M3 Lip Spoiler
Okay so a buddy of mine has a CL-S and has a M3 Lip spoiler on it. I was thinking about putting on the max. I dont know someone already makes them for the max or not but i think it would look pretty nice. I haven't seen anyone on the .org with one.

Here is a picture for reference:

yeah i just checked there website and it doesn't say if it comes color matched or not? The one im looking at is on eBay and the seller has all of Nissan's paint codes to match it near perfectly.

I plan on doing the samething on my Max. I have only seen it on the paradox site my self. I know someone that has it on a 4th gen & it looks real good & can be painted. It's held on w/ 3 mm tape.

so..your buddy had an "M3" lip spoiler on his CL-S and now you want the "M3" lip spoiler (that was on a CL-S) on your maxima....
so on your car...would it be an M3 lip spoiler? or a CL-S lip spoiler? or a maxima lip spoiler

well the m3 lip spoiler is the reference that most people make with this type of spoiler because you mainly see it on the m3s or bmws. I first noticed it on my buddies CL-S and he said it was a m3 lip spoiler style spoiler. Maybe i should have made that clearer. I guess you can call it a maxima lip spoiler. Honestly i was just looking for something to finish the back end of the car because it looks too bland w/o a factory spoiler.

And for those of you requesting pics, they will be up as soon as it is installed.

I think getting a factory spoiler will be much better

idk, ive always like that looks of the SE 5.5s with the factory spoilers but never the GLE with the spoilers. idk why either? i guess its because of the wheels and the aluminum finish on the GLE wheels.

yeah but thats just me. i mean look at a GLE with a spoiler and a SE with a spoiler. The GLE just looks odd. I guess its because all GLE from factory come w/o a spoiler but a spoiler can be added as an option.

I was thinking about doing this too. Just wasn't sure if the ebay M3 spoiler covered the trunk correctly. Don't want to put anything on my car that looks like it was just thrown on lol.

So I'm definately in for pics since you have the same colored car!

GLE without factory spoiler FTW

Nice looks good! Paint matches very well also!

Just my opinion, but I would've put it at the very top of the trunk. Instead of where the trunk dips down. Wonder if it would fit correctly?

yeah i tried to fit it on the top of the trunk but it was about half inch short on both sides. i called the company and they said that the maxima has a curved trunk so they design it to to fit the very end of the trunk.

Looks very nice. Can you take a pic from 30 feet away? Does it have 3M tape that holds it on?

Thanks guys. Its dark out now but ill try to take some pictures tomorrow from far away. They use 3M double sided tape. The best part is, its color matched perfectly. For $60 shipped, im not complaining one bit.
