The rear deck spoiler is great. Got mine installed a couple weeks ago (had ordered it early in the summer)
it gives the back of the car a totally different look, most importantly it removed the unsightly rubber radio antenna.
I removed the antenna the day I got the car, but the "stump" of the black rubber antenna was still there attached to the XM antenna. FM radio was "ok" without the antenna, but I listen to XM most of the time so it wasn't an issue. Now that the spoiler is on, radio reception is fantastic as it should be.
Once you have the spoiler on, they also change the XM antenna to a XM "bump". its a bit smaller and shaped differently than the curvy XM antenna that comes with the car initially. Looks great, and not like a shark fin on the BMWs, etc.
Also, the spoiler replaces the small "chrome spoiler" (in fact, they remove the chrome spoiler entirely to put on the new spoiler) so there is no longer a chrome finish.
personally, I think it completes the car, and its a worthy investment in looks and in function. Plus, no more black rubber antenna.... that in itself makes it worth it
hope this helps.
