TRD spoiler help Options

[Valo666]

I still havent installed the TRD spoiler on sarah's coupe yet. The main reasons are that i need to figure out where/how to drill the holes into her trunk. The spoiler that we got from Eric *Daftboy* is kinda strange...it only has 1 bolt coming out of it..then a threaded hole for another. So i donno if it is a stud that is screwed into the spoiler, or if it is actually built into it. So i was wondering, any one who has a real or replica TRD spoiler, how did you mount it/make up the gasket and also was there a stud in the side posts?? the stud for sarah's spoiler is in the hole closest to the back of the post. Any help would be a great help.

Does her trunk lid have a spoiler on it already? When I get home I'll snap some shots of the bolt placement on the yelli celi and post them up.

i have 2 trunk lids right now..one has no spoiler off a convertable, and the other is on her car right now with an aftermarket 3 post spoiler on it

yeah i know it sucks. i found this out too when i received my hiro / trd replica spoiler. it has one bolt for each post. you gotta make your own holes to mount it down. ive had just the two bolts hold it down. just gotta tighten it really well. ive done 120 MPH with it like that and it stayed snug tight. good luck

my chrisc TRD replica was a 100% bolt on affair

this would probably be a direct bolt on..but i have no original holes to compair them to. Im gonna need to figure out where to drill the first holes just to make it look right/line up properly. Can you take a measurement of how far up from the edge of the deck lid it is and how far over it is from the side too 95celicaST??

[Daftboy]

If you look on the under side of the trunk lid you will see two plus that can be pulled out.....they look like plastic saucers...take those out then just drill up through those holes....at least that is what i did...lol...if you do it right it should fit right on...then i used side molding tape by 3m.. and put that on the front of the spoiler....never moved ever..

[Valo666]

dont have thouse holes either. checked. so i pretty much gotta drill and find the holes my self

you gotta remember pressure that this is for the coupe not the hatch. even with the 3post you are using atleast one of the pre-drilled holes.

the only thing that i could suggest is to put the wing together and see where it sits best and go from there but then again it does have that stud on there which may present a problem.
i'm sure that you won't have any problems getting it installed and looking amazing valo. i wish i had another celica that i could play with.
GL with the install

Yeah I'll do that. I took pictures of where the hole is drilled through, but I didn't have anything to measure the distance. I'll see if I can run out there and get pictures now. I won't be able to post them until tomorrow though, as I am currently on 28.8K dialup

its cool...thanks man.

[Daftboy]

No the holes where not there for me either...i used a dremel.....i drilled through the places where the holes should be.

[Valo666]

its alright man...i got the spoiler on without a problem yesterday..well except for where i drilled the holes were a bit lower then the 2 acess hols in the trunk, so i had to cut away at some of the metal and then grind it down a bit..but every thing is good now. and its FINALY on and painted. Thanks for the help guys and Eric thanks for the spoiler man.
