Default Roof Spoiler

Spoiler Alert-
I bought an ebay roof spoiler thinking it wasn't just some piece of rubber, does anyone make an actual piece of plastic rear roof spoiler? I know amgain does but I wish NIA did since I just bought the full kit from them and not tryin to pay 800 shipped just for that. For those with roof spoilers, post a pic and where you bought them from please? Thanks

Just confirming that you are looking for a roof spoiler for the Lexus ES????

I'm not sure if this cars demographics are after these aftermarket parts for companies to make them.

If it was something to make the car even quieter and softer, maybe. 😀😀😀😀

I'm just curious, why would you want this? Do you like the look or is it for other reasons?

I have found that with a greater weight distribution in the front, the spoiler keeps the rear tires down at speeds above 250 MPH.

I wasn't asking you, I was asking the OP. But whatever makes YOU happy I guess!

Just for looks lol. I bought the NIA full kit. No one buys a V6 Lexus for performance.
Edit, the second half of the first line is towards sder. boomer talk

I don't have downforce issues with my hybrid. The battery weight keeps the trail planted at those speeds. Lol

It works up to roughly 275 but my rear went out of control at 300.

It's because we don't have quad tailpipes and blacked out roof. Everyone knows that's at least extra 20HP.
