just curious if there are premarked spots on the tailgate to drill for the spoiler? i know on my hondas there are indentions on the lid. thanks

 

Not that I know of.

 

Nope, you need to kind of eye-ball them based on the locations of the holes on the spoiler. Or just use some 3M double sided tape, pray, and avoid automatic carwashes...

 

could someone take a pic of their tailgate open where it mounts? screws or bolts? thanks

 

As far as i can tell, there's only one bolt per side? I just took a pic of my tailgate opened up.

 

Just did mine a few weeks ago. It's 2 bolts on the top and 2 plastic pop rivets on the bottom. I masked the areas to prevent any scratches placed 4 pieces of putty on the decklid then press the spoiler in place. Measure the distance to make sure it was close and started drilling. It worked out perfect.

 

I am interested in getting a spoiler as well. Where did you get yours and how much did it cost? Were you able to get it painted so that you only had to install?

 

so it looks like the holes go under the plastic grommets?

 

cd,how do you keep your RX so clean up their??

 

I found mine at a junk yard $100. Had it painted with the lower body so I am not sure of the price. The hardware 2 bolts and the plastic rivets were about $10 from Lexus.

 

ok so i got a used 01+ spoiler. called the nearest dealer and was told there is 2 types for that spoiler 1. oem factory 2. oem dealer accessory add on. both spoilers have 1 threaded hole on the top and double sided tape rest pads but the oem factory has push clips (like interior panels) where as the oem add on has rivets. i have the oem factory since the spoiler is used.

now my questions are. how hard is it to paint golden pearl 057 and how much should i expect to pay?
when installing it looks like i will need a rectangle hole for the clip. shoud i discard the clips and use only the 2 bolts and tape pads? or how would i make this hole?

anyone have pics of the clip portion going through the body?

 

give the spoiler to an auto-body shop and have them paint and install it. Should cost around $300-$500 for the whole thing.

To just paint it, probably $100-$200...

 

ok so after a month of sitting on this spoiler and multiple quotes of 200-650!! i decided to take matters into my own hands. i had paint mixed at a local auto color supplier and borrowed a spray gun from a guy at work. since the spoiler was used i had to remove the old adhesive pads, sand and fill scratches and prime first. i bought new hardware from lexus and used carbon tracing paper to make a template for the holes to cut.
once that was done i sprayed the spoiler. after 2 failed sprays (nozzle clogging, uneven paint) i got it. then i applied the clear and wetsanded and buffed. i have painted a few small items before so its not totally new to me. install was easy. 2 bolts, 2 clips, adhesive pads and some urethane sealant for a little added hold. overall i think it turned out well. total cost $122.53 for everything! pics later today

 

wow that looks great!

 

Just got a RX300 from mom. Looking to do spoiler. See if i Can find on ebay
