My DCW raiser blocks are ready to be mounted. But when i ordered the gaskets from Toyotaworld, they told me that they were discontinued.
 Are they really required? I know some people used double sided tape. For those of you that did, how's it working for you? Are there any long term problems? Thanks in advance. --------------------  "Remember, amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic. But revolutionaries built the Celica!"- Me |

i am not using any type of gasket or double sided tape... but it would be good if at least the holes are sealed. but either way, the hatch has drainage holes in the rear in case water seeps in.

I just send the extensions back because they had some overspray and orangepeel and i wanted to install them all at the same time. So i got about a week. -------------------- "Remember, amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic. But revolutionaries built the Celica!"- Me |

I got it. 28USD for pair. 10pairs available in Europe (plus about another 10USD for shipping) -> so $38 should be your final price... just count if it's worth or not...

jesus... Use some double side tape - and everything will be PERFECT!! Cuz the gap between trunk and blocks and between blocks and spoiler is less the 1mm, so double side tape will do the jub just perfectly.
BTW- hows the fitment of the extensions? use Double side tape to mount them too -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

The body shop said that they'd have it done by the end of this week. So around this time next week, i should be sporting the extensions and the raiser blocks! (Now if i could only get my sideskirts mailed to me soon.  )

the only problem i had was that my 3 inch exhaust rattled the bolts out even with lock tight. i picked the gaskets up and haven't had any issues yet. *crosses fingers*
