Default You've got major guts! There is NO WAY I'd install anything but an OEM unit!

All I can say is...wow.... you've got guts. Couldn't bring myself to install anything but a factory unit.

Default Non OEM does not necessarily mean bad

I think you certainly have to be careful when looking at installing anything non-oem for your vehicle. But on the other hand, there are many non-oem accessories that are of high quality.

I had an aftermarket spoiler installed on mine and it looks every bit as factory as the factory-installed units. In fact I went to a local installer that the three large Lexus dealers in town use when putting the spoiler on their cars as a dealer installed option.

I agree! The factory one has the same warranty as the car and the dealer will stand behind it. Some, but not all aftermarket products are just not worth the problems that can come up. For example, it sounds like this member as well as others did not have good luck with Spoiler Depot:

For me, with a $50,000 SUV and you are dealing with a painted accessory, it's just not worth it - go factory.

Is it just me or does the spoiler lean a little to the left. Just Kidding.
