Default questions about the optional spoiler

I haven't been able to find pictures with the optional spoiler.
If any of you owners have the spoiler option, I would appreciate it if you can post the pictures. Also if anyone has been able to compare the difference in handling with and without the spoiler that would be greatly appreciated also. On the lexus site, it says it slightly lowers the coefficient of drag, so I am wondering if that helps with wind noise with both the top down and top up, along with wind buffeting and turbulance with the top down. Thanks

For some ideas with/without the spoiler, look here: https://www.clublexus.com/cgi-bin/ph...at=504&thumb=1 . There are other more technical guys out here than I, but I doubt the spoiler has much effect on noise, etc -- appears to be more of a performance/appearance thing. You may not really end up having a choice with or without a spoiler based on what comes in -- you may want to really check with your dealer on that. All shipments were coming with a spoiler on (all options) when I bought mine late last year...
