Buffer and polishing compound should do the trick

Aren't you repainting them to match your car anyway? Just sand it down...

That's actually what I'm doing now I sanded them with 200 then 400 wet then layed down a coat of primer. Now I'm thinkin of leaving them black because I cannot find my color paint anywhere... So thinkin black

You should leave it black. Thats gonna look sick with your paint. Ive never seen a celica with your color with black blocks.

ok this is what i started with, sorry it took so long to get pics of them up but here they are
dirty when i got them,

when i started on them with the primer and sanding all that junk,

then this is basically the finished product,

i do like the primer flat black look, but still juggleing between flat and gloss, but i know that just leaving primer on them is not an option, so hopefully i can have them painted on wednesday and installed friday, so what ya think?

I don't know what it looks like in person, but I like the stickers that way actually- looks like they're incorporated into the riser, not just 'stuck on.'

Hey now, don't do that. Seriously, your car will look so good with these things. I'll try to help you out. I'll search with you to get a spoiler that's good. You can always see if you want to repair my first spoiler (Seriously, I have a collection of these damn things). It has the notch holes you need and is mountable, but you'd need to see if you can fix the crack on the underside.

My point is, never give up on a project because of a lack of funds at the present moment. Because once you have the money, you'll kick yourself for selling what you'll need to rebuy and repaint.

hmm this is true, how bad is that crack? and how would i go about fixing it?
and how much would you want for it?

That means the spoiler you have is not a authentic OEM 94-95? I mean you clearly have a 96 ST but with a 94-95 spoiler. All USDM authentic 94-95 spoilers have the indents to mount blocks.

Hey man I feel bad about your block situation. I have a extra 94-95 spoiler laying around my house. Its Silver (199) oem paint. If you want to pay for shipping I can send it to you. Just pay shipping. I originally had it for sale but no one wants it haha. So I'll give it to you for free just pay the shipping if you want. Just tell me the zip code and I'll tell you how much shipping will be. Let me know if your game...

DO THIS!

Seriously, this will be better than mine. The repair on mine will be very hard to do if you don't know exactly how to support it.

Ehhh, do the teal you have on your car. Spoiler and blocks one color and car another would look like a mistake.
