Wow the spacers make the fitment look so much better.

Thanks, I think they make a huge difference too! I did 25mm up front and 20mm rear.

Sent you a pm with the details, but both were off of eBay. The trunk spoiler is called a “sport wing spoiler” and comes ready to paint. Definitely post up some pics which ever route you go.

Not sure if you saw the post in the general forum section, but I kinda like the front splitter NIA rolled out. Here’s a link to the product.

So been looking around and I kind like this spoiler. However I have found two others that are much cheaper but very clean looking.

The second one you posted is the one I have on my car. If you get that one you’ll need a heat to put it on. But here’s what it look like on the car.

Looks good! Did you get it with paint match? I know black is hard to match up but just wanted to know how it turned out? Thanks for the pictures and your car car looks so good!!

Also have a rear window spoiler. It’s a little more subtle than most. I forgot who made it. But it was purchased of Ebay. And don’t mind the Si in the background lol.

Aeroflow dynamics extensions wrapped matte black. To match the front lip and diffuser. I have a build thread if you wanna check out the car. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...ld-thread.html

They are more subtle and I can still get on the alignment rack. If I were to get any of the others that would not happen. I was 1/4” from at the center of the car when putting it on to get aligned. Now the lip on the other hand I scrape all the time
