94-95 spoiler on 97-99 trunk help... Options

[ElementGT4]

ok i did a little searching and couldnt really find a definite answer but i have a 97 celica and was about to buy the gt4 rising blocks and spoiler but since the 97 have the 3 things in the back i was wondering if it would still fit or if i would have to like get a new trunk or somthin thanks..

Raising blocks won't work with a 96+ spoiler. Only 94-95. What you're gonna have to do is buy a 94-95 spoiler and then you can get raisin blocks. As for the holes. Not sure if they will align. Might have to drill new ones and cover the old holes. Btw there's 2 94-95 spoilers in the buy/ sell section

Nope they will not line up at all. You will need to drill in 4 new holes (2 on each side) and make sure you line it up right. You don't want the blocks to sit to far up or to far back on the hatch. Also your gonna need to cover the holes aka sanding and then bondo then paint..etc to make it look clean. I would say the easiest way would be to some how find a 94-95 hatch from a junk yard and use that but then the chance for finding the right color with minimal damage is 1 in a million. Also might cost the same as option 1. Good luck.

its been done, you havent searched with the right words.

there's a thread that Hurley made filling in the holes on her hatch. you can use that thread to fill in your old holes. as for drilling the new ones I cant seem to find the thread that someone made

im using the wrong words in my searches too

you need some no headed pointy bolts to make a mark for the front holes where to drill, the rear bolts line up just fine to the middle holes of the 3post.

sand off the studs from the riser blocks that line up to the middle holes in a regular 3 post hatch.

Spoiler showed up this morning

The middle hole here lines up to the rear nut in the spoiler, and perfect on the other side too

I decided to sand off the middle studs on the bottom of the wrc extenders to save drilling extra holes and I bolted it down, it all lines up perfectly.

Now the plan is to use the rest of the guide from 97lestyousay (cheers for that, good writeup.) In the mean time heres what it looks like...

Spoiler debadged, cleaned and mounted. Drilling was relatively straight forward, now just needs to be painted.
