I had a spoiler on my 1994 Camry. I think it really helped to make a boring family sedan look more sporty and separate it from the hundreds of thousands of other Camry's out there.
But now I don't miss having a spoiler at all. I would like to see some pics of the TSX with spoiler though.
Also.. the Mazda6 looks naked without it, partly because I've seen so many with factory body kit including spoiler. (And the whole thing, including 17" wheels, is a relatively cheap add-on.)
Oh... and ::THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS::

Well, Larch, you're not entirely wrong. It is possible to have a spoiler that adds downforce and weight. Check this out.

I bet that thing looks like Optimus Prime from above.

Peronsally i plan to get the spoiler for its looks and to distinguish it from all the other TSXs.
I have a feeling that there will be soon a lot more TSXs on the road as time goes on and i do not wish it to be the same. I like the looks of the car and i am young (not implying that old people don't get the spoiler but a lot seem not too) so i wish to be different.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone!! I think I'm leaning towards NOT getting the spoiler, and saving the $$$ for something else. I still have 3 weeks to think about it. TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK...

FWIW, here's some decent pics of the spoiler on a SSM for sale in Kansas. It looks good, but not necessary.

Hello guys! I love spoilers on cars, but the spoiler on a TSX makes the car look smaller, plus it's $699.99 Oh well, everybody got their own taste. If you want a spoiler on your TSX, more power to you.. I saw my Arctic Blue Pearl TSX, with a spoiler at the dealer and I didn't like how the spolier looks.
