Needs something back there as it looks bare without anything.

It's clean and simple; a Lexus trademark.

Currently, I'm running naked, and I'm fine with that.

I would like to see some aftermarket options. I have seen ones that look great, but I am still waiting for something that is truly unique and eyecatching, yet at the same time streamlined to the car's design and not too prominent.

The rear spoiler is a must have. With OEM you can't beat the price and it already comes painted to perfectly match the car. The only REAL question is whether to drill or not, and that's a whole 'nother subject . . .

I was in the same boat, the color plus navi combo that I wanted had it, but now I think if I would have forked out the 4 bills to have one added if I did get car w/out the spoiler. Just shows that sometimes we really don't know what we want! .

Definitely a must have. My car came with it, if it didn't I would've bought and installed it anyway.

Alrighty, I'm going to order it!

Sewell doesn't seem to have the spoiler in my color (8UO Black Sapphire Pearl). I shot them an email this morning, hopefully they'll respond soon.

I'm going to get the dealer to install it for me. Any chance I can get the dealer to price match Sewell's price?

Not enough options on the poll. I think it certainly isn't a "must have", but as spoilers go (generally, I'm not a fan) it works well with the back end of the car. It would depend on the color and which IS...a beige AWD one? Not great. A lowered dark color one with some hot wheels. I think it looks good.

It's a must... just like whipped cream on cake! It adds a bit of character to the car.

I love cake but being NAKED is much better to me!

No spoiler for me. IMHO I think it makes the car look better and not as rice.

I wouldn't have specifically looked for a car with the spoiler prior to purchase, but I like it, and am glad my car has one.
