Standard rear spoiler

[ov_lozza]

The standard rear spoiler on my silvia looks a bit knackered and i was thinking of taking it off, whats peoples opinions?

It's that foamy like spoiler and mine has gone a little green and got some little chunks missing, if i was to take it off a). how do i take it off? b). is it likely to be hiding big rust holes? as i know rusty tailgates are common on S13's.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

Silviagod does plastic copy ones. To get it off you need to undo/snap off the 10mm bolts underneath and peel back the double sided tape

Ah so i can be expecting holes then.

Ok might wait for a bit until i spray the lot then.

Thanks

TBH, I think they look better without the standard rear spoiler, even with the mounting holes still showing. I`ve never seen a car with the original spoiler that`s still in good shape .

mines got the fibre glass replacement and think it gives the back end a much better shape with the spoiler on! each to their own though hey

i'am quite liking the stock one, but i wonder if someone could use one of the fiberglass ones and extend it by a couple of inches.

Yeah, I know what you mean, the cars would be boring if they all looked the same . I`ve got a shogun style spoiler for mine, originally for a 200sx, but with a little modding it will fit okay.
TBH I think the aftermarket spoilers always look better than the standard rear spoiler . All the standard ones I`ve seen tend to have a wavy look where they are fixed to the car, that`s if they are still in one piece...LOL...
