Default New spoiler....and its form fitting?!

I saw this thread in the desert regional section and had to post up the link to it. I want to get this spoiler now, nothing ricey at all, very understated and should give a new concept to VIP styling.....especially for the rear wings now. check it out! what do you guys think? Im going to order one when my next pay check comes in.

Those are all over Ebay, M3 clone spoilers. 46" is what you want. Look around, I've seen a few that are slightly larger, should fit the xB a little better.
They can be painted, just make sure it has some flex agent in it (like the factory paint used on the bumpers...)

Interesting, I'd like to see some different angles of the mounted lip.

I've had one on my box for almost a year now i had to trim the edges to fit because it was for a TC but it came painted and for the price it has gotten alot of positive comments at shows and meets.

errr not so much . This one is a flexable finish AND the paint doesnt crack or chip away from the bending. This one is painted BLACK and is being flexed like that. And its been measured to go across the rear of the XB, with 2mm spacing on both sides.

Mine is being painted TCM and will be going on soon. Im not a fan of the location of the spoilers that are pictured. Mine will be going right over the sprayer.

Default Style/Function

Curious, do these have a function other than style?

TheJonas...a lil threadjacking but its all good.

HarryB- no, these really are mainly for looks. Im sure they could add downforce if applied correctly, but it would be so small on our cars that it really is nothing more than for a sportier look and alternative to running a big spoiler.

as far as function, do they keep your rear window cleaner in the rain?

still looks a little funny to me, but i think it can grow on me if i see it at some different angles still, like a whole car look. and no way should that go ontop of the xb... i think that would look really weird. but go fo it! stand out, thats what we do best!
