Hey guys,
I know this is kind of a shot in the dark but I'm looking for an OEM GT4 spoiler with the riser blocks. If I can get just the OEM blocks that would be okay too but I really want (and looking for) the gt4 ones. I know a lot of people are looking for the blocks or the spoiler. I almost got my hands on one in the same color as my car (red 3L2) but the site that had it falsely advertised it. If anyone has or is able to get a gt4 spoiler or just the OEM riser blocks then I would be interested in purchasing them. If it is possible to get I would greatly appreciate it if the spoiler was red (and of course the blocks would be black). I know that's asking a lot but if it's possible you might as well get what you want. If anyone can help me or at least point me in the direction to getting one than I would be very thankful. Thanks everyone. -------------------- "I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car than win by an inch because someone else built it for me"

you will have to drill and insert fasteners into the spoiler to mount it to the riser blocks. Luckily the spoiler is relatively easy to mount to the ruser blocks. I got mine for $30 cad. That's a steal!

If the pictures on your profile are up to date, you have the spoiler, you just need the riser blocks.
Pre-facelift block had GT-FOUR embedded in them. Facelift were smooth, with stickers. Replica block can be found both ways, embedded or smooth. Check this thread out. I would not suggest using this method, using screws to attach the blocks to the spoiler. The way I would will be to make two holes right next to each other, one where your bolt with go through and one where you can insert a nut. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=37720 Those are replicas , the original ones have some pretty big holes in the top area, these ones are smoothed out as you can see. -------------------- |

I think this is a much safer and better way than screws.
Drill a hole next to the main one, insert a nut or a plate with thread on it. Just make sure you glue it, so the blocks can be removed easily. -------------------- |

Thanks End for the reply. Seeing what I'd have to do if I got replicas makes me want to get the OEM ones more haha. I do have the 2 post spoiler and with OEM blocks it would be easy to install. I wanna get the old style that has "GT-Four" embedded into the blocks. If I can get some authentic ones then great, if not then replicas will have to do. I've also red that install thread and some of the other guys posted that there is a kit to installing the gt4 blocks. Is that true? And if so, would that be a good route to take regardless of which blocks I get?

Replica or not, they install the same way, their holes are the same. The only thing you have to worry about with replica is fitment. I bought replicas, I am not happy with fitment. Bought OEM, fitment is on point.
You don't need to buy any install kits, just get some stainless from the hardware store. -------------------- |

That does make sense, I have a lead on some replicas already but like you said fitment is an issue so that's why I want the OEM ones. Where did you get your OEM blocks?

Swapped some parts, didn't buy them. Just ask for a lot of pictures of the replicas, if you can't find OEM.

That makes sense. I'll see if i can get a set of OE ones first and if not, then I'll go with replicas. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.
