Question I hate my GS400 spoiler...

Is there a flush looking lip type spoiler that uses the OEM holes in the trunk? The OEM one doesn't look good to me IMO.


Thanks,
Byron

Will the RMM rear spoiler cover the stock spoiler holes?

Here's my Lexus factory Sport Design rear lip spoiler. I had the Veilside spoiler and of course there were 4 holes I needed to fill in after it was taken off.
The Sport Design spoiler covered the 2 rear holes but not the front 2. I had my body shop guy fill in all 4 anyways just incase I ever take it off.

The Win rear spoiler uses stock holes.

The replica does. The real one is not bolt on (unless you drill and make it that way). Both should cover the holes, however. Both are hard to come by though. I've been trying to get the replica one for months but seller could not give me a set date. I ended up just getting the real one.

I have the explosion replica...

the rear holes are covered, but the fronts aren't...

i had to get the holes shaved...

This wing is pretty big... I'm not sure how much of the wing sits on the trunk for the WINN spoiler, but
the explosion won't cover the stock spoiler holes..

This is the real one:


The replica is just heavier and uses the stock holes to attach. I know of only a handful of people with the original and only a handful with the replica.

I was thinking about posting this the other day.

I used to love the stock spoiler...I think it is crap now.

PLEASE post more pics of Win spoiler. That is what I want except maybe not stick out so far in the back.

What about a smaller (lower) version of the stock one? I've seen some like it on IS. Looks good.

TIA.
