I don't think their is an aftermarket IS-F replica spoiler this early in the game. You may have to wait for the release. I would ask Sewel Lexus on the anticipated stock date. I thought F-Sport was available already?

F-sport is available but the spoiler is not becuse, all of the IS-Fs come with the spoiler so its not an accessory kinda thing... there is one on Ebay but the guy is selling it for $400 bucks... i can get the OEM spoiler from the dealer for much cheaper!!!

u gotta pay to play...

but if you really want that spoiler...i suggest waiting a lil bit more for some replicas (IF MONEY IS AN ISSUE TO YOU)

and work on some other stuff like wheels or what not for the moment. might as well get what you really want instead of swapping it out later on.

but to each his own.

i'm pretty sure it doesn't. the oem spoiler is screwed in from the face of the trunk lid, whereas the is-f spoiler sits on top of the trunk lid.

Default IS-F Trunk Spoiler, does it need drilling?

I just saw that Sewell Lexus has the IS-F Trunk Spoiler on sale and I might be considering it but was just curious, does it need drilling like the OEM Spoiler or does it just attach by double-sided tape? If these attaches with double sided tape, I might actually consider this but if it requires drilling then I will have to pass.

Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

(Sorry if it's posted already, I could find it or just can't use the search function correctly.)

These pics just makes them look so good.

I like the advertisement for this. I would be willing to venture that their will be some drilling as the OEM spoiler on the gen2 non-ISF is drilled. I would give Sewell a call and I am sure their parts guy will be able to tell looking at the diagram on the computer.

haha. I didn't mean to advertise, I just wanted to share pics. If I weren't at work, I would crop out the logo. Plus I figure their sponsors here so it couldn't hurt. (*mods please delete the pics if it violates anything)

Thanks for the info, I'll give them a call and see. Hopefully no drilling is required.

I do like that IS-F spoiler better than my OEM one, it does look very refined!!

Yes, I am leaving my alone as well. If I did not have the OEM spoiler, count me in for the IS-F design even if the cost is much more (LOL).

There are a few threads on this already...

1) I like it!!

2) It comes with bolts which would need drilling into your trunk if you want it installed just like OEM... if not, you cut the bolts off and just use the tape.

3) If you already have a 2IS wing installed that was drilled in, you can forget putting one of these ON, unless you plan on filling in the holes on your trunk lid and re-painting since, the 2IS trunk wing bolt holes are on the facade of the trunk.

4) These wings ONLY come pre-painted in the available 6 IS-F colors..
If you want it for any other color non IS-F specific, you have to get it repainted..


I think that covers it..
