I actually tried the dhp spoiler they are not the same holes, it annoying cause they're only off by half an inch but it will not work unless you drill new holes. Luckily I was able to sell mine locally to a 350 owner, I wish I could've seen this thread sooner and I could've offered more insight.

I have a Seibon spolier set to arrive Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. This spoiler looks great from what I can see here. It is racy enough, while still maintaining overall Lexus class.

Question. How did you remove the plastic bolt/clips holding the trunk lid liner in place?

I would probably get a DHP trunk or 350 with the cf wing on, if you dont want to drill holes and keep it oem. lol.. otherwise, that will be hella $$$$$$$.

My Seibon spoiler came in today. Looks like it is going to pop right on. Bought some neoprene rubber washers and some silicone sealant just in case I need it.

Well this is on hold. Removed the trunk liner easy enough with zipties that I passed through the slots of the fastner heads. Problem is my hands are to big to reach the bolts on each end. I will have to wait for a friend to help out. Even if I could reach them, I think you still need two people. One to squeeze the stock fastners and one to lift up on the spoiler. Will post pics when completed.

I had to use one of those flexible extension things. The one that looks like spring to install mine.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. You used that to hold the nut onto the bolt?

Yes, to hold/torque the bolts. The two bolts at each end of the spoiler are too deep and hard to reach.

The stock spolier has two bolts and four pushpins for lack of a better description for a total of six. The Seibon has six M6 bolts with nuts and washers. It aligns perfectly. The grief is putting the washer,nut on after you put the spoiler on. The area there is a tight fit to reach. I decided to add neoprene rubber washers and silicone around the holes when I do the install. Just need to buy the right tool to reach that tough spot.

The stock spoiler does not come off easy. I am still trying to work at it. Ugh! I may have to nix this for the time being. Simply cannot get those pesky pushpins loosened/free/off.
