"Ducktail" / rear lip spoiler for XV50 Aurion?

[Forumuser]

G'day all,

Any idea if it's possible to get an aftermarket rear lip spoiler for the later XV50 model Aurion? Something like the stock Sportivo (pic from Wikipedia):

I'm guessing Toyota won't sell me one since I'm only driving an AT-X model? So far I've only found one place that sells something similar for the 2012+ models and frankly it's crap, it has a gap for the Toyota emblem but sits half over the Aurion and the AT-X logos which looks ridiculous.

Go to your local parts department and ask the question. Most will be happy to try and help.

Suggest doing a search on eBay and also confirm with the eBay seller whether the body kit part advertised for a Camry will also fit the Aurion.

Update, spoke to Toyota, they said they can sell me a stock spoiler like the one in the photo above for $280-ish (not painted, they reckon it'll cost $350+ to get it painted ... ?), but it's "incompatible" with my car and will need to be taken to a panel beater to install (if it will fit at all).

I drive a late 2013 XV50 Aurion, has there been a chassis refresh since the XV50? Why would the spoiler be incompatible with my car? I don't like the sound of "panel beating", wtf is the deal there?

Probably from a model facelift. It will likely fit. Toyota talk strictly in factory terms, not modifications.

You will need a panel beater to paint it anyway so that it is colour matched.

Hey mate.

I think you got bad advice from someone there at Toyota . 

I can't see a compatibility issue if he is selling you the same spoiler that's in the picture . 

The sheet metal on your 2013 is the same as a 2016 so it should be a direct fit. 

I suspect what he may been trying to say is that you will receive a stock spoiler that is not painted and as such will require a panel shop to colour match and install. That's what he was alluding to as being "Incompatible "

I'd also assume this, along with "your car doesn't have the correct holes for the spoiler, therefore it doesn't fit" and requires holes etc drilled from a template (which often comes with aftermarket or dealer-fitted options)

[Tony Prodigy]

Yes, Hiro. 

The drilling of the holes via a template would also be a consideration if this is the way they mount too.
