09 corolla S without rear spoiler? how come? anyways, putting on a rear spoiler will not void your warranty. and if i were to put on a rear spoiler i would buy an oem kind. www.trdparts4u.com has good items. maybe you can also get them at ebay which maybe cheaper. its all up to your budget.

hmm no clue. I got it at the dealer. It does have everything else for an S like 6 speakers, body spoilers, foglights, but didnt have a rear spoiler which is pretty disappointing.

Installing a non-OEM spoiler outside of the dealership will "likely" void your perforation warranty...and anything that is affected by the spoiler. (for example, if the non-OEM spoiler causes some failure on the trunk lid hinge or if rust starts to form near the spoiler, tough luck.

Basically, if you change the intended use or function of that part, and it fails (or can reasonably be attributed to your actions) then you'd be out of luck on warranty.

If in doubt, call Toyota directly.

If it is a Toyota accessory spoiler and installed by the dealer, then it would not affect the warranty coverage. Everything else is a question mark.

N.E.O.

sounds like you got the S package without the spoiler, aluminum wheels and moonroof. You could have told the dealer to special order you one with only the options you wanted. My co-worker ordered one with everything minus the cruise control and spoiler, and it had the JBL/BT/XM option and moonroof.

i have been reading about this bluetooth option on so many posts. just a few questions, are the controls of the bluetooth on the right spoke of the steering wheel? is the microphone of the BT on the head panel?
