Removing That Ugly Spoiler?

[adzR34]

hey guys just after some advice,

I do not like looking at that MASSIVE Factory nismo spoiler on my r34 gtt coupe (the wrap over)

Been thinking of removing the thing... does anyone have any advice?

Cost, level of work and maybe a place that does it?

cheers

there are a lot of bolt holes if you remove the spoiler, I asked around about welding and leveling the holes, quite expensive.. I think asking over $1k

that's a load of crap, over $1k my arse.

But look, the reality is you will have to get the holes welded again then the whole boot will have to be repainted.

Here's the drill - to repain whole boot you will be looking at at least $300.00, welding should cost around $100.

Without further details on whether you want to go wingless or install another wing - I can only assume you will go wingless - if this is the case, then you you will be looking at around $500.00 max for this exercise.

On the other hand, if you want another wing - then of course you will have to buy one (price depends on the wing) then get it professional painted which will be another $250 or so, so yeah.... that's it in a nutshell.

Actually, talking about the R34 Nismo wing... I actually have it on my r33... I have a drift wing on it, then a bit further in, I got this wing without the wrap-around, looks aggressive as.

I would suggest that you take the wrap-around off and just leave the wing on it's on free-standing - looks aggressive as - but yeah, I would also move it in a bit, it's sticking too much towards the end of the boot which makes it look awkard.

good luck.

if it was the normal GTT wings, then yeah weld and spray bootlid...but with the altia wing aren't u forgetting the holes left on the rear quarter panels...weld and spray tht too...would get pretty close to 1k I'd imagine.

SHOPPING TROLLEY!

[adzR34]

HAHAA yeah i heard that once from someone!

Yeh well sounds like the side things will have to go, would repainting cost a fair bit for the rear sides? how much would i need to paint there?

Bro, if you shop around you should be able to do this under $800.00. You gotta shop around bro.

Good luck.

Whoa that sure is ugly! I'd take a chainsaw to that thing!

Are we talking about the same wing here?

Coz the R34 altia wing or nismo wing has about 7 gaping holes on the rear quarter panels where the corner parts of the wing are fixed...

ADZR34: I was thinking exactly the same when I bought my car... not a problem, I'll just take off the corner parts when I get home. Man did I get a rude shock!

The best quote I've got so far is $600 to take the corners off, $900 if I wanted the centre piece off aswell. That's to weld the holes shut & repaint the whole area. I'd have had it done already if not for getting my rims, & Intercooler first etc.

The scary thing is, the wing is actually starting to grow on me lol I'd better get it done soon before i start liking it.

Everyone at my work had the same reaction, they thought it was hideous but now they like it

A R34 Nismo Wing on a R33 (with a drift-wing to cover up edges and sides) looks aweful - if you see one around, that's mine... as no one has this look beside me...

Can you post a pic of your 33? Interested to see it...

lol I got the bastard off eventually, just left 7 Humongous holes in the quarter panels.

Spoiler part on the boot should use the same bolt holes. Car companies like to make interchangeable parts to save money

Quote was from extreme bodykits in Wetherill Park Sydney, $600 for just the quarter panels. $900 to remove the spoiler aswell altogether.

Although he did the bodykit on my old R33 so he gave me a better price than usual.
