You might have better luck in your area but I called around to find a body shop that would do this for me and they all turned me down as the job was too small for them.
Trust me, I’d take you up on it! 😎

Job Size - That’s annoying. 😒

You mean their hands/arms are too big to fit in the small crevices to tighten those corner bolts? I guess that's true, because it's too small for them .

A guy with small hands/skinny arms would make the job a breeze.

I promise it's not as bad as it sounds but is really unnerving as this is the most expensive car I've personally worked on. My advice is to take it slow and make sure you have a couple extra hands to help take the trunk off.

I hope you gave them a "that's what she said" before you hung up 😁

For those not in the Lexus FB groups looking for a wing vs the current Duckbill Dynasty going on (looks good, just making jokes, chill), RR Racing is releasing one in a few weeks as well as one from SilkBlaze in Japan.


RR Racing



Through the guy on FB:
$380+shipping FRP
$480+shipping FRP (painted black or body color)
$900+shipping CF

Agreed! All personal preference of course, but I've never been a fan of spoiler wings.

I like them both, but I'd have to get the exposed holes from removing my old spoiler filled in, then have the trunk resprayed. Seiban is easier lol.
