I like the spoiler. Bought mine (non F-Sport) and rode it for 2+ years without a spoiler, then bought a spoiler which sat for a good month until i actually put it on. Now that it's been on a month or so, I like it a lot better with it. My 2c. Honestly you can't go wrong either way.

You didnt ask, but i recently saw a red GS as above with a chrome delete and it looked REALLY good. Hadn't seen a red without the chrome and man it looked cool.

Hi agree. Mine came without the spoiler which I thought really softened up the rear end, making the rear end look very bland and plain. I pulled the trigger and got the spoiler and boy, it totally changes the entire look of the car.

I wonder why Lexus didn't pull a spoiler as standard equipment.

Spoiler alert! It looks better with.

Now for the next question: which spoiler?
The thin one, or the one that bolts on and wraps around the trunk emblem?

Car looks way better with a spoiler, even a pretty mild one, without it, it kind of looks a little bland. I am in the process of painting my spoiler and some other parts and will attach it in a week or two.

I loved the big spoiler on my 2nd Gen GS430, just made the car look so nice, the ones without the spoiler looked so plain to me. Most people agreed too.

I've got a 2015 F Sport which comes with a spoiler. I think if the spoiler on my car was bigger the car would look better.

I agree, I think they should have went a little bigger and more aggressive with the F sport spoiler, it is a bit too small. I decided on a slightly larger spoiler then what is on the F sport to put on my Luxury which I think is a accessory for regular Lexus models. It has a little lip around the logo and part of it attaches to the back of the trunk as well as the top.

Since the GS series is supposed to be the sportier Lexus sedan they should have put the current F Sport spoiler on all the GS models and an enlarged spoiler on the F Sport. It is not good when a fwd Camry looks sportier than our GS350s.

I think it looks best with a spoiler, and prefer the smaller, F Sport spoiler to the larger one.

Totally agree, not just the Camry but the GS looks too close to the ES in many ways, a spoiler standard on the GS would help differentiate them a little more.

There's actually a bunch of spoiler options available for the 4GS but not all are OEM:
OEM F-Sport
OEM non F Sport
TRD: http://trdparts.jp/english/lexus/***...r-spoiler2.jpg
Artisan Spirits: https://www.vividracing.com/images/AS-SLCFTSP-L10.jpg
WALD: http://www.waldusa.com/wp-content/up...013-2014-8.jpg

Personally feel the WALD spoiler makes the biggest "look at me" statement - while the TRD is a mashup between the two OEM spoilers.

Has anyone put that TRD spoiler on their GS, does it fit the pre 2016's?

Should fit. Rear dimensions didn't change during the refresh, just the tail lights.

Has the following larger rear spoiler available. Does this mean the Japanese Domestic Market gets larger rear spoilers on their GS F Sport than we do here in the USA?

Lexus GS F Sport Rear Spoiler

  • Brand: LEXUS
  • Product Code: 19665
