I got the spoiler and will try to snap some pics in profile for you to see...
Will this help for now?

That pic is freakin rad* but not exactly what I was looking for. Can you get them back to back facing away from each other.

Like I said, I have already decided to get the spoiler (dealer installed to add options.) With the dealer installed, I can change the spoiler later and still have the third brake light. Unless there are spoilers for '06s (with integrated brake light) in which case I would just get it factory installed. I still have a couple of weeks to really decide.

If this helps here's side profile shot of my 2006 xA with factory spoiler. I bought the car without the spoiler and added it later (bought it from TRDSparks then had my dealer install it - still costing less than the original option price if I'd had it installed at purchase time). The spoiler allows removal of the rear window 3rd brake light since it has LED brake lights built in. The window brake light was blocking a part of my rear view.

I didn't even think of that, I think I'll use that option.. I'll just order it with no spoiler and put one on later, If I want.

Thanks Grant.
IIP is a nice color btw

Default Too Expensive? www.trdsparks.com

I have to agree that most of the options from Scion are a bit pricey, but that's what www.trdsparks.com is for. We've cut the prices on everything and unlike ebay, these things all come with a warranty. Just a thought.

The dealer parts manager guy was originally going to charge me like $200 to install, but I wrangled him down to only charge me the amount that would bring the combined total to the same as if I had bought it from them - about $130 or so I think? Except when I picked the car up, my bill was only for $100! so yeah, if you're a returning customer, they'll hopefully flex on the price a lot

Ken & TRDSparks are great... In addition to the spoiler, I just picked up a set of foglights from them a couple of weeks ago - and they're self installable, saving $140 or something like that. So you can definitely add stuff later on if you decide you want the the feature.

I'm looking at some aftermarket fog/running lights. I'll decide about the spoiler later, might just add an aftermarket. (If I can find an inexpensive one)

Just remembered, my lil' brother-in-law-to-be is getting an xB as soon as Sunday (4/2/06). At least a week before I order mine. :jelous: You might see him around here soon. At the rate I'm going I'll never get my xA My wife-to-be (we both dislike "fiancee"sp) got her tax returns over a week ago, I haven't gotten anything, and we sent them in at the same time. :grrr: :bummed:

I'm gonna do a little math this week to see if I should wait or not. If I can't decide by Wednesday (tomorrow) I'll just wait till the 8th. I hope that my xA will be in sooner than I have heard, but it'll be worth the wait either way.
