Really like the subtle look of the spoiler on the hybrid model.

Anyone have an idea of what is would cost to buy it and have it added to the es350?

Sewell Lexus which allows you to order parts online and sent to you offers it for $245. Plus, since they have a relationship with ClubLexus, you can get a discount on it, and it is being sold for $175.45. Just make sure when you create an account to add that you are a clublexus member. I dont remember where on the form but look carefully.

I think that is a pretty good price. I think you can go back to your own lexus dealer to have it installed. Or perhaps since you are in Texas, you can go to sewell directly

Wow these come factory painted for less than $200? That's super cool.

I'm actually not far from Sewell so I probably will have them hook me up.

thanks -

The spoiler will not fit on ES models with the Panoramic Moonroof as the sat radio antennae is located on the trunk on those models.

That is interesting since on the Lexus web site they show a white ES350 with the panoramic roof and the antenna is on the roof.

If you look close at that picture, there is another antenna on the trunk along with the shark fin. Not sure what the second antenna is?

I think that photo is edited. The actual cars that we have received, with Panarmic Moonroofs only have the trunk mounted antennae.

True and it's surprising that the '13 has the XM antenna on the trunk too.

Just curious, did you like the looks of the spoiler from online pics or did you see the spoiler in person?

I like the looks from the pics till I saw the spoiler today in person.

Rather strange. I attended the north Texas drive event, where there were around eight ES & ESh, with & without the roof option. Then around ten at the dealer showing. I have not observed an antennae on the trunk. The antenna has been on the roof and in the vehicle roof color, which, for the roof option, is black.

I saw and sat in a '13 UL pkg at the NY auto show.Same color combo as my '12 UL.
I saw the XM box on the trunk and asked the Lexus rep why would Lexus still have the satellite antenna box on the trunk when even the Optima with pano roof doesn't with XM.He just said he didn't know.
I would think an antenna box would work on the rear window shelf.

Wink Adding Spoiler

Wouldn't you suspect that after a few months and more new ES's are in consumer's hands there will be some aftermarket knock-off spoilers being produced and offered at good prices?

I have Ultra Luxury ES... The antenna on the trunk is for GPS... Electronic technician told me that GPS mount has to be grounded...UL has glass roof, hence the trunk mount.

XM or GPS,the antenna box shouldn't be on the trunk on a $47K vehicle.Other pano roof vehicles have the box in a hidden spot or maybe in the shark fin.
