Default IS WIng for a GS?

I was just over at IS300.net and saw this wing:




This is nice and subtle and only cost $99.00. Do they make a wing this small for the 2nd Gen GS?

I was looking at the WinRacing wing but it's $600.00!!!! I'm looking for $250 - painted.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey Darius, you can buy the GS Sport Design rear wing that looks exactly like that from Steve Ganz and it will be perfect because it's actually an OEM Lexus item.... Good luck!

Darius,

I'd invite you to try the ClubLexus search feature for 'sportdesign spoiler'. I suspect you'll find lots of pics that way

Bunch of threads in 30 secs, including some in the classifieds (sold now, sorry) and info on replicas that are less $$.

I just searched and found that the lip I'm looking for is the TTE lip for 279.00/.




Sorry Jon

Dave, no replicas for me. I don't want it to fly off @ 95 mph!

I doubt it would fly off. These wings are small and light so the 3M double-sided tape would be enough to keep them on. You'd probably have a hard time getting it off. The replicas at spoilerdepot are half the price of the TTE and a mere fraction of the 1k+ price at the dealership.

I also found it interesting that you are looking at subtle wings but considered the Win Racing one. That one is NOT subtle.

Thanks for the links, only $215 shipped and painted!

Hi Neo, this is the WinRacing wing I was referring to:
By "subtle" I meant; flat on the trunk, no 3rd brake light, no metal bars lifting it 8 inches off the trunk.



For the GS.....

Gotcha. It is definitely a wing you would notice, though, since it is not so small. It sticks out farther than you think. Have you seen it at different angles?

I haven't seen any of the wings in person It's really that pronounced?

In that case I think I'll stick with the $215 wing. Thanks!

Well, reserve judgement until you see it. You can see it at EOS v.3 and decide. I really like it but that's me. Here are a few other angles for ya.
