Default Lexon roof spoiler installed... (*56k maybe)

Thanks to Joe and his staff at Backyard Creations for another job well done and satisfied customer. Note for any lexon roof spoiler they had to block sand it down to make it smooth. Some cheaper places may only paint the spoiler without smoothing out the waviness of the fiber. Joe definitely does NOT cut corners.

On to the pics!

Waiting for them to prep the spoiler:


Spoiler installed with 2 types of 3m double sided tape since it was slightly warped. After some work by there guys it came out perfectly level and was a smooth install.


Doesn't she look sexxy!


Another shot in the sun


Free advertising for Joe. lol


See you guys at the meet this sunday!

depends where you get it from and where you get it painted.. the spoiler can cost anywhere from $250-600. Paint another $100-300.

Our CL vendor Carson Lexus has them in stock. The Groupbuy price is probably over but they still give discounts.

I have to agree that this particular roof spoiler adds to the 2gen.

Nice roof spoiler! It actually looks nice with the shark fin even though some may not like it.

what happen to the Lexon emblem? Is yours a replica?

I have one too by the way. I was on the initial GB held by Carson a while back.
