Yep! Giddy Up is what it is! A game changer on stance and I think just finishes up the car overall.

Don't do it! If anyone is interested I found it on Etsy. I searched F sport logo on ETSY looking for interior parts with the F sport logo and found the badge.

I agree, I’m not really a fan of de-badging. The one exception, the dealer’s badge if they happen to slip it on w/o your knowledge. #GetThatCrapOff 😜

The spoiler looks AWESOME!!! 😍

I wanted to add a couple of more pics of the spoiler. The last one I think is the money shot.






Really shows how it compliments the look of the car.

Looks really good! I'd love to see one with this plus a nice CF lip and side skirt when there is a good one available.

Check this one out Renault. It looks great, although not CF. The car is a wrapped IS500 of course. I really like those bronze wheels. Would look great on my Atomic Silver.

This is a personal preference and we all have one but I prefer the OEM spoiler, I find it is a bit more subtle and less protrusive but that is just me...

Did you remove the "IS 500" trunk emblem? If so, were there holes behind it? From the angle in this photo, I don't see evidence of this.

The "IS 500" letters are just taped to the surface. The Lexus L is also adhesive but uses two locating pins with holes in the trunk lid.

This is strange to hear given that I was just told by a reputable supplier that the IS350 and IS500 base trunk are identical and aftermarket spoilers are interchangeable between these two models. Unless the IS350 DHP specifically has a unique base trunk part number from the regular IS350/500, but that sounds like a bit of a stretch. I don't intend to belittle your comments or experiences, but you're 100% certain the DHP spoiler is a no-go on the IS500? With that said, do any of the pins align? Could some be removed, holes plugged, and then installed with 3M tape or more of it for added security?

Base trunks are identical, but not the holes for the different spoilers!

Which makes no sense at all. Not that things have to make sense.
