Swapping trunks

mmmken · 12-04-2008, 09:49 PM

Anyone know exactly what to do here? I'm going to try it myself in a bit, but if people have done it before - please give me some tips.

4 bolts prolly 10 mm undo the trunk actuator. thats all i can think of from the top of my head. depends on if u have an si or r18 also

Do you have to align the CF trunk though, or is it just simply bolting it on?

yea 4 10mm bolt, and you just need to take off the acutator, and make sure the trunk your getting is an ex, so it doesnt have a keyhole.. the alignment from an si to an ex trunk was not that bad, all of about 10 minutes

Cool, thanks. I don't need airtools and can get by with just a wrench or socket screwdriver, right?

yes its not that torqued at all. and with a cf trunk im not sure whether the holes are there or not but they should be. make sure u take off the rubber stops from ur stock one to put on the cf one if possible. post some pics when ur done
