Default Spoiler alert!!!!!! Show me your spoiler please!!!!!!

I just purchased a 2016 ES350 in Nebula Grey Pearl. I love the ES but think it needs something to make it pop a little so I ordered an OEM spoiler already color matched for $184 from a Lexus Dealer. I am dreading installing it but I cant wait to see it on. I also plan on getting the lightest tint available to give the car a slight smokey look and some UV ray protection.
I have seen a couple of ES's with spoilers but would love to see some more......please post pics of your spoilers!!!!

I would like to get one as well. And since my ES is white I might get the roof blacked out.

I have seen some white ones with the spoiler and to me it is a no brainer....they look good on white. I also like the white and black combo......my roof is blacked out......I really like that look.

Thanks, it came with the car, but I imagine the install wouldn't be too difficult.

I got my spoiler in the mail and havent really combed through the installation instructions.......but I did not see a template. Drilling into the trunk of a $50k car might make me a bit nervous.

Eventhough the spoiler is small it definitely makes the car look better.

It's not a huge difference, but personally I like the look of the car with the spoiler.

Absolutely... this pic isn't a direct shot from the side, but it's the closest thing I had available. Hope this helps.

YES! But especially notice the side moldings.
I think they make a bigger visual impact than the spoiler. They're directly available from Lexus, color coded, easy to install, and cheap (~$100).
Plus they actually protect the sides of the car.

I purchased my ES at the end of November, and will install a spoiler in the spring when it warms up a bit. I have noticed that Lexus seems to have 3 separate parts, spoiler in my color, Part Number: PT47A3313038 , spoiler installation kit, Part Number: PT47A33131 (template), and spoiler hardware kit, Part Number: PT47A33130AB . I will probably also go with the body side molding.

I gave in and went to the dealership and bought the spoiler and body side molding kit 2 weeks ago.
I just finished installing the spoiler and body side moldings. It was a bit stressful to drill 4 holes in my trunk, but after measuring more times than necessary it went on smoothly. A quick thanks to member rmak.
The body side molding was not as bad, but after measuring 3 times it went well. Just a quick picture. It needs a thorough cleaning, but that will be another day.
