Spoiler Removal

[Roachy94]

I'm looking to remove the rear spoiler of my 01 300GT Sedan. How would I go about doing it? I know that the spoiler brake light would have to be re-wired to the light on the rear shelf, but apart from that I don't have much of an idea and the damage that would be left behind under where the spoiler is mounted. Any ideas and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

On the coupe's its easier to find a boot without a spoiler and swap it over. Might be the same for a sedan?

I've considered doing that but my paint colour seems to be fairly rare (twilight blue).

Probably easier to buy another one and get it painted; otherwise you'd have to get holes filled in your boot lid... and then need paint etc anyway.

there is one in Melbourne, but its silver.

Filling spolier holes is never fun and needs to be done right.

+1 for new boot and spray

Surely it wouldn't be too costly to spray a new boot? I got mine done for free.. but that's because i pulled strings but you'd think it'd be around $200 max

I probably will go for the new boot and spray, saves time and will look much cleaner I reckon. Also thinking of getting a lip for the boot and getting it painted. They look so nice!

I've taken mine off, it was a while ago but I don't remember it being too difficult. Just need to take the plastic/cloth panels under the boot off first.

The holes on mine are awful, i think it was hand drilled and they protrude up so the boot's not flat.

still think its worth it. I haven't covered the holes, just left it. Tried putting rubber grommits (?) in them but the fell out eventually.

Not having much luck with mine. Anyone wanna swap for my white boot + nismo spoiler?

Do you have any photos of how it looks mate?

Also, does anybody know whether or not a Series 2 or late Series 1 boot would fit my car? If I'm going to go spoilerless I'd like to have the cleaner look of the later boot.
