I'm going to say it because no one else will ..

Replicas are stolen intelectual property. It has a very negative affect on the auto scene, puts real R&D companies out of business, and prevents many from ever starting. Replicas should not be supported. The quality of these products are often even downgrades for a Lexus. Fewer original products are far superior to many knockoffs.

Yeah I’m sure TRD spent money and stuff to develop the products, but still the prices are intense. In general you’re right though when it comes to smaller companies, but for really big companies it’s not the end of the world.

Items has since arrived, not the perfect fit but definitely came as expected and I couldn't be happier so far with the purchase and the price. I would probably install it tomorrow and then I will take some picture

Cool, let us know on the fitment and install.

yup, exactly my thoughts, I was actually thinking of getting the original and was shocked by the price difference... I was thinking maybe 4-500 and that is already very expensive but not even close..

Fitment was pretty good, go all the way from one corner of trunk perfectly to the other corner, only thing is at both corner, they dont follow the line of the trunk exactly but not a big deal..

i **** up my install, didnt have a marker on the trunk and it was slanted, used a lot of goo gone and 1-2 hours of trying to tear off tape from both trunk n spoiler 😢 will try again when new 3m tape come on Monday..

spray with some soap eater or cleaner to move the piece around while taping it. It makes it easier to take them on and off. And let it dry out.

I think there appears to be two different, but very similar duck bill spoilers available on ebay.

There is this one (My Fav)

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/FOR-14-18-LE...7:pf:0&vxp=mtr

and this one:

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/FOR-2014-201...4:pf:0&vxp=mtr

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong as I want to order the first one mentioned.

I had that spoiler for a few days. The quality is pretty good, and great for the price, but it was just too tall for my liking. It's bigger than what it looks like in pix.

That would be my question -- do the Artisan/duckbill ones block rear vision at all, and if so how much? It's rather restricted as it is with the high back end.

I don't think it's big enough to block vision, I just think it looks bigger on the car than in pix, and if you don't have more/larger add-on things, like a front splitter, rear diffuser, and wheels/tires, then it simply looks out of place.

I have the first link above installed on my car and it’s not restrictive at all. You can only see about an inch or so of it at my seat height when I look in the rear view.
