Spoiler for 2014 IS350 FSport
I think the car looks cleaner without the rear spoiler. Some of the models look somewhat "tacked on". I did have a Seibon RF style diffuser installed and it looks great! My car is Nebula gray with the rioja red interior.

Well said. I think the body lines flow better without one

where is the best place to get the spoiler?
Can I eBay it?

Looks like it comes with the OEM colors?
Anyone with experience on this?

I went the cheap route, this ebay seller actually paints your spoiler for extra (or check his other listings, for about $50) and the painting matches exactly the color of your vehicle. He also does a spectacular job with the paint, no drip marks! He does ship from Taiwan so it takes about 2 weeks.

A "sport" car without a spoiler look naked. When I bought mine, I wanted one with spoiler. If the dealer have the car I want without spoiler, I would have them include it for final purchase.
I did the same when I bought the 12 Camry Hybrid. They had the car color combination I want but no spoiler (as most ex hybrid didn't come with). Dealer want 400 plus for part + installation. I just bought the spoiler from online Toyota dealer (ebay) for 150 and did the installation myself. How many have a gut to drill 5 holes on a trunk of a week old car? My son was freak out 'daddy you ruin our new car'. LOL

Quick update. I ended up going with the spoiler back on. I felt that the car was missing something without the spoiler. Plus it gives it a more sporty look.

I Love Mine ...$ 68.00 Ebay !
I hate how the other spoilers come down over the trunk and have a cut out around the Lexus emblem... I feel that makes it look cheap like a Toyota.. Camry..

I like the looks of the spoiler......an example of 'less is more". Did you consider painting it to match the color of your car? Also, where did you get the "fins" on the sides of your rear window and are they taped on?

and in regards to those aero dynamic stabilizer fins, they are about $300 for those stupid things
yes they are 3M taped on LoL
you have to get them imported from japan. you can buy them on ebay heres one link for them

I won't be getting my '14 IS 350 AWD F sport for a few months and I don't have any parts for it stockpiled in anticipation for it, so I feel I can offer an unbiased option:
IMO, it depends on the car. On a stock car, it makes it look taller. If it was lowered, it might be a different story, but the rear trunklid does have an exaggerated rear line which reminds me of the E46 CSL trunk lid. Some part of it makes we want to say it ruins the clean lines of the car, but on the other hand it is subtle and you can't go wrong with OEM accessories.
