I dunno. I got it for fun, but if i were to put it, probably in the middle of the rear glass towards the bottom.

Maybe it's time to unload my GS...

It looks like a great product.(roof spoiler) Someone else had a thread and was very pleased with it. I don't understand why people keep knocking everyone who buys a great product at a great price. Not everybody can afford to get JP tails for $1100, so they buy them on e-bay for $300. And I believe the same company in Japan probably makes them both. Hope your spoiler works for you.

Thanks and yeah i agree with you. You don't see everyone complaining about people with LED tails on their GS compared to the JP ones. Cheaper, and looks good.

When you say Honda mods on a lexus, I take it as riced out. Like putting a saleen double deck spoiler on a lexus, undercarriage lights when its not necessary, Flame decals all over car, Euro tail lights, ect.

well said. i think some people just want that name brand and are willing to pay the high prices that come with it, while others really don't care. To each his own, i guess...

That would be me (roof spoiler). The fitment is excellent and the spoiler itself looks factory.




If I wanted to, I could have purchased a $500 roof spoiler. But why purchase a $500 spoiler when the $149 spoiler is of the same quality?? The only variation would be an etched moniker underneath that no one will be able to see once attached to the vehicle. If the same can be had for less, the smart money will go for the value leader. Call me a miser lol. Now, there are some folks who will purchase high dollar parts just to get noticed, satisfy their ego, or to be placed on some proverbial pedestal. On the other side of the coin, there are folks who purchase high dollar parts for quality, aesthetics, exclusivity. We all spend our money differently.. Different stroke for different folks. Ones level of mods does not truly depict their financial situation. Some use cash while others use plastic, you just don't know. Happy modding

Why are you guys assuming that sticker is going on the GS? Maybe he's gonna put it in his garage or frig?

Anyways, post pics after the installs please.

Just got the proper one in today. Obviously, not painted yet, but this should allow you to see the fitment and style...although it is just sitting on the glass/roof with nothing to hold it in place.

Sure will! I wasn't going to put it on my car period. I was going to put it on my clipboard at work in my office, but I have to see how it'll look on the rear glass. Ill show you if i decide to put it on my car.

Good luck with the fitment of the roof spoiler; not much in favor of the decal sticker.
