Default 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.

Cool! You should also get one of those rear roof spoilers too. They look really cool. Probably make the car faster too.

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.

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.
