Hey Guys,

I know this topic has been done to death a million times and there are heaps of helpful how-to's on converting your 3 post hatch to a 2 post one.... my problem is that I don't want to drill and fill my hatch, because the 3 post will be going back on later (What... I like it ).

Following some GT4 riser blocks and a 2 post spoiler coming up locally super cheap, I have been thinking about giving the look a go. However, I have been thinking about trying to modify the actual riser blocks to fit the holes already drilled in the boot.

Any insight from people who have done the conversion and have see both bits in person would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Josh

I wouldn't want to risk messing them up since they are just plastic (or fiberglass if you get reps). Also, IMO, the mounting holes would be too close together from the 3 post and you would risk the stability of the 2 post by it being mounted in a different way.

I don't really care about the blocks themselves... they are only $50 including the spoiler and need a bit of TLC anyway... so not a huge loss if it doesn't work out.

The concern about the closeness of the mounting points is what I was worried about... I'll search out some diagrams when I get home and see exactly where they line up... I know one bolt is already on the right spot... so it might not be toooo bad

pick up a spare boot from a donor celica, that way you can swap over, and you don't have to worry about redrilling etc

I wonder who found you that GTfour spoiler

^find me cheap things locally!! I want cheap things!!

Thanks for the comments guys. I have moved away from the idea a bit now. Apart from the fact that the seller still hasn't replied to me, I don't have room to store a spare hatch and I don't want to drill mine, so that leaves me stuck... And apart from that, I don't think the GT4 spoiler is right for the classy / sleek but moderately sporty look I'm going for... It's a bit big and chunky And even though its really cheap, since I have metallic paint it will cost at least 3-5 times its asking price to get painted.... So all in all I think I'll sit this one out. Thanks for the input

If it was close to me, I'd get it just to re sell it


BTW for everyone else, it was $50 or something...
