GT-FOUR spoiler blocks, what most people think of it? Options

[Rayme]

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

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 .

[bloodrain]

i think its sexy... only thing to make it better is power to match

[CelicaZR]

I would only have it on a GT-4 or a look-a-like GT-4, thats my opinion.
For non GT-4 I would go with custom raiser blocks.

^ that celica looks like it has Lotus wheels on it.

[purplegt4]

there were different blocks of different sizes and with different words. if you want oem but dont want gt-four on it why not get a pair of ss-III blocks. i like those

[celiracer]

or talk to doggy and get the same gt-four ones with no writing on them.. they look sexy

i love mine.

i have the writing on mine detailed with silver paint so that it stands out. i think it looks great, and honestly 99% of people out there dont even know what a GT4 is, so it really dosnt matter. its still an oem toyota part made for a celica. its not like your are putting on supra TT badges on your car or anything like that.

if it really bothers you, you can get it without the writing from doggy.

I wonder if anyone sells it with a "SS-III" writing on it..

[doGGy]

Hehe Soon - pretty soon

I wonder if anyone sells it with a "SS-III" writing on it..

[Rayme]

whats the usual price of them? I see them for like 150$ on ebay

[Kadett]

My 2 cents:

I like the blocks, and those of doGGy's (shorter version). It's not up to me to say if you dont have a GT4 it shouldn't be on the car. Its a part that came on a 6th Gen Celica. Just like the GT4 rearstrut brace or the GT4 front end. Its all OEM and interchangeable . Same goes for SS-III splitters (if you have the 96+ bumper)

But to the GT4 front end i would have to say only get it if you do/have done a swap or have turbo'ed your engine. Because the holes in the bonnet are there for a reason.

I am leaning on wanting Doggy's custom shorter blocks. Here me Doggy! What color are they before paint? Thanks Doggy.

lol- waiting on my all black spoiler blocks on threr way from DCW just now......cant wait ! Good price/ good service

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.

I have seen the rear view shots from Simabraz car. It isn't blocking as much as u think.

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...

can I see a pic of a car with those shorter version of the blocks? (doGGy's ?)

[Coomer]

Most of the time the spoiler blocks never look good to me online. But in person, they look really good and flow really well. I love the way Natalie's car looks with them.

i like them. but i wouldn't get them without the hood and the bumper. and the 3s-gte. and might as well throw in the awd conversion.
