Default Just got my second IS 250 AWD! Well sort of.

Just pulled the deal for a lease on a Matador mica red/ sterling IS 250 awd today. No Nav. Leased it for my wife. Actually it is the second Lexus in my household. My daughter has a certified Is 250 AWD that she bought a year ago. But she still lives at home. If only the IS 350 came with a manual trans, I might think of getting one for myself when the lease on my 335i coupe runs out. Anything I need to know about these cars? Sales rep says its fine to run them on 87 octane but I am skeptical. Taking delivery on Monday. Didn't even take it for a test drive since my wife had driven my daughter's car a few times and really liked it. I am a big fan of red cars and I have to say that I think this could be one of the nicest red paint that I have ever seen. But that's just me. Anyone make a nice aftermarket rear spoiler or factory replica?

Welcome to Club Lexus! You can check the vendor section for the group buy on rear spoiler or classified. Sewell Lexus I would recommend or ebay is a start. www.l-tunedparts.com you can look at that for aftermarkets or oem.

Thanks for the info. Checked ebay. Not looking to spend a great deal of money on a leased car but found a rear spoiler for $75. Look Ok but wonder what the quality is. You generally get what you pay for or maybe less rarely more.

I think they are all the same but always check their feedback with other is buyers. I seen some other post from people buying it on ebay and quality was good. hopefully they can chime in on this or you can do a search if u want to look for that other post. I got my trunk spoiler from sewell lexus. since its a lease car just use the 3m tape install.

I've put many spoilers on with tape and never had a problem
