Default 2013 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury with Rear Deck Spoiler
All,
I was able to install on 2013 Lexus ES 350 Ultra Luxury the Rear Deck Spoiler, xtremely
Easy at a minimal cost. My local body shop install the deck spoiler re-adjust and
re-align the XM antenna using all original OEM material.

Why do you have a antenna on the trunk?

The UL's have had that on the trunk for the last few years due to the glass roof.
I had an ES UL and hated that box on the trunk.
I can't understand why Toyota still has that XM antenna box on the trunk.
A Optima with pano roof doesn't.

I have an Audi with pano roof. No separate antenna, just the shark fin. So obviously it can be done.

The antenna was not remove do to the square hole on the trunk lid. If xm box is remove from the trunk lid, the trunk lid has to be painted by body shop

I got my spoiler today and it is pre-painted. Did they really have to paint the trunk lid to move the XM Antenna? The whole trunk lid???

Nice thread, glad I found this. So on a non-UL model, where is the XM antenna? I don't recall seeing any ES's with two separate antennas on the trunk.
