The one on eBay looks like the non f-sport spoiler. The Amazon one is the f-sport.

You sure bud ? I thought they may be the same non Fsport spoiler but cant be sure, the amazon one looks too small

This is the fsport and it goes further forward on the trunk

I'm sorry, you might be right. I think the Amazon one is an aftermarket one. The non f-sport spioiler has an arches around the Lexus "L" logo so I based my answer solely looking at that. Didn't notice how small the spoiler actually was.

Well the amazon one is sold by a lexus dealer so I wondered if it was the nonF spoiler but man it looks off....looks like it is narrower , maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me though


I guess I can call them up and ask them

I purchased that very spoiler off Amazon from Belle Lexus of North Scottdale AZ. I can confirm that the spoilers are the same. Both are the NON-F Sport version.

The OEM F-sport spoiler is overpriced from the dealer but you can get an aftermarket f-sport style for much less.

Np - if you're going to do it the "right" way (drilling holes into your trunk) then the template is a must in my opinion. I didn't - i just mounted it using double side tape. Also, be careful with the Lexus dealer listings on ebay/amazon for the spoiler b/c sometimes they don't list the color/color code you may have to call them to find out for sure.

Here's my post from last year when I did it:

"The instructions say to drill and the OEM spoiler comes with bolts and a template to help you drill the holes in the right spot. I didn't want to drill and was comfortable with using just the tape method. The OEM spoiler comes with its own tape pre-installed. Spoiler has been on for months now in rain and 90mph highway drives with no issue.

I used a dremel to cut out the two bolts attached to the OEM spoiler. The spoiler came with pre-cut double-side tape installed on its underside/edges. This OEM tape was grey in color but with no "branding" on it (not sure if it was 3m or some other type). I bought some 3M 20lbs mounting tape (1-inch holds 1lb) from Lowes for $10 and put some of this tape around the areas that didn't have pre-installed tape.

Carefully mounted with patience and using a lot of force. It bonded quite well. I even think the OEM tape would've been enough."
