rear trunk lip spoiler thoughts?
I have been debating on if I should put a real lip spoiler on the trunk of my ES...similar to the hybrid.
Interestingly enough that 'option' shows it is available in the 2020 ES brochure....however they are no longer offered here for the ES.
Has anyone put on an aftermarket one or do I even bother....I thought it would be a nice little 'subtle' touch to the back end.
For the size, I would prefer something that has like a 3M adhesive type of install vs. drilling into the trunk itself....I have looked online & have not come up with anything that does anything for me.
Just curious on your opinions & interested in the folks that have installed one & their thoughts. Perhaps vendors here can chime in as well?
Thanks in advance.

I have is on my 2020 ES300h in Canada. Even though i like it, I wouldn't go out of my way to install one on the car that didn't have one.
I find it holds water and salt water in winter under the spoiler and doesn't drain the water off the top of trunk lid well.

This didn’t go well last time around. I guess, by and large, it’s a matter of taste. With the exception of the F Sport (which is really a trim package, by and large) the ES has generally be considered a luxury oriented car. The spoiler, which likely doesn’t do all that much for down force generation or mpg, to me, at least, doesn’t match that luxury style. People are free, of course, to do what they want with their cars, but I stick in the camp of no to the spoiler for most ES configurations.

I didn't ask that specific question but I know the parts manager looked it up for anything available for my 2020 & he said they no longer offer it. 
I wonder what happens if someone has an accident with their FSport or Hybrid with the OE spoiler & it needs to be replaced...weird.
Perhaps a shopping trip to the US is in order LOL. Maybe Lexus USA still offers them.

What are the best site folks would recommend that I could reach out to find out more info?
I prefer an OE Lexus 'lip' spoiler, nothing aftermarket.
