want to peel very well, it kept breaking. Glad I saved some old forecepts I used to use (a long time ago) as a roach clip and was able to grab the pull-away tape backing.

Some tips, use a hole marker (not sure technically what's it's called, its a pointed device you can tap with a hammer to make a small indentation and it helps to avoid drill wander. Don't tap hard as you don't want to dent. Buy some new drills, start very small for the first pilot hole, again to avoid drill wandering. I used these after I had the starter holes drilled.

Irwin UNIBIT 3-Piece. Set with Bonus #2 Cobalt Step Drill Bit - 15506SM at The Home Depot

Bottom line, you don't want to muck it up or you have ruined your trunk. You also have to replace the hydrolic trunk lid dampeners, the kit comes with new ones, they are easy to do.
