I agree - His mods and his intent are very tasteful. Clean, not over-the-top. I like'em. However, that gap would bother the heck out of me.

Guys, that shortened side splitter is similar to the Supra side splitter, so Supra looks whack too then? Maybe...

Maybe, the Supra side splitter looks clean but it would look super-clean if it extended all the way to the wheel well

I haven't seen the one for the supra so I cannot give my opinion on that. the front lip of 300/350s are to short for the 500; it's just not a good look to me. companies make kits for certain cars for a reason, one of the reasons is a clean fit. now, I understand that not all companies make kits for all cars and if you are crafty or can get a hold of shop that's great at body work, then by all means get the parts and make them fit correctly. There's a member on these boards that extended a front lip on his 500 and he did a great job!

Maybe they mean something like this?



Which I personally still don't like, but this looks intentional. Unlike the the picture of the 500.

If anyone is interested LMPERFORMANCE is selling the spoiler for 748 shipped. I've never done business with this company before so we shall see if they are legit. I may end up filing a claim with my bank......who knows. But I'll bite, why not.

https://www.lmperformance.com/160234...BoCCiQQAvD_BwE

supposed to ship this Friday.

That's actually pretty darn good. According to Meraki, Seibon has increased their shipping cost to $341 for the spoiler.

Yup, next cheapest I found with shipping was $800. I think the vendor was UTH or something.

That shipping is a killer with most of these vendors.

Who even knows if this company is legit. But I used a credit card I never use. So I lose nothing if this turns out to be a shady business. Reviews online are mixed.

On second thought, this is for IS350 FSport? Not sure if going to fit IS500
