What do most people think of it, on non gt-FOUR celicas ? kindasad.gif

Personally I like the look, from the side and rear, and front, I guess it look a lil wierd from an angle sometime but I must say I really like the "solid" look of it, doesn't look cheap like some spaceship aftermarket spoilers. I also like it as a "memoire" of the 90s styling trends.

I ask cause I'm still debate if I would do that as a future mod...and what about the GT-FOUR writing on them, should I leave it on? I'm anti "fake badging" but I'd hate tampering with a real toyota part kindasad.gif .

one thing about the shorter blocks that people do not realize is that the OEM blocks are tall for a reason. they are made so that the spoiler dosnt block your view in the rearview mirror. if the blocks were shorter, you would probably not be able to see anything out the back.

They arent blocking the view at ALL. They are right at the good height of view, almost the same as GT4 blocks...

I never was a fan of GT4 blocks... But once i saw them in reality on my SSIII (ssIII blocks) i just felt in love with them... At first - i removed the spoiler compleatly - but after a while i came back to them - and now i just cant imagine my car without this type of spoiler...
