You need to replace the spoiler. Good thing is its only about a $100 if you buy it yourself. It's really the labor from Lexus that's expensive, maybe a few hundred.

as stated above, looks like you just need to replace the spoiler.. part alone shouldn't be that bad.. Just curious, how did that happen? also is your rear bumper damaged or is that just some sort of oil / grease smudge on the bumper.

Well if you want to try and just replace the spoiler part, here's a PDF from Lexus on how to do it. You would have to have the part painted first...

Don't go to the dealer for that, go see local bodyshops. If spoiler is around 100$ i expect labor to be around 400 max.

Is the spoiler glued or bolted on??? If glued on, you might be able to remove it with no noticeable damage. Just pretend your Lexus didn't have the spoiler option.

If its glued on, be super careful with the fishing line and maybe dilute the Goo-gone that you use to scrub off the sticky stuff. Heck maybe even have a body shop remove it, sometimes it can be tricky to remove sticky adhesive from paint without damaging the paint. I did burn off a bit of paint on my 1992 SC300 when I removed my old gold badges and replaced them with chrome, that front bumper L, thought I'd never get the adhesive residue off, burned off a bit of paint by being a bit aggressive with that stuff.

to remove that 3m tape leftover without damahing the paint you need an eraser wheek like this one :https://m.ebay.com/itm/ABN-Rubber-Eraser-Wheel-Drill-Adapter-1-Pack-Adhesive-Vinyl-Decal-Remover/231546621866?epid=1223857439&hash=item35e9410faa:g:LukAAOSwGIRXaWYJ just attach that to a drill and remove the leftover glue, it works like a charm and it's super easy.. In this case, from the lexus pictures, it seems the spoiler has 4 nuts that comes with it. So there mught not be tape on it...

Those Spoilers at that ebay link are $225, Not $100.

And the Lexus Factory Brand Spoilers, I think, all come painted the color of the car you order for.
