I've searched quite a few threads already, and just want to know...how do I remove my trunk? I'm talking about the wires/tubing that goes through the skeleton of the trunk to operate the lock & release mechanisms. My trunk has some damage, and I want to go wingless, and install a c/f trunk I already have.

Any help/guidance to where the how-to is on "how to remove/swap your trunk" would be much, much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

dang ur a lil far from me otherwise i would say come down buy me some lunch and id do it.

first thing you want to do is take out the wires then unbolt the latch, theres a wedge holding the lock of the trunk in place. not very hard to remove.

then you wanna take the bolts off the rods pushing the trunk up.. then you do everything in reverse.

btw not all carbon trunks fit well so you might have to take off the tension rods which is not easy to do.

Are there any good online tutorials? Â*I've finally got some tools, but I'm also down to drive down south for help...I live in Hawthorne/Lennox. Â*Yoshi, sorry I've been so slow to reply. Â*If you're still down to help me, please, let me know, and lunch is on me.

Peace,

^^^Also, I need to know Seibon c/f trunk torque specs for all bolts involved...if that's available (it doesn't seem so on Seibon's website).

tighten them by hand, you will know when is too much....there is no torq specs...

drive down at night, it will only take you 25mins....

it will take less time to actually install the trunk....

and yes the wires and key lock are a b!tch...

Hey, @sshole! How are you doing? Been a jerk to enough board members to make your sorry @$$ self feel better today?
For your information, I did just take my own trunk off--thank you very much!

I asked how I remove my trunk so that I wouldn't f@ck it up, jerkoff. Plus, I'm did it myself, and for the first time. I'm sorry I don't have your adventurous nack in hacking my car apart.

F@ck you,
Jason

lol.... dude.. if you met jap_whip in person.. just make fun of USC football this year.. and you will be vindicated...LOL


but on the real... we all learned how to do what your asking by just taking the car apart slowly... first rule of working on a car is dont be affarid to fuck up... if u are.. then go pay somebody to do it for you.

.02 ... and shit should never be taken serious on the internet.. there is no such thing as "emotional attachment".. through the web....LOL
