I bought my xB with the oem spoiler already installed and like the looks of it.They charge way too much for it though.

1NZFE, I agree on the clear hood bug guard.I need one of those in a BAD way!

Default can't wait to see the new design

Spoilers are great, they break up the boxy shape a lil bit, enough that it compliments the general overall look of the car, and during rain its a blessing. Plus considering alot of us do travel at 85mph it helps...

I really think the idea would fly when Red Genie gather all the input on the spoiler to create a new style. Thinking this would be one killer looking spoiler build from all these input. Call me stubborn but I am still waiting for this Multi-Users Input Spoiler.

Spoilers/wings in general are dumb, IMO.

The stock basic little lip hanging off the top isn't bad though, that's smooth. Just stay away from WINGS. Yes, the well designed one's actually serve a purpose on a select few vehicles that cruise at 100+ regularly. The problem is that now every damn car built today seems to come with some kind of ghetto tacked on piece of crap spoiler as a piece of styling garnish, they are so played out it's not even funny. It's harder to buy a new sedan WITHOUT one than it is with.

Got to love the triple decker stacker wing on a 106 hp Civic DX that can barely maintain 75 mph on the highway with a 5% uphill grade. Wings are freakin ___ for the most part.

Whatever floats your boat, but they are retarded and if you drive an xB there is pretty much no point in doing anything related to aerodynamics. I can't imagine Toyota even bothered to do a wind tunnel test, if they did, I'd love to see photos LOL.
The only thing that looks more retarded than a sedan with a tacked on wing is a wagon or a box like the xB with a biplane wing on the roof.

It couldn't make less sense from any point of view, aerodynamics or styling, IMO...

I wasn't able to submit a vote in the poll.

The last option should of said, "spoilers are dumb / pointless / rice / carbage on certain cars" and I would of picked that one.

IMO, a spoiler takes away the boxy look and we all can admit it has NO performance benefit on the xB :?
