Anyone WTT their silver wingless trunk for STI?
Hi all,
I have a flawless '04 STI trunk with spoiler that I'm looking to trade for a wingless trunk.
This is a no cash deal; we just swap and you get an OEM STI spoiler for free!
I'm in west LA.
If you have any interest, PM me or email me directly at redline76"at"hotmail.com"
Thanks,
Warren.

Patrick and I swapped trunks in a light drizzle on Saturday morning.
What first looked to be a 15 min swap actually took close to 4 hours!
1) Remove trunk lids (easy)
2) Remove lock from trunk lids (semi-easy)
3) Remove springs from car 1 (b***h)
4) Partially remove sound system from car 2 to get a springs (easy)
5) Remove springs from car 2 (semi-b***h- got the technique down
6) Install springs in car 1 (super B***)
7) Install spring in car 2 (easy - got the technique down
8) Install trunk lid on car 1 (easy)
9) Install trunk lid on car 2 (easy)
10) Remove parcel shelf and brake light from car 1 (easy, but time comsuming)
11) Remove parcel shelf from car 2 (easy but time consuming)
12) Install parcel shelf/brake light on car 2 (easy - takes time)
13) Install parcel shelf on car 1 (easy takes time)
14) Reinstall sound system in car 2 (easy)
I think we both ended up very satisfied with the trade. Now, to continue to stealth-out my STI...

Yes, I am stoked with my new STi wing!!!!
At 80mph, I can def. feel the car track a bit more smoothly.. it's 50lbs of downforce I hear at 80mph and 80lbs at 145mph which I wouldn't try unless at Big Willow.
Did the Tombstone Rally-X in Corona the same day, and it was a BLAST!!!!!
Ran stock RE-92's and stock everything except my strut bar brace that bumped me to Street Modified 4WD.. no bigge..
Never ran that event, and best was 1:14 which I was happy with..
All the slow teardown/rebuild paid off-- Thanks Warren!

Ya, it was a Subie Fest.... so many silver WRX's and RS's....
I have black rally mud flaps that stick out.. it was a trip to see your? blue taped up car... went over board a bit.. Rally-X isn't that bad on the paint which is good.. we barrowed some tape for my car...
I just covered the wheel wells and the seams with race tape. It was easy to spot..
Later,
Patrick
