2005 STI for WRX wing

Anyone want to do an even trade? I have black.

Do we need to swap trunks too? I hope not. Must be in excellent condition.

You will need to swap trunks. The STi wing has alot more mounting holes than the WRX wing. You will also need to swap the torsion bars (the springs that push up the trunk). Good luck.

Thanks for the tip. Wouldn't I need to swap the trunk locks too? Is this something maybe I can do myself?

Yep you'd need to pop out the trunk locks and swap them too. Nothing complicated - It can be done easily by the 2 ppl trading.
