Default Front Spoiler for RX350

Purchased the spoiler from Carson/Japan and had my brother install it this past week. While they said it was a simple job, it took 4 hours to do (not so simple). Let me know how you like it

not bad at all! you need to complete the look - sideskirts, rear lip, larger wheels and a small drop - and it will look awesome.

Looks good could you post a picture from further back, with the whole car showing.

Thanks

wow, I'm so jealous, it looks great. Did it come pre painted or did you have to get it matched? I just checked the Carson site and didnt find anything for the 2010, where can I get a hook up? are you planning on attending any North East Lexus Owners Club meetings in the near future? I would really like to check it out.

4 hours is a really long time for just a under spoiler

I will post some more pics today. You have to call Carson and ask for Luis he will help you. It does come prepainted and the price is $1,300. I did consider the other body moldings, but I really just did not like the way the front of the RX looked and the spoiler just seemed to finish it. When you look at other SUV's they come with the spoiler.. not sure why lexus doesn't just come with it.

nice, absolutely different from all other RX. larger wheels should really complement the new addition.

Thanks for the pictures, that looks really sharp. Gives the car a beefier look.

$1,300!?!?!

Did it come with install instructions? Did you have to drill or glue? 4 hours does seem like a lot of time...

I think overall it looks good. I too have a little bit of a problem with the emptyness in the lower front. (sorta like the backend of the new Camaro) But, I'm not sure of that fix. It does look good, but still seems to be missing something Also, is this going to hinder the mileage or creat a new noise in anyway? Just my .02.

Unfortunately there were no instructions, that is why it took 4 hours. Now that we know how to do it, it should only take about an hour. Yes, you do have to drill and there is two faced tape that is also included. As far as any new noise that 1NEAT SC asked - I have not noticed anything new. Thanks for all the comments.
