Default IS250 with carbon fiber wald spoiler?

I have a SGM is250 and right now I have the oem trunk spoiler on my car right now but I'm starting to get bored of it. I really like the wald spoiler because it looks so aggressive but I was wondering if a carbon fiber wald spoiler would look good on my car? Also I'm wondering whether or not I should mold it and how much that would cost to mold it and where exactly would I go to get that done? I appreciate any opinions that you guys have.

Got any pics of your ride? I could tell you how it would look on your car

Some people get it molded others don't, just depends on your preferance and how much you wanna pay to get that look.... I've heard anywhere from 400+ to get it fitted, molded, and painted.

don't forget to upload some pics...

I'm gonna try to post pics tonight when I get back home because I guess I can't upload pictures through my phone.... -__-
But that's another reason why I was thinking about going the carbon fiber route with the wald, because then I wouldn't have to paint it

CF on SGM blends together very well in my opinion. I have a CF roof spoiler and you can't tell it is CF until you are close up to the car. I was thinking of getting it painted when I first picked up the roof spoiler but I decided against it and just put the extra $$$ towards something else.

The WALD a very popular rear spoiler and a lot of members here have it. Probably because it looks great on the IS. I have one, but it is not molded on. At least not yet.

Deegee is correct, getting it molded will cost a lot of $$$ in addition to raising your rear quarters to make the rear lines stand flush. But it looks a lot better molded than not IMHO. But you don't have to go down the molded route. You can just purchase it and 3M tape it on.

Good luck.

Here's an oler picture of my car before i got the oem spoiler:

And here's another picture, a bit newer, after my oem spoiler:

And so I want to get a more aggresive spoiler and thats why i was thinking of the wald spoiler but i though about maybe going with a carbon fiber wald? so i was looking for everyone's opinion? would a cf wald look good? or should i just get it painted color match?

If you have other cf parts it will look good. If it's the only cf part on your car, it'll look out of place, and getting it color matched would look better.

If you got a CF front lip it would look cool. I used to have a CF roof spoiler and CF front lip and it looked balanced. When I changed my front lip to the GFX lip, the roof spoiler looked sorely out of place and I traded for a painted one. Just as long as there's more than on CF piece it should look good.

I really like this front lip, I have never seen it before so I don't know what kind of lip it is... I was wondering if anyone knew?.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is2...assifieds-173/
