Rear Spoiler

[joachim_tang]

I am thinking of add a rear spoiler to my IS300h FSport White, anyone have any advices ???? I like the gsf rear spoiler type, which is like on the top of trunk, not touching the Lexus badge. I have been searching on websites and most of them are touching the badge, not the style like the gsf.

Thanks :)

My personal view, spoilers are called spoilers because they spoil the look of any car :)

Even on a GTR, getting rid of the spoiler improves the cars look 10 fold.

I fitted this type. It looks exactly the same as the OEM Lexus type except the price! I think it looks superb on an Fsport IS300 & looks factory (dealer) fitted as some IS300`s are supplied.

Here is a quick snap apols the Fsport has been earning its keep over the last few days so needs a wash. I think the spoiler looks the dogs. Cost around £200 fitted.

No holes to drill!! I used body kit adhesive. Tigerseal or Sikaflex.

Is it just use some glue do car bodywork would be great and just stick the spoiler on the trunk is stable ??? As I just checked on owner manual, it mentioned that need to drill holes

You drill holes into your boot lid if you want to. You asked me how I fixed mine and I have told you!!

This kind of stuff

You are welcome. I was on another forum for my previous car and a guy on there did drill holes but ballsed it up so had to make the bigger with a file it look terrible. Modern adhesives are the way to go. The Lexus spoiler weighs very little so doesn't need bolting on.

Fsport IS300H may not be any different under the skin although the suspension is stiffer. It is more of a trim level same as Rsport on the Jag XE which may well be my next car. As much as I like the Lexus I never want the same car again. The GS is an option but it doesnt appeal.

Enjoy

For the is300h, what is the front and rear suspension ???? Are they good or need improvements ??? And apart from the original fsport spoiler, any other you have seen ??? I like the spoiler not covering the Lexus Badge on the trunk, like the style the new GS fsport now. :)
