sorry for the revival but... while reading lots of post on spoilers, I've seen statements like this a lot... spoilers aren't just for looks.... nor, as some others say, are they jsut for downforce which people say is useless on a FWD car.... a decklid spoiler can also reduce the overall drag coefficient on a vehicle... not always by a lot but it can make a difference... I haven't found any info on what efffect the SCION OEM spoilers may have but it could be a benefit... for instance (and some of you will hate this) the new Si (which I abhor) has a functional decklid spoiler, meaning it reduces the aerodynamic drag on the car.... doesn't look like much but it works... I wouldn't be surprised if the tC pedestal spoiler had a similar effect...

i really dig the pedestal spoiler and this is my first car with any type of wing. i think the butt definitely needs something. i think it fits and is not obnoxious at all.
and i don't understand the people here who say it adds 35hp...mine definitely adds 45whp...so maybe you guys need it dyno tuned??

I don't really like any other spoiler on the tC unless it's the Kaminari Wing. When my Dad got the car for me, he ordered the pedestal and I didn't know what it looked like until I went online and saw it. For about a year and a half I didn't know what to do, so instead I spent money on power mods and some cosmetics. Only NOW I'm actually starting to take things a lil more seriously, by researching over and over and waiting until I feel it is the right time to buy ANYTHING for the car.
So just last week, I started looking at the Kaminari Wing (Non-adjustable, carbon fiber blade) and thought to myself, "it's time to get rid of the pedestal spoiler" and so I ordered it on Monday of this week and Kaminari are the BEST people to order from. It was delivered to me TODAY and I'm going to the bodyshop tomorrow to see how much it'll cost to paint it, remove my current spoiler and fill the holes and paint over it and install my Kaminari wing.
In my opinion, there is no other spoiler out there that's good for the tC, the Kaminari Wing is the best. I personally HATE lip spoilers cuz if ur gonna get a "spoiler" get a real one, not something that just "sticks" out a little bit. As for the antenna, the S2k one is the way to go, the stock one makes the car look HORRIBLE!

I feel like something is missing when I see a tC without one.
the back end is just to blah without it.
Sorry, I'm jaded as I have one too, but I picked THAT tC because it looked better to me.

Dont get me wrong, its still a beauty, but the pedistal really brings it down and would look much better with a lip, aftermarket spoiler, or nada IMO

I do like how the pedestal looks on that black ride there, however I know a girl who has one on a SW and I totally think it looks nasty. So I think color may have something to do with it. I like the lip, but i plan on getting it in an accent color like black or carbon fiber due to it really not standing out enough.

is there a new pedestal spoiler on the 07's? The one I've seen on every thing since 05 is the only oem pedestal spoiler on any car I've ever really thought looked right with the body lines.
...not my cup of tea but still far from ugly imho.

To each to their own.
