Default Shark fin spoiler

Do any of you think that by putting a shark fin spoiler would make a gs300 look good?? I was just curious... Does anyone have one on or can somebody do a photoshop to see if it will look good??

thansk in advance!

you have pictures?


I have a JDM explosion trunk spoiler. like this...

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1565

If interested let me know. it sells for $400.00 new.

Its in pretty good condition for its age, its fiberglass no rot. I purchased it last year but decided it wouldn't match the kit I was targeting.

purchase of the item plus shipping was around $325.00 USD. make me a reasonable offer plus exact and your cost for shipping to you.

i dont think it'd look good - it might flow with a darker colored gs but even then, it'd still kinda stick out

It looks better on a bmw. Just as fender gills belong on Euro cars.

those were never intended to be spoilers, they have absolutely nothing to do with the aerodynamic properties of a car


they are antenna's... if you do not need an antenna, then why put one on your poor lexus ?

3 posts up. They're antennas. I don't know if BMW uses them as a regular antenna or if they're XM capable but I would figure they're XM capable considering they're on new BMW's and they're placed in the same spot as most after-market XM antennas. But Im sure they could be both pending on the options the car comes with and as far as after-market, they're may be someone who makes them as functional XM antennas vs. the company's who make them solely for looks

Could somebody with photoshop do this chop real quick since it's super small and quick
