Thanks for all the positive and negative feedback. The spoiler is not from an M5 but an M5 style spoiler. I used to own an Acura CL-S6 and that is what the rear lip spoilers were called on the Acura CL forum (sorry for the confusion). I haven't had a chance to drive the car past 50 and longer than half a mile yet so I can't say much about rubbing but so far these Nittos ride smoother than my 225/55-16's. I will update after I take the car out this weekend.

The last price that was quoted by one of the local Chicago Lexus dealers earlier this week was still $1K+ for the SportDesign spoiler. Unless chicagoblknazn has heard differently, the OEM prices are still off chart for these things...IMHO...

No that is not the OEM SportDesign spoiler, however that seems to be the look that he's going for. If not, I stand corrected. The point is, the look is clean and understated which many of us prefer. However, the cost of the OEM SD spoiler versus replicas is quite significant for what you get (i.e. OEM vs. Spoiler Depot). As much as many of us do not care for some aftermarket products, this particular issue seems to be one where we are at least willing to consider aftermarket over OEM. Bottom line is, the car looks good despite my preference for a smaller diameter rim to the 20's. The spoiler simply peeked my interest, as I am in the market to purchase an SD spoiler.

i think i know our misunderstanding now
neo was asking me if the 200-300 price for the m5 spoiler is still the same, i said yes, and then chicago said it's the price of the tein cs, and i got confused that he was trying to say the m5 spoiler it's all good. imho if the m5 spoiler (the legit one of course, no knock offs for me) fits well like in the pics, why not

And you would be right. For some reason, I thought you were talking about the OEM SD spoiler.
Sorry about that.
