I'm trying to justify adding it, but I need to hear about some actual functional benefit. I like the way it looks, but... does it change anything from a functional perspective?
- does it keep the rear window cleaner?
- does it provide shade?
- does it make your car lift off like a jet @ 70mph?

Anything? Beuller?

It just looks better, more finished off.

It looks better and actually causes downward airflow to help keep the back window cleaner.

It will add another 20 horespower to your GX and make it handle like a Corvette

It makes you look way cooler!

And what is wrong with the minivan look?

Just 20? I got 500 off mine and can now fly like the birds.

If your looking for a place to get it. I got mine off ebay for about $150 painted. Seller is thespoilerstore

Paint job matched perfectly.

Only if you are doing 70 mph BACKWARDS

The spoiler creates downforce at high speeds keeping the rear end planted. Last weekend, I found myself drafting an LX at 135 and was surprised at how well the truck held its line through long sweepers at that speed.

Oh yeah,and then I woke up.

I thought you have added another mod to your GX.

I agree w/everyone about the looks.

Has anyone on the thread actually added one after purchase? Did it actually keep the rear window cleaner? That's the only benefit I've heard Lexus tout.

I also wonder whether it might help minimally w/wind resistance. Turns out if you extend the rear edge of the "roof" of a car like ours, it reduces wind resistance. Maybe turns it into a Prius

Guys, I didn't notice the rear window was any cleaner when I took a trip up to Tahoe / Reno this past winter - the window was still coated with snow and dirt - and I have the rear spoiler installed by the factory. Car came that way. Do like the looks, though! Personally, I would add it if I didn't have it.

I've had two GXs, 1 with the spoiler and 1 without. I didn't notice any significant difference in how clean the back window stays, and certainly no difference in vehicle performance that I could tell.

We get snow here, and it's easier clearing snow off the roof without the spoiler in my opinion. Other than that I think it's just a matter of appearance.

Yes...Me Guilty... I did it for looks. I felt naked on the rear end without it. No performance gain and certainly no rear window cleaner benefits that I noticed.

It is much more of a pain to wax the car with it since there are crevices to get into now.
