Nice car, I've got a same color too.

Question for you. I've just got my rear spoiler last Friday from the group buy ($180). But I have trouble to read that Japanese manual. I know I need to have 2 holes each side and I am going to do that.

What I don’t understand is the “T” shape needle that comes with the installation kit. Should I just hammer them in ? And which side should go first? Thank you, and hope you understand my explanation.

Francis, email me. I can email you the english instructions.

Those are rivets. You need a rivet gun. I bought one from Sears for $10 bucks. Also bought a small pack of rivets to practice on as well since I never used them.

Nice work Silverbullet! Looks great!

Tell me, please, how difficult was the install? How much time? And do you need an extra person for help? Appreciate any extra details about the process. Thanks!

Time, 30-45 minutes, extra hand helps. Basically taping the paper on the car where it should be and following the instructions to detail, it all worked out perfect. No fitment problems.

The instructions is all you need really.

Depend on which spoiler you have. But there are three screws (left, middle and right) with cap covers. Its just screwed on to the end of the car roof.

All buy and sell go in classified .. Please check there.

Also early RX owners complained about noise due to spoiler, so Lexus came up with different spoilers.

Hi Joe;
Welcome to the forum. You may or may not have noticed that this thread is about 15 years old. Kevin Spacey was still a respected actor when the original posts were made.

It appears that the OP might not have this vehicle any longer...
