I'm looking to add a bit of height to the rear spoiler as i think it doesn't really work to well on the car but i don't particularly like the style of those GT4 Riser Blocks I've seen around and just wanted to know if there were any other aftermarket options for the 6th Gen Celica ?

there's also the euro riser blocks. They're about half the size I wanna say, of the GT Four ones and are smooth with no wording on it.
Other than that I do believe, you either gotta make your own riser blocks or change your spoiler. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

^+1 just a FYI. The euro riser is going to cause the spoiler to be right in the middle of your rear windshield. So it'll be hard to see.

Your options for raising the stock spoiler are the GT4 blocks, which you've already ruled out, the Euro riser blocks, or the DCW half riser blocks. The half riser blocks are basically just GT4 blocks, but half as tall.
Euro blocks: DCW riser blocks: Otherwise, it's all aftermarket spoilers. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates. Even Socrates told us to use the search button!

Had never seen the DCW ones... they look better than the GT-4 IMO, smoother curves. I bet the spoiler sits right where you can't see anything back though.

i bet too, the GT4/SS3 spoiler blocks the view, but you still have a bit of a rectangular strip of vision below it.
those half sized blocks will most definitely be in the way, but you'll see above it, so peoples following distances have to be further or you cant see them -------------------- Mike W

The euro spoiler doesn't block vision too badly... I can still see that cars are behind me...
And at night it perfectly blocks their incorrectly angled beams... -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
