Every time I go to look at something I see on here on google images, all I get are 7th gen celicas. Ugh.

And then 6th gen celicas turn up results that are off topic or not the right spoiler.

In any case, I have a 3 post spoiler, stock, at the moment.

I'm trying to decide between the GT-Four raisers (azian_advanced's pic):


The JDM spoiler:

Or the TRD spoiler, which I can't find a picture of - but, I was reading through another thread and someone said the TRD spoiler and the JDM spoiler are the same?

I'm just looking for confirmation that they are (or aren't) the same. And a pic of the TRD if they're not.

Also, can I do a GT-Four raiser block with my three-pronger? Or will that involve body filler :x although eventually I want a carbon fiber hatch sooo

Lots of questions, thanks in advance to whoever can answer them.

The JDM spoiler you have the Ebay link for is a TRD spoiler.

No amount of body filler will put your 3 post spoiler on riser blocks. You need the 2 post 94-95 spoiler for that.

JDM 101


both spoilers can be referred to as JDM, and so can be the hiro, Varis, Veilside, C-one among others so saying that any of these spoiler is " the JDM spoiler " is right and wrong. they are all JDM, but none of them is KNOWN as THE JDM spoler.

and nop, TRD spoiler and Raiser blocks are not the same.


Here is Presure2's car with a TRD spoiler.

I meant fill the third hole in the middle. My bad.

Thanks for the tips. I really do like the TRD/Stock japanese spoiler, JDM, whatever you want to call it, I still don't quite understand. If the GT-Four riser blocks involve filling and painting my hatch, I don't think I want to do it lol - I'm not confident in my rattle can abilities.

Answer is still the same, the lines of the 3-post are entirely different.

Yes, it would, because you have a hole in the middle, and I'm pretty sure that the endholes are different, but they might be covered up by the riser blocks. Either way, the middle hole would definitely have to be filled.
