Wow, three days later and I have the pads in my xB... now that's fast service! The pads are nice... they seem to grip real well, even to the point they wouldn't slide out of the wrapping
I ended up getting the one that goes on the dash, in front of the gauges, in addition to the 17 piece set, and he combined shipping, so that saved a couple bucks in the end. He also included some double sided tape squares to hold them in place, but they don't seem all that necessary.
