Most wings (wing or lip) are for show, not function.
And lip spoilers are cheaper to produce, and easier to install.
It's part fad, part economics, part OEM-personalization.

Fast & Furious is not a good look. Like Philip said, that stuff is generally all show, no go. Too much show. On a luxury car, understated is what most people are going for. Unless you're actually sponsored and race your Lexus on a track (with a GS, why?), don't go the fast and the furious route.

I agree with everyone above, plus large wing spoilers are for WRX's and Evo's, you buy a luxury car, which is what the L in Lexus stands for, you personalize in style.

I prefer the subtle look of the lip spoiler as well.

I'll donate $5 if you wanna slap a wing to the trunk of your car . . .
