I need to regroup monday. It appears I need to release the double sticky tape first so the pushpins have some relief to release their hold. I thought the pushpins were holding it back, but it is apparently the tape. Even then I hope I have the right tool to release the pins. Hope to have it done monday or tuesday.

I used painters tape to support it and make sure everything was aligned before bolting it down.

Thank you DaOne. Like the pics. Mine did not come with those foam washer rings. I only received foam weather stripping. I am going to try and find some foam washers like those.

Check the box again. Mine came with both (weather strips to go around the entire edge of the spoiler and foam washers for the bolts).

Alright! Got something done today. Went from this ...




To this..
Game changer and still not to much or over the top.








It is just right. Not to much at all. Adds a lot of definition and a touch of aggression while remaining classy and elegant like a IS 500 does. Cannot say enough how it enhances the curves and width of the rear end. Love it just love it!! Thank you DaOne for your support!

REALLY liking this. You’re completely right - matches and continues the rear lines perfectly. Almost looks like an incredibly subtle ducktail spoiler that Lexus would actually put on their car from the factory. Well done man.

Agreed, I believe I read somewhere at one time these spoilers were an option for IS 350 and were made by this vendor. Could be wrong, but the results say otherwise. It gives that added little umph!

Lol oh ok, I just wasn’t sure if it was a new 2023 “feature”. I recall someone actually did that with their 2022 too so it’s not just you.

It should be a 2023 feature, right!
