You just need to find a two post spoiler for a coupe then the standard riser blocks will work well. Searching for things for a 'vert can be kinda difficult but if the part fits a coupe, like this wing, then it gets a lot easier. There are a few members on here who have done the GT4 style wing on a 'vert.

The only reason you have to use a coupe wing is that the wings are a little bit wider than the hatchback. I think you can use a hatchback wing, but the posts wil sit crooked and look kinda weird. There is also a TRD style wing for the coupe, like presure2 has. MaskedMan has one on his 'vert.
Rear, center. I'm having a bit of trouble finding a close-up for you. You might PM him and see if he has one- http://www.6gc.net/members/1493 -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Suprakid has some pics of his coupe with a TRD wing in his new "Celica Story" I personally like the look on a coupe. Coomer's Yelli Celi had one too.

I got a 3 post coupe/vert USDM wing off a junk yard 6gen. Unlike the 5th gen, the center post doesn't have any wiring going through it, so the plan is to fill in the middle post mounting area (on the wing) with a bit of body filler, prime, and paint over it. Will post pics when the project is done.

you do know that you need a 3rd brake light because i believe it's illegal & you need it to pass inspection as well. (if you live in the US & in a state that requires inspection).

Dude, no ones even talking about the 3rd brake light, he's talking about the hole left from removing a 3 post spoiler. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

Saying coupes come stock with a 3rd brake light in the rear window it would be legal even if you were addressing what he was talking about.. |

Verts also have a 3rd brakelight right under the top.

Ah, here you go. Here is the coupe 2 post wing with GT4 riser blocks.

Like this? Sorry i beat ya to it Yes, yes. A lot like that actually. you do know that you need a 3rd brake light because i believe it's illegal & you need it to pass inspection as well. (if you live in the US & in a state that requires inspection). Yeah, I'm not taking it out. I'm just removing the post beneath it. The 5th gen spoiler has wiring through there. The 6th gen runs the wiring down to the end of the spoiler instead. So taking the middle post out won't affect anything. Saying coupes come stock with a 3rd brake light in the rear window it would be legal even if you were addressing what he was talking about.. And since it's an LED and doesn't pull too much draw, I feel like running the spoiler brake light off of the other 3rd light (inside under the glass) wouldn't really make too much difference. Guess I'll change that if I start blowing fuses though. Hahaha |

I just spliced mine directly into the rear tail light line because it is so close and i haven't had any problem(i also removed the 3rd window brake light as it looks sort of weird having 4 brake lights).

Yeah, that was kind of the route I was looking at going too. Maybe that can be something else to do today.
