You already bought it, and it won't really cost THAT much to fix it, and EGs are my favorite Civic. I say do it!

my bf's car has pretty bad rust on his trunk...you guys are suggesting to fix it. how would he go about doing that? because we were just going to get a new trunk....but this seems like the *hopefully* cheaper option...

=x to the maker of this thread, sorry to steal it with my question

Right on the trunk lid? If so, replacing it with a new or used lid is probably best. If he doesn't want to mess with paint, finding one of the same color and good condition will be a SOB...anything other then bondo is always good.
