johnnybgoode Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Hi, folks; need some advice; bought an '01 CPO GS430 about two years ago; love it to death, even more than the new models. Question is, the guy who had it first had a rear spoiler put on; factory look-alike, but not anything-else-alike. It flutters at most any speed, and rattles when I close the deck lid. Being an old (in all senses of the word) hot rodder and car guy and spending a few years in the speed equipment business, I got to know the various brands by reputation; which things were well made, which to stay away from. But, not with Lexus stuff; SO, anybody want to volunteer the info about a new spoiler? Which brands are good, which are not? I'm about to replace the thing, but don't know what to buy or stay away from. reply to john46mac@yahoo.com, if you will. thx john
tuddy Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 just get a lip for the trunk lid..thats what i did it looks alot cleaner then the spoiler does
dcfish Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 I have this one on mine not too OTT ← I am going to get the lip spoiler for my G3. IMHO the stock spoilers with the brake light in look ill fitting. No offense to anyone. Just not my style.
dcfish Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 get the one i got its very classy heres a pic ← That is what I am going with. Nice pic. B)
melhadri Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Where did you get the lip spoiler and how much did it cost u?
p3style Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 If you have an OEM spoiler and then go with the lip spoiler...would it leave holes?
NJLexusGS Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 I have a 3-piece Rod Millen Lip. It is larger than the previous one. It cost about $300. Here is a pic. If you want other pics from different angles, let me know.

NJLexusGS Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 No, you dont have to debadge to install. There is a cutout for the oval lexus emblem in the center.
mrmatthew4978 Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 my 98 gs400 came w/ a lip that extends over trunk 4 inces and down back of trunk another 4 incehs, tho no cutout for lexus emblem--glues on, no holes, looks stock but is one of a kind
