I've got a spoiler. Check my profile for pics. Personally I like that it breaks up the boxiness of my xB. You're going to get a lot of people on here saying that they don't like the spoiler just for that fact, but I think it's nice.

Hey,

If I was you I would not get the spoiler. Insted of paying 400$ for oem,just get a carbon fiber one instead for half the price. Well if you have a black xb I wouldnt, but any other color I would say go for carbon fiber. Looks clean!!

don't get me wrong, carbon fiber is nice and all, but i prefer the oem look even if it more expensive. i'm trying to get the whole oem/trd look to my box even though it's going to cost me an arm and maybe two legs.

$400!?!? Is that how much they go for at the dealer? You can almost get a silver carbon fiber one for that price!

I would get the spoiler because even though it's small it makes a big impact on the way the box shape is presented. I see Xb's without the spoiler and yeah it still looks good but it seems as if it isn't complete. I had my Xb for a week before we boguth the spoiler and i have to say i like it with it than without.

I like it cause it keeps the rain off my rear window wiper. Oh yea, and for the extra torque.

I ordered mine with it, I think it completes the back end. It was one of the first options I chose.

Im gonna have to agree with most here, it breaks up the squareness of the xB. For those that think it makes it look like a shopping cart ..... BITE ME!

Check Ebay, there was an aftermarket place that was making OEM tails, painted and shipped for about $200.

I think the spoiler looks a lot better on the darker cars compared to the lighter ones.
