what does the roof spoiler do? Beside saving weight on the vehicle.

It's for looks only. Does not save weight, does not add horsepower, does not help with aero (I say this because I have never seen any aero testing published by a Lexus aftermarket company, may even make it worse).

It only adds sexy.

Mainly for looks, sometimes to save some weight and even less frequent is both.

Thanks! I ordered the part from Carson Toyota. I think there was a GB at the time, so I can't remember the exact price.

I love this quote.

Adding the roof spoiler makes the rear windshield look shorter, giving it a sportier look (IMO).
