Every state has a junkyard. Use the search button and look in classifieds.

why do you need a new trunk to get rid of your spoiler? just take off your spoiler and seal the holes with some fiberglass filler or something like that. correct me if i'm wrong. ask the guys in the appearance/cosmetics forum. they will probably know what stuff to use and how to do it.

You running the stock spoiler or a huge wing? You sure it's the spoiler and not how you drive that's getting the attention?

Ebay has stock trunks from time-to-time, but what auction had a CF trunk?? I've never been able to find one of those.

Also, I might add that it's very easy to remove whatever spoiler you may have that's attracting attention , and just Bondo the holes. A trunk is easy to paint, and I think if you're not extremely picky, you could get away with wet-sanding and using matching spray paint.

why dont u just take your spolier off and put the stock one back on? or..just fill the holes and get it painted...why waste your money on a stock trunk when all you have to do is fix the one u have?

Put tape on the bottom of the holes, buy Bondo, mix Bondo, fill holes with said Bondo, let Bondo dry, then sand Bondo flush with trunk. Repaint if so desired.

Yikes, I see why you want to take it off.....nice car otherwise
