Do they not drill to fit the TRD spoiler?

Most spoilers are drilled to the boot, that why you see holes under it and people user those plastic things to cover it

I thought ALL spoiler were drilled... Just the way he said it seemed like it was a terrible thing... Ill only have a problem with my boot being drilled if the TRD spoiler is different hole placement to Aero which is near impossible i would think as the Aero wing is the Nur wing....

All factory spoilers are drilled/bolted. Pretty sure the NUR and TRD will be different. The Nur will be like previous celica/supra spoilers (2 holes/bolts on each side). I haven't seen TRD but it's just a lip so should be 1 hole per side.

Cheers boys.... So in regards to the Aero wing they would have to have the pitch of the wing tested to 200km+ as its only fitted by 4 screws yeah??? Which means it offers very little downforce even at high speed otherwise it would break away or warp the boot.....

Would u guys agree???

if it's like other toyota wings, the mount points will be in the strengthened section of the lid above the frame

I read somewhere that its been designed to give downforce and is functional spoiler. But there also is a weight issue.

But hey Subaru STI sedans have big wings same concept I guess

Finally saw a silver GTS at my nearest dealership!!! A whole bunch of guys came to see it and we were all standing around it in awe lol Looks fine! Unfortunately I don't know how to drive manual yet so I couldn't drive it; sat in the passenger's seat with the manager behind the wheel. MANG! That guy must be a rev-head- he revved it crazy and at cruising speed it had nice grunt to it- enough for me (a camry driver) to notice. experience.
