Default Lexus ISF seibon rear spoiler

Hello, I'm on the verge of getting the seibon rear spoiler and I was wondering what do you guys think of it? Will it look good on the ISF? I looked all over the internet I cant seem to find anyone with an ISF with a rear spoiler installed!

While wings work on some rides, especially ones more geared for car shows, I don't see it looking all that great on the IS F. And truthfully, I haven't seen one on an IS F to begin with. I mean, it is your vehicle, yes, but it does seem like it takes away from the overall look of the car. I wasn't a huge fan of the IS F CCS-R wing, and I'm not feeling this one either. But go with what you like. That's more important than others' opinions of your ride.

Couldn't agree with that statement anymore. My decision would rely on what purpose the car serves. I wouldn't wear a parachute unless I was skydiving, ya dig?

Get what you want. I wouldn't ever put a giant race wing on the back of my car, unless it was proven effective and I planned to track the car at speeds where it comes into use.

That wing somewhat resembles the wing on the 2008-2010 Viper ACR, which creates 1000lb of downforce at 150mph. That wing has a purpose, and it's at the track on a car built for track dominance.

In any event, if you like how it looks, go for it!

The following conversation will take place at Seibon after u buy that wing: "Dude can u believe a guy actually bought one of our rear wings for his F?". Other employee says "No way! We had that thing sitting in the storage room for like 3 years, are u sure he bought it for his F and not his 2002 Eclipse?".

I would however go with the lowest rake available
