He he, another difference from USDM celicas to EURO

And yup, my washers are so high that and i hate the looks of them... And the purpose for that spoiler is to keep your wiper down on the frontglass at speeds

And another thing... Not only ST205 came with it in europe, all the celicas ST;GT; GT4 have them

Yeah, I said that too in my post above... but I said ST20x

As for the purpose of the bonnet spoiler, where did you get that info from? Because according to my sources, Toyota discovered that when the car traveled at 250 km/h or higher, the bonnet would flex. As a result, it was added for additional downforce.

I would like to gather as much info on this as possible so that we could all come to the correct conclusion.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to provide the link, which I'm sure a lot of you have probably seen by now. This site is what I used to identify and confirm that my clip was a WRC. I believe this guy, Dan, who posts on GT4OC.com, has done all his homework and intensive research. I trust his word.

http://www.st205.net

The information can be found specifically on http://www.st205.net/techinfo/wrcornot.htm

Ya know there i got that info from, i just made some research (accidently

) After repainting i didnt put it on my car of the hurry, and after the 120 km/h my wiper started to wave, so i satrted to look for the proble solution, and i found that i was missing somthing

After i added it, everything came back to normal... So thats why i said that it purpose was to keem the wipers down

Maybe im wrong, but thats what happend to me

That's interesting Doggy. Maybe the spoiler serves multiple purposes. What I find odd tho is that I drive that fast all the time and never notice my wipers waving. I'll see if I can contact some reliable people on some GT-FOUR forums and find all possible reasons behind the spoiler.

NOTE to us Yankees: 120 KM/H = 75 MPH

Thanks Doggy...
