It seems a bit large for the xA.

Hot, nonetheless, and very original. Great work!

it looks nice. the xA looks out of place with a stubby antenna or the s2k antenna, but the sharkfin works

Great pics!!! I don't think it is out of proportion...as tall as the car is from the beltline up, it seems like a good fit. IMO.

you can color match it to your car, or just get one of the colors that are available

Is it a fairly easy install? I have never done anything like that before.

That does seem simple. I think I will add this to my to do list along with a spoiler. I really like the one the one hornet has. They are perfectly suited for one another.

Do the ones on that ebay listing fit well on a scion?

I don't want anything that doesn't work...style means nothing if not efficient. Is there anything I should look for to guarantee a good product?

Well, I went to at least 10 car shops in Birmingham and not a single one of them could even figure out what I wanted in a sharkfin antenna. I even gave 1 the web page of where I found a carbon fiber fin, hoping that they could find one in ABS . No luck from any of them no luck anywhere.
So, I'd say the best thing to do is to ask on boards like this and get people that either sell what you want or have bought what you want and bug the pee out of them....Most people want to help just because it vindicates what they have done.
