I'm trying to decide between the TRD and Wald spoiler for my L Sport. I don't know if anyone on the forum has the TRD spoiler installed at this point. I know there are a few which have the Wald spoiler, however. Apparently, they both install using double-sided tape. I had a similar spoiler installed on a Buick for many years so I know it's a legitimate mounting technique.
The Wald spoiler requires that the Lexus logo badge on the trunk lid be removed and installed on the spoiler itself. This seems like it might be a hassle. Is the badge taped or bolted on?

Wald:

I'm leaning toward the TRD spoiler since it appears more aggressive which is the direction I'd like to take my car. The Wald spoiler's shape does match the GS's contours quite well, however.

The Wald spoiler looks good on this Liquid Platinum GS 350:

It's annoying how these pieces are shown on black cars in order to hide their seams. It's also getting increasingly difficult to find images which haven't been run through image filters to look like a cheezy Instagram photos.

I don't think you have to remove the logo. I thought the Wald spoiler has a hole for it.

I can't read that, but I did ask VIP Auto Salon and they confirmed that the Lexus logo must be removed. I'd think I'd be better off buying a second logo rather than repurposing the original one.

I was looking at some logo kits. They come with a special tool for logo removal. Looks very simply as a plastic pry bar that pops them off. Are they attached with double-sided tape also? Seems pretty simple, but I haven't tried it yet.
