BTW, be very leery of the link you posted. They are using a genuine Lexus pict and labeling it as there own

I bought one similar to this and have had no issues and have had it installed for >1 year.
Confirmed by Lexus that the spoiler is the same for 2015-2019 models.

I'd just not rather deal with taking the trunk liner apart and drilling holes. Wondering if the bolts are easily removable or if they have to be cut off.

They are flush with the spoiler and will not effect anything if left in place. You will do more damage to the spolier removing them than to the car by leaving them. You do not need to do anything with the trunk springs when installing the spoiler. The trunk liner takes less than 5 minutes to remove and replace if you decide to go that route.

Default Spoiler install without swapping springs?

Anyone install the spoiler notice if it's absolutely necessary to also swap the springs or will the trunk still open fully when popped with the original ones? Thanks.

OK...I just have to ask you, did you really feel it was necessary to start another thread just for that question?!?! Why could you not ask that question with your other spoiler thread?? I really don't want to be rude, but I felt I needed to ask....

Completely unrelated to the spoiler(Which is installed on my car btw), but I recently installed one of those digital license plates from reviver auto and my trunk now doesnt open the way it used to where it would take a slight nudge to open, but now you need to lift it the whole way.

You're right. How do I delete this thread?

This spoiler is not at all what I would call big or heavy by any means. If you use the appropriate tape and adhesion promoter before installing, there is no way it will come off. At least it has worked for us.
Hi there. The ebay link doesn't work. Can you share the seller on ebay? If there a paint option or is it unpainted only? Thanks.

I would say it is not.

No, there is no painted option that I know of. And unfortunately I can't remember the seller, but search eBay for OEM type RC Spoiler, several will come up. No, we didn't change any springs and our trunk pops and rises like it should.
