Btw the original F Sport spoiler is PITA to remove... It's a combination of double sided tape all round the middle, 2 screws on both ends of the spoiler & 5 clips in the middle in a straight line...

Luckily, my GS 350 is a non-F Sport, which means there's no spoiler to remove. Removing the OEM spoiler looks like a real chore. I had considered the Artisan Spirits spoiler, but I wasn't sure it was large enough for me. It looks good on your vehicle, ronfsp. Maybe I should have taken a second look at the option.
ronfsp, how did you install the Artisan Spirits spoiler? Did you use only double sided tape or epoxy? Did you find it difficult to align left to right?

There is even an instruction teaching you how to do it. Although it's in jap, but looking at the picture you will understandI use double sided tape all round & some silicon sealant at both ends & some in the middle. The position where i apply the sealant is somewhere the position of the clips on the F Sport spoiler
After i fit the spoiler in position, i use masking tape to hole it down for 1 full day before removing the masking tape

Ya I really nice. But I dunno what will be the effect on other colour car thou...Looks great on Pearl white. They even have FRP material instead of the carbon fibre version.
They even offer a 20% discount rate for International Web order, therefore the
price will be 36,000JPY(FRP) and 57,600JPY(Carbon). Item can send
by EMS, so Shipping cost will be 4,000JPY (Shipping is to Singapore, so I dunno if the rates is the same to US). They speak pretty good English despite them being jap. Communication is not a prob thru email... Downside is have to do TT transfer thru bank...
& they gave me free gifts too A Artisan non slip mat & 2 pcs Artisan stickers Again I dunno if they give it to ever customer who ordered thru the Web..

Pole Position
What's most impressive is that such small details ( the almost **** way they attached the F-Sport spoiler) would never be remarked upon by the media/press or even the casual owner but are discovered only by car-mad enthusiasts like us.
Lexus build quality = substance and not just flash/hype
Ron : are you planning to paint the Artisan spoiler?

That's a lot of work, Ron! Weren't you glad the Artisan covered all those up? 
Spoiler looks good. Not sure about the rest though. I already have trouble dusting my interior. That thing on the dash looks like pain when dust gets into those holes.

That's Lexus workmanship and quality assurance for sprayed ed find it comforting that Lexus would rather err on the side of overbuilding even something as minor as a spoiler.

those small little holes is just a shallow ditch. It's a non slip mat. U can place ur wallet, handphone, sunglasses etc on it & they wun fly all over the place when u drive When it's dirty with dust settling on it's surface, all u have to do is rinse it under running water & dry it those chamois cloth & it's squeaky clean again
