Hey C.A. Nix! In hindsight I should have done this because the time and materials added up to more than $100…plus I would have saved some stress. Thanks for sharing your approach…I think others should go this route to save time. I’ll pin your comment.
Hey Zach! I agree, it’s such a difference maker. I felt like the rounded back without the spoiler looked like a minivan. 😂 Yes be glad you already have one. Painting took quite a bit of time.
Hey Ryan! Wow, I can’t say thank you enough for helping spread the word. Planning, filming, installing, and editing add up to way more work than the install should really take, but I do it to help inform the community. I really appreciate you spreading the word and helping me grow. 🙏🏻 It makes the work worth it in the end!
Another great video. I totally didn't notice your GX didn't have a spoiler. The completed work looks really good. You make quality videos, informative videos, and are responsive to viewers and subscribers. Keep up the great job. Since watching your video I find myself looking at GXs to see if they have a spoiler now. 😆 THANKS!
Thank you Axial! I appreciate the positive feedback. 🙏🏻 The spoiler made a big improvement in the look of the vehicle and I find myself looking back at it after I park it admiring the look.
What 50 videos already and can I just buy a shirt? I’ve wanted a spoiler so looks like this is going to happen now lol! Love the videos and clear directions!
Excellent video. I just purchased a Gx 470 that did NOT come with a spoiler. So, of course I bought the oem spoiler and am having it painted black. From watching your video, I am now confident I can do it myself instead of paying someonelse to do it. Thanks for letting me have a front row seat to your "spoiler installation" class. I will send you a "tuition" fee for your efforts. Thanks again.
Hey Gregory! I'm so happy to hear this video helped you out and gave you the confidence to tackle the job yourself. The spoiler is still rock solid and I love the look it gives the GX. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the channel and videos. Getting positive feedback makes all the work and editing time worth the effort!
As an update to the listing you have linked, it ships completely differently now. 1. Comes as black plastic. Listing states it’s primed, but doesn’t seem like it 2. No foam pads or any weatherproofing material 3. Brake light wiring is pre-route and comes with a red lens color 4. Comes with 2 mounting holes on the spoiler, of which the outside holes match the trunk grommet holes. The screws have been replaced with threaded studs that you simply tighten the included nuts onto - seems pretty sturdy especially with some loctite 5. There is no center bump that covers the OEM brake light. You’ll have to cover it with something, annoyingly
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this. That's the problem with some of these eBay finds. Sometimes they arent consistent over a few year time period. Hopefully you were still able to get things installed and are happy with your spoiler.
Thanks Lance! Glad to hear from you and know you’re still watching…thank you for the support and comments you’ve always provided. 🙏🏻 If you don’t have a spoiler, I highly recommend this. It’s pretty cheap and easy to install.
Hey Bigtreesfall! Thanks for reaching out and I'm glad this helped you out with your plans to install one yourself. Reach out if you have questions during the install!
Hi the reason you have 2000 subscriber is that you are informative and clear in your instruction i noticed your decals where can i get it and your t shirt aswell
Thanks Eddie! Your comments made my day..I appreciate the positivity. 🙏🏻 I actually don’t have a merch store for any of this, just thought I’d give stuff away each month to subscribers. If enough people are interested, I was thinking an online merch store would be cool.
I'm about to put mine on as soon as the lights I ordered come in for back backup/chase lights, thanks for making the video, you saved me a bunch of hassle. Did you use flex seal or would you recommend using it on the center pad?
Here is the link for the spoiler. Let me know if you have questions during the install! www.ebay.com/itm/292555642606?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=l3M0Oq3HQNW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I have a gx470 one of the best cars I have. But I think the spoiler looks great also are you going to go off-road with the gx? I think that would be cool plus it could show what the car can do
I agree, this is one of the best vehicles I've owned so far. It looks great with some customizations and its a blast to offroad. Yes, I do have some offroad videos and plan to do more in the future.
Did you paint your roof rails ? And do you think the spoiler would look good in black too? I have to replace my damaged oem spoiler and thinking of trying different color than the factory silver. Might do grey rails , spoiler and lower body trim to generate two tone look
Yeah, I painted the roof rails in Vlog 14 with truck bed liner. I think black would look good...I almost went that route as I thought it might look good with a black roof rack.
How many cans of paint did you use? I have an Ash Blue Mica 470, and code-matched cans of spray paint are $37 each so I want to avoid over/under buying cans. Can I get away with 1 can or do I need 2-3?
Great question and I guess I didn’t cover that in the video. I only went with one can and to make it lay well, I just made sure it had a good coat of primer.
The video is awesome, friend. Would you like to try our 6500K led headlight bulb? We wanna send it for you to try. Please check your email, hope to hear from you, thanks~
Sorry for the LATE reply. The spoiler still fits. It’s just a different style then yours for some reason. I’m finally gonna tackle it this week. I’m nervous 😂
Thank you Gregory! You didn't have to do that! I greatly appreciate your "tuition" fee lol. Follow me on IG if you have an account and we can connect. I owe you some stickers!
Did mine but got it pre-painted (shop quality) for less than $100 more to match factory. 10000% worth it!

