If its the same guy on ebay we r talking about, the item is made from fibre glass and fitment is ok.
Probably plus shipping it wud be cheaper to get thru carson than thru ebay(assuming the first post is true).

If there is enough interest/buyers, the price should be pretty close to the price I mentioned. It would also be safer through Carson Toyota as well because they're a trusted sponsor here.

Fitments for this JunTW item is not that great. it will definately need some prep work before it is painted. The edges are not round.. a bit wavy I'd must say... Also.. After it is installed, you can see the tape through the rear window, where as for the Lexon, you cannot see anything at all.

Lexon

I was going to go that route too but $400+ unpainted and $500+ unpainted was just a bit much.

It looks like we have more than enough interest but hopefully we can get more to get the price even lower.

I highly doubt a good quality paint would be $50.00 and also considering, most of our 2IS paint are three stage paint job.

I just want to add a little update. Things are on their way and details are just getting straightened. The GB will be posted as soon as everything is in place.

Thanks.

Good luck with your GB. I threw down on Lexon - I figure you only live once and you get what you pay for. If the Lexon version costs X, I wonder what corners the generic ones cut to be priced at Y. Also keep in mind that Carson will still charge for the paint match (apprx $125) . . .

True.
A bodyshop owner will never paint anything for $50.

That's true but with Lexon, your partly paying for the name as well. I'm not saying it's bad quality, I'm not even saying this spoiler is compareable to the Lexon spoiler but it's a great alternative.

If this spoiler is decent to good, the price difference is definitely worth it. I mean $130 + $100 to get painted compared to Lexon's $550 + $100 to get painted is a $420 difference. I can get a painted OEM-style trunk spoiler for less than $200 and with this roof spoiler and it will still cost less than the Lexon. All I'm saying is, it's good to have alternatives.

^^^ Couldn't have said it better myself. The Lexon is definitely highly priced for a roof spoiler. That's why I want this group buy NOW!

^ True, but the IS is also highly priced for a 4 door compact sports sedan, but we all threw down on a Lexus . . .

Again, good luck with the GB, but I'm staying JDM for the mods on my ride
