A guy in our club bought his off eBay. It was like 100 bucks and was already painted. You are going to pay way more anywhere besides eBay...

I really like Scion Parts People. I've ordered from these guys several times and so has a buddy of mine for his xB. I just ordered some all weather floor mats for winter and they shipped them really fast. Excellent price on products including the spoiler as well. It's also straight from Scion/Toyota which is nice. I will be ordering a spoiler from them hopefully within the next month. Here's the link.

I just got one of those painted ebay spoilers and its actually quite decent. The only thing I changed on it was I removed the super thick foam rubber gasket and put 2 layers of 3m moulding tape on it. I didn't trust the pressure of the foam gasket against 2 screws.

Just beware when ordering from pro-hitch2 on ebay as they ship via the slowest cheapest method despite you paying for expedited delivery. They use UPS SurePost....SUPER slow!

I have the eBay version and it does not fit flush. It uses only 1 screw per side versus the 2 per side from the oem model. After installing, there was a lot play and had a 1/2 inch gap and would not sit flush. I removed the foam tape and used quite a bit of black silicon glue (I have a black xb) to fill in the gap and to keep the spoiler from teetering on the 2 screws holding the spoiler. It is now solid and not noticeable unless I point it out. The paint on the spoiler is spot on and looks oem.

They're actually Toyota of Puyallup, Washington. I'd just ask other dealerships if they'd match or beat their price. Works out fine for me, you may wanna try it.

That's what I did at my local dealer, I got the OEM spoiler at a great price and saved the shipping cost.
