Red face After market spoiler possibility?

So I'm exhausted in my search and running low on time for my auto loan before it expires. The best ones I've got left aren't in the blizzard white & don't have a spoiler. I know these are just cosmetic but they are features I truly wanted. Besides the fact that it helps keep the back window clean I feel that it looks so naked without it...

Anyone install an after market spoiler on their 470? Will u post some pictures and/or advice?

looks identical to the one that came on our '06. Painted from Rockauto for $185, but I would have a body shop do the install, as it requires drilling into the body to mount it.

That's the main reason I don't want one on mine, I don't want to drill holes. At first I thought it was a bit strange looking without a spoiler, but I actually prefer the look now.

I recently bought mine from Spoiler Authority. They don't list it on their website, but they do have them in stock. Just send them a quick email to double check and they will explain how to order. I paid under $100 for a painted black onyx spoiler with brake light with free shipping! I just had a local body shop install it yesterday for $100 because I didn't want to do any drilling myself. Another shop I went to wanted $200 minimum to install.

Do you mind sharing info about the quality of the spoiler? Is it an OEM exact match? How is it holding up for you?

The quality of the spoiler is great. I went through a soft-cloth car wash for the first time a few weeks ago and it held up no problem. I have parked next to a few GXs with OEM spoilers and they look identical to mine. The paint match is decent but it isn't 100% perfect. The only time I can notice it is from about a foot away in super bright light so its really not an issue at all and no one would be able to tell unless I pointed it out to them. I think its because Lexus black onyx 202 paint is single stage (no clear coat) and the spoiler manufacturer probably adds clear coat in their painting process.
