Thanks and they're just black plugs I used to plug the holes from my previous lux spoiler, they're temporary. I actually have some flush plugs I'm going to paint and color match so that the plugs aren't so obvious lol. Yeah I'm still on the fence with blacking out the window trim, for now it still leaves a little of the luxury/Lexus look to the car and I kind of like that. I'm sure I will probably do it eventually though when I'm bored!

DDDaaammmmnnn...mine took 3 days within the U.S. even after I paid for express shipping smh. Nice! Definitely need to post pics once it's on! SN - if it just tapes on, get 3M VHB tape. I did for my spoiler and I don't think it's ever coming off...even if I were to try to take it off haha.

Yeah I'll probably put it on tonight, I've used the 3m tape for spoilers on other cars and it never moved a inch. Can't remember if I removed the backing of the tape after I had already placed the spoiler on the trunk.

I removed the 3M backing partially before and then the rest after. This is how I've always done it and never had issues.

I'm blown away guys, I got this tonight and already put this on. If you are looking for a spoiler go thru that seller, unreal shipping time! He even has painted spoilers. I may order a roof one. Just installed it, took me 5 minutes, put a number of these on over the years. Perfect fitment, looks incredible. Sorry for the lighting its getting dark here.

Great to hear about the shipping times, fitment and how it looks. I think you just sold another one for them!

Where did you get your trunk emblem?

The emblem is dipped sapphire black, and the inserts were also purchased off ebay. If I'm being really picky like I usually am with parts, in the sun there is some flaw in a area of the clearcoat, but it only shows in certain light. Overall it looks really good and fitment is good too.

Heres some more pics. Its really easy to install, the hardest part is making sure its alligned properly. What I did was put the spoiler in place, and at the top edges of the spoiler I put tape on the car and layered it up. So when you are ready to install you put the corners into the tape and it will be alligned the way you want. I use 3m tape and line the back of it and pull off strips so when the spoiler is on the car you can pull the strips and it will reveal the tape and you can press it down once its in the right position. Took me 5 minutes.
