Default Good factory replica spoiler?

I am looking around to get the factory spoiler look without paying the arm and leg that the dealer wants to install OR to have to modify the spoiler to get rid of the bolts.

So.... I came across this:

http://www.elitespoilers.com/inc/sdetail/906

$175 or $250 painted.

Not too bad. I had an RMM lip spoiler for the IS300 and it was a very nice kit and had no problems w/ the 3M application.

Any reviews, opinions, or alternates to this company?

Looks fine to me..I'm assuming this is glued/taped on?! If it is I would definitely worry about people trying to steal it.

It is 3M'ed on. Just like my lip spoiler on the IS. No one would really know its not bolted.

Even if that were the case, I'd rather them steal a taped on spoiler rather than a bolted one. That happened on my Civic Si - some A holes went in the parking lot and just ripped my damn spoiler off (factory spoiler). Busted up my bumper, trunk, quarter panel. The base of the spoiler was still attached to the trunk lid when I discovered it. Unbelievable people these days.

ehh... for the price... might as well go OEM. No worries about color matching becuase it is OEM. No worries about fitment becuase it is OEM.

About $500 installed from dealer, plus they put holes in the trunk lid.

I'm pretty sure I convinced my self of this replica.

lexus parts has the oem spoiler for $221.17 and you can use the clublexus discount and get 10% off so it comes to a little under $200...i havn't done this but i've heard others has used 3M double sided tape and taped it on rather than bolting it on...also the spoiler already comes painted to match your car so there isn't an issue of colour mismatch...i would much rather do it this way since you're looking for the OEM look...hope this helps
btw heres the link http://www.lexus-parts.com/partlist....12&ModelID=150

I paid $188 OTD for mine and it's painted OEM. I installed it myself the way a dealer would.
