Now that you have it, any concerns about peeling? anyone else have thoughts? Clearly this is about half price of the OEM....
You can buy the spoiler and have it painted at your local body shop if you don't like/trust their paint.

I'm not a paint expert by any means, but paint job looks really good as far as I can tell. They said it has three coats plus clear coat. I don't know if that's true, it looks really good though. I was concerned before I ordered it, but glad I did. I'd say save some cash and go for it. I want the color matched roof spoiler next and don't feel worried at all about ordering one.

true, but at that point the OEM lexus from Sewell would have been cheaper and then I will just be kicking myself....but I may do it and say what the heck. It leaves more money for another mod....

Do it! I mean for the price you can get the trunk spoiler and roof spoiler for the same price as the OEM trunk spoiler. That's my plan. I'm all for OEM parts, but if you can save a few dollars here and there on aftermarket pieces why not.

i see, thanks for the inputs and very nice IS. so you had some body work done on the rear quarters?

btw off subject, but if you have the time... who makes a grill for an 09 is250? it seems like everyone stops at 08. =[

She means sometimes work on the spoiler needs to be done to make it fit flush on the car.

I know I probably just need to search but I've been REALLY wanting the WALD rear spoiler but there's no way I can afford it. Has anyone figured out which is the "best" replica wald spoiler?

Yes I have body work on my rear quarters. They were raised a bit out of custom fiberglass to meet the height of the spoiler.

LX Mode makes a front grille for the 09' but it's expensive. Over $400

Sffd103 you are the man, always answering my questions haha, but price isnt an issue with me, as long as it is quality parts. i'll prolly just see how the spoiler looks without the molding, but if it bothers me. prolly end up going your route.
