Lexus IS300 Trunk Lip - Need Opinions!

Max · Mar 5, 2009

Hey guys,

I guess I took a good notice into the 1st Generation (?) Lexus IS300 and I must say, I love the spoiler/trunk lip that is on that car. It has a built in LED third tail and looks quite nice.

Now, I found out online it measures 46" and our trunks (Sedan Gang) measure 49"
That would leave an inch and a half on each side. So you'll need to use your imagination with the picture above.

Now, my question is, anyone think it's a good idea? I think it would look good =\

Here's the eBay listing I was looking at:

They'll paint it and should be able to do Satin Silver Metallic (my car) since they sell more than Lexus spoilers.

Thanks for your guys' input!

Yea, it's one of those things I would want to sample on my car first before buying... You never know how much of a space it will be on each side until it's actually on the car.

i think it would look outta place. i wouldnt do it.

but who knows, surprisingly, it COULD turn out pretty nice.....
that doesnt mean it will.....

now that i take a second look at it...id be more worried about the "lip" on the outer parts, and if that would sit on the trunk well/right/at all...

Yea I'm reconsidering how I might get it. No eBay. There's a Lexus Used Parts store in Sun Valley, CA so I'll stop by there and see if they have it and try to see if it will sit well on the car before considering to buy it. Thanks for the advice...

def try it on before you buy it
but i think it has potential.

You could always widen it if that is the only issue with fiberglass.

Plus, it looks big enough where it'd need screws and not just double sided tape... subtract 1.5 inches from where the bolts would be on an OEM spoiler and you're looking at trying to put nut on bolts that are inside one of the braces in the trunk. Talk about difficult, lol.
