Hey, I really want these spoiler blocks, I couldn't meet his reserve and he offered the pair for NZD$400 which I wasn't prepared to pay.
Someone asked a question on his auction offering $100 he blew off as a joke, which is a bit less than what I think they're worth but nowhere near $400 especially since enthusiasts on boards like these mass produce these in fibre glass right? I'm sure these will come up at some stage or another from someone wrecking a GT4 but it could be any time between now and infinity and I do want them at some stage during the life of the car under my ownership. On a side note Rusty bought his full set of GT4 calipers and discs for $500 so compare that to the $400 that this guy is wanting for his riser blocks. A full GT4 is worth about $9000 in good condition to add a little more perspective and 3s-gte gen3 engine is roughly $3000. So how does this weigh up to getting in on a group buy and paying for international postage to New Zealand?

they can be bought new for $270 USD before shipping. but the oem blocks are heavy and made of stronger material. they're about 4lbs for the pair while the fiberglass ones are about 1 lb. each block also come apart and are essentially held by 2 screws and 1 nut which makes installation a bit easier.
i have a set of used oem blocks (black) i can ship asap and willing to let go for a good price but shipping from Canada to NZ is close to $85 USD (according to the online find-a-rate service). let me know if you're interested. besides getting oem blocks, the fiberglass ones cost about $175-$200 USD before shipping.. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
