The right thing to do is to get the spoiler painted and remove the rails..that will be sweet! Now it is all solid color on the top.

Check the 08 RX, they have body colored spoiler too and black rails and window treatment. Covering a white tower doesn't really justify the as a mock up. Here take a look at my painted spolier and the page before lexgirl06 painted hers too

I'm also going to change those rear door moldings identical to the 08s with Hybrid emblem on them too

Paint the rails to match the exterior! GX470 style!

Thanks MOWMOW,
The photo of your painted spoiler is great. It is making me reconsider the painting task..Will shop around for the price.

You are more than welcome !! I hope you get a great deal on the paint job
make sure they color match before painting, if they just use factory color
without matching, it might look a bit off being the spoiler have fresh paint and the body have a tad weather or faded color.

Is it really 7 bolts? I only see 3, but then I only took off the top garnish, not the sides. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
