On top of it's cleaner without it!
BMW had it first on their car... I feel like coping... I wouldn't put it on.
Unless you have 07 and it came with it...

Y'all who voted for "NO", I bet you have the 2006 GS300. I love the sharkfin look. Makes it sporty!

You might be wright if it's whole new front bumper or something...
But, it's small cheap plastic thing you can get it anywhere if you want it...
I would rather not have it on my car....

The smooth top and cleaner look is better on that car and the IS. Also, the
sharkfin is in the way if you're brushing off snow during the winter (that's if
you get snow). End up knocking the fin and don't even know it.

This ugly piece of plastic destroys the car's aerodynamics. It is one of the reasons why I decided against swapping 2006 GS300 for this one.

I voted yes since it's what I have, but I do think it looks cleaner w/o it. But the function it provides serves a purpose imho.

I like the ones that they have on the Accord better.

sorry, I tried my best to find the right pic, but this was the only one I found in a short amount of time.

it's just a little round stub sitting on top, it's so cute.

I agree, something more subtle would be nice. The more invisible the better~

I hate the sharkfin on any Lexus, on any car. These are CARS, not fish.

Death to the sharkfin.....I cry thinking of the day I will be forced to have one on my car.

Why not add some gills and fins?
