Default EDITED - No more thoughts on wheels, will check into spoilers!

DaveGS4 just sent me a PM about setting up a group buy. I will speak with a CL vendor today about getting us some spoilers and what we would need to do to get it at a good price.

The spoiler group buy would be kicking. That's one of the thing I hate about our LX.

How much do those stock 18" wheels go for anyways? I won't mind having 20" version of the stockers though. To go from 18 --> 18 is a waste for me.

I kinda like the ones on the car now. It goes well with the color.

i hate you guys. Fine be that way! Spoiler sucks for me because i cant get it factory painted. You guys with black and white and ish can! And they dont make 20" versions, but AT Italia has some wheels that are 5 spoke on Tirerack.com that are 20" Has a lip to it too i believe.


Spoiler retails at a lexus dealership for 500-750 i think. I dont remember this was last year i was getting qoutes on it.

But if there are other like-minded LX owners, that may push me to do it

Because they thought you looked like a sucker

I've PM'ed Carson & Sewell to see what normal spoiler pricing is.
