I like it black and no color matched. Black has a more Street look compared to a Show car look. Lol.

Ok. So I finally got around and got some cash! I ordered the eBay Hi-C roof spoiler and it's suppose to come in by the 28th! Can't wait for it! I'll post up pictures when I get it!

Goods: It looks nice and it's stuck pretty good.
Bads: Didn't come with clip(but the adhesive was amazingly strong) and didn't sit perfect Overall: I say it's pretty good considering how hard it is to get genuine parts for our cars. Installation was easy. Washed my car. Wiped are dry. Applied the Adhesive primer. Peeled back the adhesive protective tape and put it on there. Sits strong. Spent about 94 dollars after cali tax. + free shipping from South Cali. Here are the before and after shots:

I emailed the eBay seller about the clips. The adhesive is amazingly strong but I dont know how it'll hold up against the highway wind force. When I first put it on. I put it on crooked. So I had to put some muscle into it. To peel it off. I was scared I might break it considering how much force I was putting into it. Lol. Well, ima take it on a highway run tomorrow. Hopefully it'll hold.

Looks great!
I have a coupe and was hoping i could do the same to my own car. Going off of what the ebay link says, it should fit a coupe as well. Do you guys think i should trust ebay on it? Or is there no way that this product would fit a non-hatch? |

I do not believe that it will fit a coupe. I always thought all our celicas were hatchbacks or convertibles only? Lol. I mean I can tell the difference between the civic hatches and coupes but our celicas? The all look the same besides the convertibles. Can you shoot me some kind of idea on how to tell the difference? BESIDES reading the manual. Lol. -------------------- |

Celica has been available as a liftback or coupe since the very beginning. The front is the same, just the doors back is different.
Liftback:  Coupe:

I was more or less hoping for one a little bigger and more similar to the one installed in this thread. thanks for the help though! This post has been edited by snagmor: Jul 3, 2012 - 11:42 AM |

As far as I've seen, the BMW spoiler is as close as the coupe can get. Surely there is one that fits more like you want but nobody has found it yet. All we can do is keep an open eye for similar shaped cars.

Liftback: Coupe: oooooooooohhhhhhhh.................That's easy to tell. A liftback has the window along with trunk when you open it and coupe is only the trunk opens like a sedan would. -------------------- |

What part exactly doesnt sit flush/perfect? And how are the clips, holding it better? --------------------  |

And how are the clips, holding it better? I actually received the clips from the seller since it was suppose to come with it but he must've forgot it. It actually sits more flushed when I installed the clips. It grabbed the side of the spoiler/visor and "hugged" it against the hatch door. The clips are making it hold much stronger. Isn't as loose any more when I tugg it a bit. I'm satisfied with the purchase. Would recommend it to any liftback owners.

It fits pretty legit. Considering how hard it is to find aftermarket parts. $89.99 with free shipping is a good price. So far I have nothing to really hate on it. Everything is going well so far.
