Boot Spoiler

[hector-uk]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question, especially to those who have the boot spoiler from lexus. I was looking to get this fitted, hopefully soon but when i went to the body shop, which is separate from lexus they told me that if i get the boot spoiler installed, Lexus highly recommend in getting a new brake light as the spoiler would obstruct the current brake light.

This would increase the cost by around £200 for the extra part and installation.

Although there would be the usual brake lights at the rear on either side, Lexus say that most people look at the central brake light and if it is covered by the spoiler then may cause accidents?? I didn't know if they were being serious or if it was an early April Fools joke??

What do you guys think?

Thanks for any advice

and where would this new brake light be fitted? just above the current one?? sounds like BS to me but i am willing to be corrected.

Chris. S - got more info on this????

Yeah, the body shop weren't too sure themselves since they had never done one before, but i think it goes above the current brake light in the rear windscreen.

Not sure though. I thought it may have been something incorporated into the spoiler but i was told it is a separate part completely.

If you've purchased a genuine Lexus spoiler it should look like this

Which is only a lip spoiler and is not high enough to require its own brake lamp, thus the one in the rear window is above the height of the spoiler
