if you don't order XM radio

if you don't order the XM radio, does the car still get a fin?

I LOVE THE FIN!

i dont think the TSX gets the fin, it looks more like a nub...a fin like on the BMW's would look better IMO but we get a nub...

Not if you think of it as nipples.

Nipples are good IMO.

All 2005 TSX come with the nub/nipple/box on the roof. XM is not an option, if you keep XM (keep paying it) is up to you. A special edition Mitsu EVO MR has fins on the top of the roof that help to control air flow behind the car, so they say.

yeah isnt that the FQ400 they are only making about a 100 of those bad boys and they have 400hp...it is basically sold as a race ready evo for extreme enthusiasts...i doubt it will be sold in the US and expect a pretty hefty price tag overseas...

Too bad cars with XM aren't airtight. It would be nice to drive them under the surf at your local beach and scare the swimmers. If you could somehow rig it so that the theme from "Jaws" was playing on a loudspeaker at the same time, that would enhance the effect.

Was curious about the Lancer Evolution VIII, on the Built-Your-Own page, the info for the option "Air Dam," says "Mostly for looks. Really, really good looks." They are so honest.