🎉🎈Video 50 & 2K 🎉🔥 awesome work dude!! Keep it up
Thanks for creating the new track Max! 🔊🎵🙌🏻
The spoiler makes such a huge difference aesthetically, I’m glad mine came with one after seeing all the effort you had to go through
Hey Zach! I agree, it’s such a difference maker. I felt like the rounded back without the spoiler looked like a minivan. 😂
Yes be glad you already have one. Painting took quite a bit of time.
@@Awesomoto 🤣
Thanks!
Thanks Max!
Spoiler really pulling things together. Shirts looking real clean, love the simplicity.
Hey Gary! Thanks man! The spoiler is subtle, but I really like the way it shapes the back end of the vehicle. I'll have to send you a shirt!
Absolutely perfection all the way stay the course Mr.
damn, what a great video to cover this part. It looks way easier than I expected. I have no spoiler either and have been thinking of getting this.
Hey ecahatch! The install was very easy and if you don’t have to paint like me, it can be done on a Saturday afternoon in a short amount of time.
Congrats on the subs and uploads! I’ve spread the word about your channel to my GX group to pump up those numbers. Enjoy the spoiler!

@@Awesomotoyes sir I did! And yeah you’re right, these listings always flip flop. Thanks for the video again!
@@woffoj Of course! Thanks for the feedback!
Looks sick! Now I’m wanting a spoiler! 😅
As always, great job
Thanks Lance! Glad to hear from you and know you’re still watching…thank you for the support and comments you’ve always provided. 🙏🏻

That shirt is Awesome!!
Thanks H CC!
Nice work and great breakdown of the process.
I plan on installing one on mine and I'm glad I found this video.
Thanks man.
Hey Bigtreesfall! Thanks for reaching out and I'm glad this helped you out with your plans to install one yourself. Reach out if you have questions during the install!
Great video. Bout to put my spoiler on!
That’s exciting! Let me know if you have questions during the install!
Another great video! 👍🏼 good job 👏🏼 and congrats on the subs and hitting 50 videos!
Thank you Jaime 0! Thank you for supporting me along the way. Couldnt have done it without you!
Didn’t know they came without the spoiler
Yeah I didn’t know that either…until I bought this one lol.
Hi the reason you have 2000 subscriber is that you are informative and clear in your instruction i noticed your decals where can i get it and your t shirt aswell
Thanks Eddie! Your comments made my day..I appreciate the positivity. 🙏🏻 I actually don’t have a merch store for any of this, just thought I’d give stuff away each month to subscribers. If enough people are interested, I was thinking an online merch store would be cool.
@@Awesomoto absolutely your followers are growing by the minute you are starting a trend, jajajajaja
I'm about to put mine on as soon as the lights I ordered come in for back backup/chase lights, thanks for making the video, you saved me a bunch of hassle. Did you use flex seal or would you recommend using it on the center pad?
That's awesome! I'm glad you stumbled across this video! Yes, I used flex seal and its still water tight and holding on strong. 🦾
Planning on installing my spoiler this weekend. How has the flex glue held up for you over the years?
It’s held up incredibly! No leaks and it’s rock solid.
I have a 05 gx470 could you drop a link for where you got it on ebay?
Here is the link for the spoiler. Let me know if you have questions during the install!

Yeah, I painted the roof rails in Vlog 14 with truck bed liner. I think black would look good...I almost went that route as I thought it might look good with a black roof rack.
Did you only use two screws in the whole thing?
Hey John, sorry for the delayed response. Yes, there are only two bolts holding this on.
Hows it holding up so far with just the two bolts and flex seal? Any water leakage at all?
Good question Anthony! It's holding up fantastic...the flex seal product is incredible. No leaks or issues with fitment quality.
How many cans of paint did you use? I have an Ash Blue Mica 470, and code-matched cans of spray paint are $37 each so I want to avoid over/under buying cans. Can I get away with 1 can or do I need 2-3?
Great question and I guess I didn’t cover that in the video. I only went with one can and to make it lay well, I just made sure it had a good coat of primer.
Am thinking about upgrading my suspension what do you recommend trying to lift the gx470 2003
Hey Eddie, I personally have been eying the Dobinson brand lift as I’ve heard good things about their kit.
Will this spoiler fit 2008 Toyota Prado ?
Hey Rafael, Yes this will fit GX470 and Prada 2005-2009.
Size L, please ;)

The video is awesome, friend. Would you like to try our 6500K led headlight bulb? We wanna send it for you to try. Please check your email, hope to hear from you, thanks~
I purchased the same one, but mine doesn’t have the center support covering the brake light. It’s weird 🤌
That is so strange. Does it still fit on your vehicle?
Sorry for the LATE reply. The spoiler still fits. It’s just a different style then yours for some reason. I’m finally gonna tackle it this week. I’m nervous 😂
Thanks!
