I've always like the spoiler myself but it does look good without it.

without the wing of course. i just black taped the holes on my trunk.

those Lumarai wheels. those were featured on the ES Signature Series that you'll find here on Guam. I went to the Lexus launch for that vehichle. it was said that the ES Signature Series was made specifically for Guam. I want a set of those Lumarais for stocks..19s wraped with Falken tires.

I always felt the spoiler was what gave the GS it's signature look.

Well luckily they are cheap as dirt if you really want some. Only a couple hundred bucks per wheel.

I'm biased, I like it without the spoiler. Any kind of spoiler. I think it looks cleaner.

Not a fan of the OEM spoiler. I like some of the aftermarket ones though.

I think the car looks good both ways. But also think the spoiler distracts from the rear 3/4 view of the car, which is one of the best angles.

The cars shape and style has a lot going for it already, and I just don't think the spoiler is a drastic improvement, although it definitely doesn't look bad either.

Personal opinions differ, but I will never add a spoiler to my car.

I think the car has alot of signature styling cues. The headlights, slanted trunk lights, short front wheel-to-bumper distance, the front/rear fender buldges, and the way the rear window and c-pillars slope back in to form the shorty trunk..
