2008 xB Custom Power Moonroof Pics, More
I got my xB back today, power sunroof installed. Install was clean and looks stock. I'm really happy with the results. Sunroof tilts with options on angle, or slides back into body. I had some requests to see the black spoiler I put on my Blackberry Crush xB, so here it is. I like the contrast and think it turned out great. My Scion dealer said they had never had anyone request a spoiler of different color from stock body color, but said it is my car so I can do what I want! The paint color is the xB stock black spoiler.

More pics per request
To answer questions:
I added a black spoiler instead of Blackberry for contrast more than anything. Just to do something different than the norm. In reality, at first glance most people would not even be able to tell the spoiler is a different color from the body.
The sunroof does have a lifetime warranty. Of course, I would have to pay labor.
The sunroof was actually on the options list at the Scion dealer I bought from (Roseville CA.). The cost installed was $1200.00. Pricey, but one thing I insist on having on any vehicle I own. The smart thing to do would have been to find out who did the dealer show car and cut out the middle man. Probably could have cut 25%+ off the expense.
EDIT: Found the power sunroof manufacturer. Here is their website with list of installers by state.

The install took 3 full days. Obviously a lot of prep work involved, including cutting, time to let seal dry, then interior upholstry finish.
Also, I have not had any noticeable wind noise, whistling, etc with sunroof tilted, or fully open. I have not taken car on freeway, so I cannot answer question at rates of speed over 50 mph. I'll post back after my first freeway experience.
