Hey guys. Does anyone know whether the stock OEM spoiler on the 98-00 GS400 is the same as the stock OEM spoiler on the 01+ GS430? I know they look similar, but my sense is that they are not exactly the same. It seems that the 98-00 has a slight rise to it (towards the front of the car), but the 01+ does not. Any thoughts?

e-man

 

I believe all oem spoilers are the same, when you see a difference it's probably aftermarket vs. oem.

 

i am not 100% sure, but i always thought they are all the same for all yrs. eman, are you sure it's not the installation? my 98 has factory spoiler and it looks very level

 

Well, I know the base of the factory OEM spoiler (i.e., the one one cars without a third brake light in the window) on 98-00 GS400s has a slight rise to it going from the back of the car to the front of the car. However, when looking at some 01+ GS430s, it seems that the rise isn't there (again, with the factory spoiler -- no third brake light in the window).

 

ummm, there is? coz' i have looked at my 98 gs4 before, the gap on the spoiler base it's even. i can take a look again when i see the car

 

Yeah. There's a slight angle. I think it has something to do with the mounting brackets, but I'm not completely sure. Anyway, if you stand off to the side of your trunk and look at the base of the spoiler, it should be flush with the trunk at the back of the trunk and slightly angle up as it goes forward towards the rear window. On some 01 430s I've been looking at, I don't see the rise, and I kind of like the rise.

 

cool, i will try to take a look when i get the chance
