or you could just go after the raiser block look... That would look really good on your GT-4...
 The spoilerless look is "eh..." in my opinion... It looks good, but I'm always left with the feeling that something is missing... Without a spoiler the car looks kinda boring... but thats just me... do what ya want  Oh and my celica... its white... wingless... but a convertible... dont know if that helps ya too much tho

i took mine off today, just to see what i think about it.
im gunna ask a few buddies what they think tom. if it looks better or not, and they normally dont give me crap answers cause they love the car, so hopefully ill get some good answers and be able to lean more one way or the other. i think its sexy from the side, but if you look at it from the back its kinda....eh...missing somthing. -------------------- |

Im just thinking - a GT4 without the GT4 spoiler might look good, but i've never seen one. The reason I ask is because i've got the 3 post spoiler and i've heard it takes a fair bit of work to put a 2 post spoiler with the raiser blocks.

i think a spoiler brings out the celica, but since you have a GT-4 i would leave it on that wing is so nice.

I have a spoiler-less hatchback. I took it off just to test fit a 2-post (I had a 3-post). I actually never liked the spoiler-less look, even seeing pictures... but its completely different in person, it changes the whole car. it grows on you within the first 5-10 mins. Batman722 even liked it so much we took his off the same day. I think since I don't have any bodywork (skirts or splitters) it looks really clean and simple... so I'm not really sure how it would look on a GT-4.
I posted about taking it off here: 3 post to 2 post

wing makes it look sporty. wingless on a hatchback doesn't look to bad actually. but wingless on a coupe doesn't look as great as a wingless hatch.

Yeah, i wouldnt recomend going spoilerless for a GT4, makes the car look really small and kinda weird. It looks sleek at the back but kinda agressive at the front- a weird combination that i just didnt like. So now i have some raiser blocks. My car hasnt been lowered or anthing though.

I took the spoiler off my car 97 Celica SX (GT). It had the 3post spoiler but without it when u look behind makes the rear fenders/guards look so much fatter. The spoiler kind of covered it up. But if u have GT4 raiser blocks leave em on, because its a GT4!!! lol
