  1. I took delivery of my new 2010 ES350 today, and you were right Steve. A spoiler would screw up the looks of this car. It is a stunning head turner. Tungsten Pearl, UL w/ Levinson. On a side bar, the dealership was Johnson in Durham NC. The salesman took me on a tour and I could not believe the service area. It looked as big a football field and it was absolutely spotless! Cars up on lifts and yellow brick floor underneath and not a speck of dirt, grease, anything to be seen anywhere. Not a tool in sight. All of the tool boxes looked like they just came out of their packing. Amazing! Take care and have a great day!
  2. Hey Steve. Thanks for the response. Yes, I drove an ES at Hendrick in Charlotte last week and I loved it. I was all set to get an Avalon LTD until I drove the ES. That coupled with the incredible incentives that I got on the ES with the upgraded packages, made the choice a no brainer. I'm almost 50, but I just couldn't see myself in grandpa's Avalon just yet. Hendrick had an ES on the showroom floor with a spoiler on it and I really loved it. I'm glad the option is "very unpopular". That means there won't be a whole lot out there like mine! :) The only time an exterior antenna is in the way is on a car equipped with the UL package, correct? And those are fairly rare, are the not? I know a spoiler surely isn't going to make the car drive any sportier, but I do like the way they look. It's an aesthetic thing with me. Oh well. To each his own.
  3. It looks like Dawn may have an aftermarket that may fit. Does anyone have any experience with them or their product? Or know if their spoilers do indeed correct this problem?
  4. After having had a deal hammered out with the dealership for 2 days on an ES350 with Ultra Luxury and Mark Levinson packages; the salesman calls me today and tells me that the spoiler I wanted cannot be installed because the glass roof necessitates the moving of the Safety Connect/Enform antenna button. Unfortunately Lexus relocated it on the back edge of the rear deck, ironically, where a spoiler would be installed. Needless to say that I'm not very thrilled! First of all, the dealership (especially the GSM with whom I dealt) should have known his product better and told me at the outset that the spoiler couldn't be installed. Second, no where, in any brochure or official Lexus literature have I been able to find that a spoiler can't be used with the Luxury Package. I can't believe that Lexus would drop the ball in this situation. I mean it would only make sense that if someone was going to upgrade to the sportier package with the panoramic roof that they would think that those same customers may want a spoiler also. Even a spoiler with a slight design variance like a cut out so as fit around the antenna button would have been something that they should have thought about. I have to drive 200 miles to pick up the vehicle on Monday (Labor Day). Not Happy At All!
