Guys,

I know our spoiler on the s13's are a little squishy, but what exactly are they made of?

*LanceS13* · 10-03-2001, 12:22 AM

foam, I think

misnomer · 10-03-2001, 01:03 AM

yup foam, black squishy foam. Useless cheap funny looking foam. Too soft to keep from losing form after eight years, to hard to sleep on. Just uselesss, painted on foam.

btw, I think it's made of foam

when i first bought my car, all my friends said aahhhahaha your spoiler is made of foam man, i said no it's not and they said yeah! look! and i said....yeahuhhh, that's..a trick nissan used to reduce the weight of the car, which explains why it's so #### fast.  they laughed some more but they knew i was just joking. i'm glad i haven't had the problems everyone else is having with them. maybe my time is soon.
