Spoiler for 2014 es350 ultra luxury?
Having trouble finding a rear spoiler for my 2014es350 ultra-luxury due to the antenna on the rear trunk lid. Has anyone found or has tried installing one on a ultra luxury model?

Looks cleaner without one imo, plus we dont need additional downforce on the rear of our front drive cars haha...😂

Yes, I guess it’s always interesting how different tastes can be. I have a 2018 ES 350 with spoiler and I wish it was without 😂

Interestingly enough, I have seen the reports on drag coefficient of the ES 350 versus the ES 300h. The difference is greater than I would have expected, and the only visible differences are the exhaust and the little lip spoiler. I have to believe the spoiler is part of that. Now do I think installing a spoiler will automatically improve gas mileage - no, of course not. But I don't think they put it on the 300h merely for the appearance either. Just sayin...
Oh, and personally, I like the look with the spoiler. |

Now we are getting into the purposes of a wing vs spoiler. I can see justifying the little trunk lid spoiler if you are doing a lot of highway cruising.

To the OP , an OEM rear spoiler can be installed on an UL

So I went through this a while back on my ES U/L. Went to Dealer parts to ask about Spoiler. They said there was none for U/L. So I got a Lexus Black Spoiler from ebay and the Template.
I removed the XM pluck and filled in the holes. Drilled the spoiler holes, and relocated the xm Punk further back on the hood. I like the Spoiler look on my car. |
I bought my car with no spoiler. While there are not many ES350's in my color, sure enough I saw one just like it but with the spoiler 2 months later.
I asked my wife what she thought, and she liked it, so I bought one from the dealership and installed it myself. It's small size adds a nice little accent in my opinion. I also decided to add the door moldings. I was hesitant at first, so I taped them in place and asked a few friends what they thought. They are fairly slim and seem to break up the wide expanse of the side of the car, so I installed them. The nice part was, even though I try to park away from other cars, they also did there job. I noticed a small nick in the molding that otherwise would have been a ding in my door. |
