Nevermind. It's just like a factory one, except you don't need to do anything to prevent rusting.

3M Body Molding Tape is used by pretty much all the OEM's for this very purpose, it's essential however to prep the area - both the Body Panel and Spoiler surface before using the Tape:

1. Remove any Wax you have applied, the easiest way is to wash the area down with Dish Soap and water.

2. Prep the area with 3M Adhesion Promoter/Cleaner. If you don't use this your Spoiler will probably fall off.

Be aware that you will need a Friend to help you place the Spoiler in the right position the first time so practice first because after using the Promoter/Cleaner and pressing the Spoiler onto the Hatch you will need a Hammer and Chisel to remove it again.

Can anyone help me out with a copy of the spoiler install template.
I can't seem to open the earlier linked one on the Scikotics forum.
Thanks.

[quote=CIONIDE;3748460]IMHO this is the best looking spoiler made for the xB2, but I don't think it's available in the U.S.


Notice how it looks like a factory body piece, and not an after-market add-on part.


I have the Toyota Rumion spoiler and its the best of them all

^ agreed. If someone would make a knock off rumion spoiler for the same price as the knock off xb2 one...well...I would already have it.
