installation is easy provided you follow the directions. double sided tape works well also. it's only a small lip spoiler so the 3m tape should hold it on good. i highly doubt it'll fall off either unless you screwd up and just didn't stick it on right. if theres too much space between the trunk and the spoiler.. then it wouldn't even be on. what will the 3m tape be sticking together? im sure you can get it done somewhere else also... different places, different prices. im sure any bodyshop can do it.

My spoiler came in the mail today from Longo Lexus. It has complete instructions and also has a template for drilling holes in the trunk. I know it sux to drill holes but I wouldn't want it to fall off...I know there's a video on streetfire showing this on what looked like a white Mitsu Eclipse or 3kgt.

I got it as part of my deal to make the purchase of my 06' IS350. Sorry, I never asked how much the spoiler was.

In fact, I just installd it about 10 minutes ago. It's midnight and it should look great in the daylight. It took me a total of 50 minutes. I took my time and rechecked that the spoiler was dead center.

Without a doubt, get the spoiler. When I see an IS now without one, it looks like something is missing.

I just picked up my 2007 IS 250 Black/Black (no spoiler) and it looks so sweet, I don't think I want to mess it up by adding a spoiler. Also, the shark fin adds a sense of sportiness to the car.
