View Full Version : people with spoilers on their xb's... supitsmark 07-01-2004, 01:47 AM im trying to decide if i should get an oem spoiler or not. please post your pics and thoughts.. obz 07-01-2004, 01:52 AM 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. :wink: LavaScionSouthernArizona 07-01-2004, 01:53 AM mine came with the edition, but would buy it even if it didnt....check my sig for pics jatt 07-01-2004, 01:54 AM i didnt buy it. i couldnt justify paying 400 bucks for a spoiler. i thought id like it, but the look of no spoiler grew on me. and now i woulndt take one if someone gave it to me. fr130 07-01-2004, 01:59 AM Nice Grocery cart handle :lol: awybrant 07-01-2004, 02:09 AM 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!! supitsmark 07-01-2004, 02:56 AM 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.

Is that how much they go for at the dealer? You can almost get a silver carbon fiber one for that price! dinkjs 07-01-2004, 03:09 AM The xB defently needs a spoiler on the back either oem or aftermarket....it just looks to plain in the back without one...... satanisanerd734 07-01-2004, 03:11 AM The spoiler makes the xB's rear look better... without it, it doesnt look as good... check my sig for pics XS_MODS 07-01-2004, 03:24 AM The spoiler makes the xB's rear look better... without it, it doesnt look as good... check my sig for pics Agreed! allblackxb 07-01-2004, 03:37 AM 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. jdavid 07-01-2004, 04:16 AM I like it cause it keeps the rain off my rear window wiper. Oh yea, and for the extra torque. :wink: UnFocused 07-01-2004, 04:23 AM check my profile for pics. At first I wasnt going to get one- then I though 'whats another $4 a month!!' Get it- youll love it! XS_MODS 07-01-2004, 04:27 AM Deleted this reply. wrong topic. XS_MODS 07-01-2004, 04:29 AM did i reply in the wrong post? where is Jdavid's comment on the satellite dish? UnFocused 07-01-2004, 05:07 AM Never saw it- Sorry DStewart 07-01-2004, 05:44 AM I ordered mine with it, I think it completes the back end. It was one of the first options I chose. CBSIMONSEZ 07-01-2004, 11:04 AM 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! :lol: Check Ebay, there was an aftermarket place that was making OEM tails, painted and shipped for about $200. kwicslvr 07-01-2004, 12:17 PM I think the spoiler looks a lot better on the darker cars compared to the lighter ones. Reno 07-01-2004, 12:32 PM i think the spoiler makes the xB look better. it is just too much of a box without one. it gives it a little more shape. plus it adds like 5 hp. :wink: IAxB 07-01-2004, 01:54 PM I too debated on this for a while before I ordered mine, I finally decided that since I was ordering a box I wanted to emphasize the boxyness, so I left it off. I agree that it breaks up the boxy look nicely, but to me that is the beauty of the xB. So no spoiler for me. TOURBOX 07-01-2004, 05:20 PM I have a carbon fiber wing and I love it on my black box........ If you want to get a wing just get the carbon fiber one.... if you want the oem look paint it..... If you want an original OEM wing buy one from one of these guys who say they wish they didn't have it on the car....... But I love the look of the wing..... Fr8mvr 07-01-2004, 07:18 PM The OEM spoiler was the only option my wife said I needed on the box. The rest was just an option... hTXb 07-01-2004, 08:29 PM ...If you want an original OEM wing buy one from one of these guys who say they wish they didn't have it on the car... it's a good idea, but once you install the OEM spoiler you're kinda stuck with it since you gotta drill some holes to install it :wink: Deputy_Dawg 07-02-2004, 08:29 AM I added my spoiler on after I bought the car. I just looked on the internet and found a dealer who was selling the spoiler for $242.00 (http://newscionparts.com/html/exteriorxB.html). Went to my local toyota parts shop and had them match the price. I saved on shipping since my local shop got it for me. All it takes is 4 holes and some sticky tape and your spoiler is on. Deputy Dawg bB_Local_Boy 07-02-2004, 08:49 AM I got the spoiler just because I'm indecisive. I figure it's better than what they did to our beloved boxes over at West Coast Customs. :cry: I'm not feeling the whole TRD thing anymore. So-so products with outrageous prices. If you're gonna get ripped for your cash, why not go HKS or Cusco. yeah...Cusco. JDM baby. 8) |
