You can just use double sided tape, but that is a little scary for me at least.

Yep, that's always the risk you take! It all depends on the area you live in too.

Same goes for me, where I live the chances of someone stealing your spoiler is zero to none anyways!

i used a rubber cement kinda glue. if i ever want to take it off, just need a heat gun and the spoiler will come right off. and i have the satisfaction of knowing the spoiler wont be going anywhere, even if someone tried to pull it off.

I just bought one from Sewell with the a Lexus Gift card, $170ish I believe and $10 shipping. I'm debating on getting this installed at a shop, or just doing the double sided tape too. I was curious what a dealership would charge and it was $405 for 3 hours of work.

Just had mine installed at Lexus. Cost $120. Was worth it to me. They said it had 4 bolt holes.
