Believe it or not, the technicians at the dealership nearest me install items such as these, not the body shop. Bring the vehicle back and have them do it properly.

Congrats on finally getting your car! I had a factory spoiler installed by the dealer on my 2007 IS and it looked terrible from the get go, I had to take it back to have them redo it and I still had problems. I don't know why it is so hard for them to do it right My IS's with port installed spoilers looked good. Anyway I hope you get it rectified, if I were you and they didn't drill holes I would just take it off.

Thanks for all the input - I'm glad you all agree that I'm not being overly nitpicky! After spending 60K+ on a vehicle, I feel like this kind of shoddiness is completely unacceptable. It's annoying enough that the vehicle was missing a couple options from the factory that it was supposed to have (and after waiting 13 weeks for my special order!), but to have them do such a **** poor job with the installation is just downright insulting and unprofessional.

To their credit, they've told me to take the car back for them to fix this, but I haven't had time since I've been so busy with work recently (I'd already made 5 trips to the dealership within the first week for various reasons!)...

I'll update this thread once I get this resolved - thanks again for the support everyone! =)

Thanks! I question the competence of some of these dealerships - it's why I wanted all the options factory or port installed, since it's what they do all day long and you know they'll do it right.

I do like the look of the spoiler, I think it adds a little something different and extra to the car, but I also think the car looks good without it as well. However, since this particular spoiler install requires drilling, I have no choice but to get this fixed!

Otherwise, love the car - still learning all the little things about it. I'll post my own mini-review of it once I compile a list of all the pros and cons I've noticed. Almost at 1,000 miles too, so can't wait til after this breakin period so I can drive it a little more aggressively...

Quick note - it actually is the official 2015 Lexus spoiler option for this vehicle (I even saw it in the original factory box before they installed it 'cuz I asked to see it to make sure they didn't screw up and install the wrong spoiler!). I didn't include any rear shots of my car 'cuz my car was backed against the wall in the garage when I took the pics, but from behind it looks normal & you'd be able to tell that it's the official 2015 spoiler option.

I'll post new shots later after I get this rectified...
