Question Anyone know where to find this rear spoiler?

Hello all,

New here and was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I unfortunately have the F-Sport model that came with a pre-installed spoiler. As many already know, Lexus/Toyota drills holes in the trunk to install this spoiler which limits our aftermarket spoiler choices. There's one spoiler I've been searching hard to find and have been unsuccessful at doing so. I figured maybe someone here may recognize it and direct me to where it can be found.



As you can see in the included pics, this spoiler is like the AR/highkick Style spoilers out there but differs in design due to covering more of the back of the trunk lid. If you look closely, you can see that the back of the spoiler extends further down and curves around the Lexus "L" emblem on the trunk. This means it covers the edge where the holes are pre-drilled.

If anyone has any ideas on where to find this spoiler, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

It kind of appears to be a Seibon Carbon piece:

I've looked at the Seibon spoiler (which does cover the holes too) and although similar, they are 2 different styles. Now I do like the Seibon spoiler and it is probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite overall, but not a huge fan of the price for what it is. I was hoping to find the spoiler I'm searching for at a lower price point.... with the possibility of it being an ABS mold that's easily paint matched.

Definitely appreciate the response though! Hopefully someone stumbles upon this thread and recognizes this spoiler lol.

I've seen that "TRD Style spoiler" and am not a fan. IMO that spoiler looks too out of place and is poorly designed (eg: Bulkiness, HUGE gaps around the rear emblem, extra bulkiness on the sides). I prefer the sleeker look of the AR style and Artisan Spirit spoilers which is why I specifically am looking for the one I posted.

I've also seen some third party sellers incorrectly display a pic of this spoiler on their sales ads but found them to actually be selling the regular AR Style spoiler without the curve in the rear. I find it really frustrating that Lexus would drill holes in such a poor location on their cars. Why they would not have drilled them on the top flat surface puzzles me.

Less likely to have water intrusion?

I could see that being the case if they were solely drilled on the rear side of the trunk (vertically drilled) but the holes are along the edge of the trunk. A properly taped/sealed spoiler shouldn't have issues with water intrusion. From a structural integrity standpoint, holes drilled on the flat surface paired with properly placed 3M tape should provide more rigid support. But I'm not an engineer so I can't say for sure. My guess is it had something to do with the design plans of the spoiler and the way they used that stud setup. Just another questionable design choice similar to the joystick/touchpad instead of just having a touchscreen and the lack of Apple CarPlay/AA until 21+ models.
