Why is it when you own a $40,000 car are you trying to save $100 on a spoiler? Buy the Lexus part and have the dealer install it. It will come out perfect, and if they hose it up, they are responsible. What am I missing?

Personally, if I can find a part/item that is exactly or very similar to an OEM part/item for a fraction of the stealership price, why not?? And if I can install is successfully myself?? Thats even BIGGER savings

I think its worth researching and surfing the net for a good deal, because not all of have extra bundles of cash laying around.

Problem is color matching and if u use 3m to put it on. might get jacked^. If anything id get it unpainted and have it perfectly colored match since you have TP, by your local shop

You are a manufacturer's wet dream. I'm sure in the past year you've paid $200 for a coolant flush and a nitrogen fill in your tires.

Since I payed a little over half of $40,000 for my car, I choose to pay a little over half of what the dealer would charge for a spoiler. I like to work in equal ratios.

+1, brought my trunk lip and roof lip from ebay and 100% satisfy, even the Lexus dealership complemented them and ask where can they could get one!

if you're worry bout paint match buy the one thats not painted and get it painted at a local paint shop you trust.
