I'm sorry but those spoilers look like something tacked on and they are not good looking. They take away from the looks of the LX. The original smaller flat spoilers were less noticable and did not take from the design of the LX.

Hmmm. I have had a spoiler in a box, painted ready for install in the garage for 30 days. I should at least open the box and make sure I got a spoiler. Will post once I get my **** in gear.

THREAD REVIVAL!
I'm order all the parts from Lexus and going to do the install myself. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the DIY instructions?
Thanks guys.

Sewell quoted us $572 I believe.
The first ebay spoiler doesn't come down in a smooth line. It comes down, then cuts in, with about an inch of flat edge at the bottom. Not close enough to OE for me. The Spoilersmart is the only replica I've seen that I would consider buying.
As far as the 3rd light, I don't really see what the big deal is. Just leave it. Who's going to be looking up under your spoiler and say, "dude you have a 3rd brake light because your spoiler is fake". Disco the power if you don't want double lighting at night.
The Spoilersmart one quotes 4-6 lbs.
Screw it. I'm going to order one in a couple of weeks. This weekend I'm at the Renaissance Festival and next week I'm in the ATL for a Falcons game. The weekend after that I'll plan on having it and installing it.

Nothing like re-starting a necro thread...
I wouldn't worry too much about spoiler "styling".
I own an '01 LX and a '13 Land Cruiser. The LX has an oem spoiler that works beautifully...i.e., it keeps the majority of bad weather off your back window as the gap between the spoiler and roof channels wind down over the back window.
The spoiler on the Cruiser is a PITA...no gap between spoiler bottom and rooftop. That creates a vacuum at the rear of the truck (google "Kamm effect". The vacuum tends to pull crap in toward the rear window. In a heavy storm the rear wiper can't cope with the crap.

Aero Wing for the Lexus LX470
We have sold/installed the Double Eight, Ardimento, & Elford - All of which are JDM (Japanese made). Price paid was normally higher than of what I see others posting because of shipping from Japan.
I just got an '03 LX470 and would love to have the spoiler/wing (with lights) installed on it. Love the look so much. Does anyone know where I can get a spoiler that fits 2003-2006 LX ? I checked with my Lexus dealer and the Parts manual shows it is no longer available from the factory. So I am looking for a factory/OEM spoiler, from a reputable shop, with the cost of the kit and install. I am in So Cal, so would appreciate a referral if you know of a good shop to have it done.
Loving the LX so far
BTW, this is the look I am looking for in attached image...
