As the the question states.... I'm considering about picking up the OEM spoiler, unless it is somehow functional other than bling points I'll rather put my cash somewhere it is actually functional...

Any suggestions? Is there CF spoiler that are not benches and actually works for our Xa? Thanx !

xAs can't go fast enough to make use of any real aerodynamic enhancements. They top out at 120 and it appeared to have cut fuel when I did so.

No function, just show.

Well, there might be a function since it does help reduce the amount of dirt and dust from tail wind :P

The xA just doesn't look right without the spoiler though...

i don't have much rain hit the rear window... i wonder if that counts

but it does look 5 times better with a spoiler... my only factory option.. except for floormats...

The fact of not getting as much dust settling on the back is enough for me to want it alone not considering the look. My car could be spotless except the back after a normal drive around town.

What do you mean? does it lower the MPG when you reach that maximum?

What is the best place to get the OEM spoiler for CHEAP?

Would the wing become functional (at least a little) if a "whicker" is installed along the rear edge. I have seen many examples of CF wickers that stick the rear edge of a wing and increase downforce.
Here is a link for an example.

Could we get something like this for our Xa?

Actually, the spoiler adds like 100 hp, almost as much as if you put a TRD and an AEM sticker on the side.
