trunk swapping ? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

bxracer69 · 2005-11-28, 03:28 PM

The question is can an 02 lid be swapped with an 04-05 sti lid, even though there is a difference in the tail lights w/ the addition of the circle?

I think the answer is yes, teh little circle only changes the bumper but not the trunk lid. Can someone please verify this for me?

Nick Koan · 2005-11-28, 03:31 PM

The answer is yes.

Pete here has a bugeye with an STi trunk/wing on it.

MattR · 2005-11-28, 03:40 PM

It can be done, Pete has the technology.

If you find a desperate STi owner you may get an equitable deal.

I've seen trunklids go as high as $500- with the money going both with and for the STi trunklid.

bxracer69 · 2005-11-28, 03:54 PM

sweet guys, thanks for the confirmation

MattR · 2005-11-28, 04:20 PM

Deede is thinking of swapping her trunk, right?

Kevin M · 2005-11-28, 04:33 PM

I believe so.

bxracer69 · 2005-11-28, 06:08 PM

yeah, thats y i asked, she pm'd me. Then I told her I had a bugeye and she said it wouldn't work. Someone tell her it wil, i really want an sti lid.

knucklesplitter · 2005-11-28, 09:17 PM

I sold my STI trunk/wing to a bugeye. It works fine.

sybir · 2005-11-28, 10:08 PM

I'll take care of Deede

sti deede · 2005-11-28, 10:19 PM

Heehee Aaron took care of me.

Give me a couple of days to mull it over. I'm wondering if I'll miss my big sexy wing. I really like to hug it.

Sorry for the confusion, I called maita and they said no, and I didn't know anyone that had personally done it.

I've got an STi wing on my bugeye. Just remember to swap the trunk springs. Mine barely stays open.
