Just wondering if there was something I could do to fix the yellowing of the wind deflector in my sc430? I used Windex, alcohol, plastic cleaner, I'm stumped. I suppose I could buy a brand new one but maybe there's something you guys are using that I'm not to clean the poly glass. Even all the used wind deflectors on ebay are yellow. Anyone try tinting theirs? thoughts?

I am trying to picture the “wind deflector” you are referring to. You are not talking about the rear spoiler are you?

The plexi-glass thing in between the rear headrest.

Gotcha! I have read somebody had a new plexiglass cut to replace the spoiler. And was able to put in some graphics as well. In short, you should be able to find a place who can do this for you. Or perhaps you can apply tint on it?

You might try a headlight lens cleaner kit. The chemical in those seems to clear up yellowing.

I have seen them replaced with ones that are engraved with Lexus logos and lit from below. Pretty cool... but can't find them online. Looks like the picture below only the same size of the original
... was white light on a black 430.

Those may be custom done.

I think this is the link y'all are looking for.

Shawnok, is the one who had done this mod.

Cool. Anyone have a source or know where to get the taller wind deflector that was available in Japan for the Soarer?

you could make a cardboard pattern in the height you want. Then get it custom cut at your local glass shop. I'm sure it would be tons cheaper.

That's exactly what another member did, it worked out fine.

I did something similar on another car. Cut a piece of thick plexiglas, had the edges flame polished then had a laser engraver cut the name/logo. I provided a digital file of the name/logo. Actually did this several times. One with clear (to be backlit) and another in metal. Provided the metal one with masking tape on it (painted the metal before applying tape). Back filled the name/logo once laser cut. After that high-temp paint dried, peeled the tape. Came out great.
