I hate my GS400 spoiler...
#17
i thought i might mention this just in case....
if the spoiler came with the car new, be careful about taking it off......your GS may not have the rear center brake light on the back deck under the rear windshield....i believe that the middle brake light is a legal requirement in most, if not all, states

my GS4 had the stock spoiler and I replaced it with the Junction Produce rear 3pc. Talk about a small spoiler, it didnt cover up any of the holes. Just have the holes patched up! Just as long as the work is clean, you will be fine

Fellas:
I am thinking about taking of my OEM spoiler and going with eithe Wings West or the Sprt Design lip. I understand that either of these will not cover the holes from the OEM spoiler.
I have read that all you do is "patchup the holes" or " shave them".
Please pardon my ignoirance but what exactly are we talking about here?
Would the bidy shop need to take the trunk off the car and fix the holes then paint the whole trunk over or what?
what exactl would need to be done so that the holes are not visible and everything loks perfect?
Approximate cost to get the work done please as well.

Ted you will need to bring it to the shop for estimates but it'll probably be about $2-300. What needs to be done is fill the hole proffesionally, prime and then paint. This can be done with the lid still on the car and should be so that the painter can verify a proper blend area. Do not let them blend into the rear fenders.....thats not a good option.
Should take a day or 2 based on how busy the shop is.

Can someone please post some pics of their GS with the Lexus factory Sport Design rear lip spoiler and the rear window spoiler? I think that combo is too cute. I'm looking to get a spoiler on mine and was looking at the OEM spolier but everyone has that. I'd love to see some pics of the aforementioned spoilers together, especially on a Burnished Gold GS like mine.
Thanks guys!!!
Thanks guys!!!

It's a bit much and I don't sell drugs so I'm not looking to spend that much on that mod.

What window spoiler are you talking about? Since you said window, I assume you meant the L-Sportline since the UGO sits on the roof part of the rear.
I have the UGO and considered the SD lip. I really like the SD lip but just thought the UGO would overwhelm it. I just think the roof spoiler should be smaller than the trunk spoiler. If you don't have the same hang up, then go for it.

how much is the SD Lip SPoiler?
shouldn't be much sinc eits so small.
Letsride:
Do you mena that they would take off the OEM spoiler and put the new one on and then paint the whole thing with teh holes filled and then the trunk with the lip on at the same time or what?

I just bought the GS on December 17 and now that spring is getting close, I need to start the mods like rims, tires and spoilers. I guess I need to see more pics from different angles to make a decision, cuz I'll be a mad lil blasian if I have something installed and end up hating it. Also I don't want to do anything too costly, since I plan on trading it in next spring.
