2011 STi Sedan to WRX Sedan Trunk Swap DIY?

Does anyone know what is involved with swapping the trunk of the 2011 STi with the big wing with the 2011 wrx deck wing?

I've searched around but I haven't seen anyone post up a DIY for it so I would appreciate if someone could give me some tips on how to get it done.

Thanks in advance!

It's pretty easy, just unbolt the trunk from the hinge and swap. If you want to swap the torsion bars you have to look under your deck lid of your trunk and swap them accordingly. There is tip guide on 3gwrx but I can't find it at the moment, but it is pretty simple to do.

I think the OP wants the wing since he has the '11 WRX

That makes more since. I just re-read it and sounded a little confusing being that I am running a 101 fever with the flu.
