I just installed this one a few days ago, here in Chicago land, easy install using rivets. 4pc kit carbon, wheel spacers and exhaust. It’s all from China but looks, sounds great. And if I hit something with the front lip spoiler, it’s cheap to replace. That’s all I need l.

The car is beautiful. I believe one should exercise caution when pop riveting carbon fiber to a work of art. Sometimes more is not better.

Keep talking like that and those modders will burn you at the stake. They get real partial to their stick on O'Reilly geegaws

I'm not a fan of the pop riveting, but it is your vehicle to do what you may. It looks okay with the car. I have the performance package on mine. So it has the pop up spoiler and I have it turned off. Having the spoiler pop up at 55 mph is shameful boy racer stuff. For an older gentleman running 80 mph down the interstate along with all the other three-cylinder (1200 cc ) turbo vehicles that don't have one, and they seem to be able to stay on the road. Makes me and the LC 500 look foolish. Having a different view is my pleasure!

I wouldn't mind the permanent rear spoiler (carbon-addicts) to help with closing the trunk. Don't really think its necessarily a benefit for the convertible, more just aesthetics (not sure if it affects airflow with the top down). Otherwise maybe I'll just add some clear 3M tape on the top of the brake light to prevent scratches on the upper portion of the lens.
