Thinking of adding a spoiler

I'm thinking of adding a spoiler to my 06 Camry LE the dealer is giving me a price of $250 installed would this be reasonable?

Sounds like it would be reasonable to me. I think some have reported prices of at least double that for a dealer installed spoiler. Might want to check to see what type of spoiler it actually is - OEM, aftermarket replica, or just plain old aftermarket.

The spoilers for a 2007-09 and a 2002-06 are extremely different- both in size and cost. The 2007-09 is much smaller and does not have LED lights. The 2002-06 is larger, has a large LED light bar, and requires wiring. Due to the increased size and wiring, it should be much more expensive (both in part cost and labor) than the 2007-09.

To answer the original question, I think $250 installed is quite a deal. I'd make sure there isn't a catch.

+1...as I said, it's reasonable. I only referred to the only official Toyota quote for installing a spoiler (parts and labor) I found quickly. Should have mentioned that, I guess...agree on all your points anyway...

If you want to save money on labor, there's a DIY thread on installing this part. I'll let you do the searching

Get the lip spoiler (SET). It looks better and is cheaper. You can also easily install it yourself.
