Default TTE rear deck lip spoiler

Has anyone seen this in person? It is quite small ala the M5 spoiler. Steve Ganz told me he has sold one and I assume it was to someone on this board.

This is quite a different look from the factory or any other spoilers out there. What do you guys think?

Actually, Steve sold at least two, one on-route to me. The first attempt to ship by UPS resulted in a broken spoiler. I hope it makes it this time.

I chose it because it's subtle, and I don't have to deal with the third brake light.

I have seen one in person on an IS300. Looks nice.

Q???????????? You bought it too???... I thought I was going to be the first...Dangit...J/K
When the M5 first came out I even considered retro-fitting that spoiler to the GS...But, the measurements are different and it requires drilling, unlike the TTE which is adhesive only....
Steve told me UPS tried to return it to him in a sack after he packaged it in a box...hahahahahahhahaha He said it looked like they ran over it a few times..hahahaha
Here is a link to pics of the spolier on a couple of Aristos...Scroll down and you will see the TTE..

Default Different one.....

Thats not the spoiler I was referring to. There is a smaller TTE rear spoiler, part # 27576 that is just a little "LIP" just like the one on the M5.....It is $199 unpainted and can be purchased through Steve at Carson.....Again, for a pic check this link and scroll down, you will see one on a Black Aristo and one on a White one....
