I have mine off, as I find it unnecessary for almost all road travel in the USA. Having it pop up above 55 mph is a little embarrassing and laughable for a retired GM MPG Durability Test Driver. I'm not sure it has much effect at speeds of 85 mph and below. I drove a lot of vehicles for a lot of years at much higher speeds with no spoiler downforce. I'll be okay without it. I guess it would be for track day only. And this is no track car.

 

I don’t even have a spoiler 🙁. Just out of curiosity have you been on the Test Track ride at EPCOT? One of my favorite rides at Disney

GatorGreg ,I have not been on the Disney Test Track ride. All my test track driving was done at the GM Milford Proving Grounds ( MPG ) and their testing roads. Of which there are well over 100 miles. They do have a 4.5-mile perfect circle track there that has an 18-degree bank in the upper lanes though . The Proving Grounds had rules about top lane driving . They wanted helmets and emergency vehicles present. Little did they know, how many times the resident drivers broke that rule.

 

LOL, I thought MPG was miles per gallon - thanks for clarifying. Is that where Jay Leno went 200 mph? I’m envious of your job!

 

ha, i thought disney test track was completely lame.

it's been 10 years since i was at epcot though, maybe they've changed it. last time i was at epcot, i found it so hopelessly dated... disney needs to spend a billion or more to upgrade it imo.

 

since i don't even see it while driving, i leave it to do its thing. doesn't bother me. i still think it's cool and james bond like.

 

I keep mine up permanently 24/7 as of now. I just like the way it looks.

 

I kept mine up until recently. I put it back down and can't seem to make my mind up. Different angles look good while other angles don't.

 

Can you actually turn the spoiler off from the cabin? Or do you have to remove a fuse or something? Just curious. I don't want a spoiler, but the bespoke car I'm considering has it. The performance package is a deal-breaker for me (don't want RWS nor VGRS. And Alcantara seats are also a deal-breaker), so this is pretty much the only possibility of getting a spoiler, so curious if you can actually turn it off from inside. Thanks.

 

Yes you can turn it off with the spoiler up or down.

 

I also let my spoiler do its thing. I’m sure it has no effect on my handling but it looks good.

 

I let the spoiler also do its thing. I can only image it helped while I was allegedly doing 145mph on the interstate.

I can image Lexus adding such an expensive option without serious research on the benefit.

I get complements on the spookier where its up all the time

 

I let it do its thing also. Lexus engineers know what they're doing.
It's a little pretentious to leave it up all the time, IMO.

 

I have mine disabled in the menu. I don't like the way it looks when it's deployed, all that exposed black plastic underneath looks unsightly to me. I only re-enable it when i cross borders for high speed driving runs where the downforce might actually matter

 

My Porsche has one, put it up sometimes if hot out,,,never leave it up when parked at stores..just asking for someone with a big a__ to sit on it...nice cars are a big magnet for haters.
