**update** A local body shop said they would match it for $125. I think that is high, but the guy spoke of matching the paint fleck etc as the reason. I sent this info to OEM and they offered to refund $65. I accepted. It is still cheaper than getting another one elsewhere.

I would recommend against getting the OEM Thing in Matador Red.

Try a maaco. Its only a spoiler not like your painting the entire car.

Finally got my roof spoiler painted. I paid $155 out the door to have it painted at the dealership (the lowest I could get at a body shop I would trust was $125 plus tax, so Lexus painting seemed worth it).

And Yes Killa, I did use 3m tape to put it on (I saw you stress that point on another post).

Same thing happened to me but with the spoiler. They sent me two so I called it even.

What exhaust tips do you have?

I love those rims!!

What's the purpose of the roof spoiler? Interrupts the flow of the cars body imo.

Is purely cosmetic. In a wind tunnel it likely increases drag.

I was looking for a way to have a more aggressive look.


BTW - the rims are stock.

My car is USB and the color match was spot on. I spent $84 shipped and it was the best money I've spent thus far. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but glad it is fixed now.

Wow, that original color on the spoiler they sent you was way off. Glad the issue got resolved. New paint looks good. Did you end up giving the ebay seller negative feedback or neutral?
