what do i have to do to get my TW si Trunk lid completely bare so i have no wing but no holes from the spoiler???? Body Shop perhaps?? if anyone has done this and knows how much im looking at i would like to know, thanks!!!!!

 

body shop for sure... there are alot of holes under that wing.. lol

could always swap trunks with someone

 

body shop would have to fill the holes & repaint

a GOOD shop will blend to your rear 1/4 and bumper and be costly....

cheap shops will spray your trunk after filling & send you on your way.

You have a coupe or sedan?

 

talk to ill roller...he shaved his trunk...i want an EX trunk though...i like that little lip spoiler

 

i have an ex and that little spoiler your talkin about is piece of plastic with double sided tape.

 

i have a coupe on order from the dealer, tw white si, im in spain right now and i wont be home until july to get it, but already have a black fg1.

You would need to have all holes welded shut, mudded, primed, painted...and Type X is right, if they are gonna do it right the quarters need blended, most won't paint the bumper because bumpers rarely match from factory.

are there any holes left over from the EX deck lid spoiler? I'm asking because I have an EX as well, i wanna remove the deck lid but i dont want there to be holes showing.

 

Wouldn't you need a new brake light if you went from an Si to and EX trunk?

Legally, probably... But who the hell cares?

 

the ex does have screws from down under to hold the spoiler...

From Australia?

 

why would i need a new brake light, i have the brake light from the tail lights, and i guess im not sure about the spoiler on the ex, didnt thing there were any screws holding it on. my Si is on order from the dealer and im gonna request that he gets it without any spoiler of any kind whatsoever.

 

here you see the nut/bolt

and here you see some kind of plastic guide
now you just made go outside and take these pics with my cellphone and a maglite, so i expect a beer nonetheless...

If they're talking about your third brake light, there was a law past in 1980 that all vehicles are required to have a third brake light. It's illegal to drive around w/o a 3rd light. I believe the Si's third light is in the spoiler, and the EX is in the back glass, therefore if you were to swap trunks, or even spoilers you would be w/o a third light and in risk of a nice fine.

better request before you order.. the SI isn't available without the spoiler, so it would have to be an agreement between you and the dealer before hand that they would replace your trunk with a "wingless" one. Good Luck with it, expect a hard time from them about it though

Thanks for clarifying for me...I meant the 3rd one.

 

99% of dealers won't arrange any sort of part swapping on a new car, even if you're signing the papers.

Blending into the quarter panels is only required if your car is a metallic color, otherwise it makes no difference. (unless its a shitty shop that can't match the paint properly)

As for the 3rd brakelight, you most likely won't get ticketed for it (I've had no problems in the 6 or so months I've gone without mine), but if you're really paranoid you can buy an ex decklid with the 3rd brakelight built in.

 

wheres my beer?
