I have a OB 05 coupe with a spoiler and would like to trade for a trunk lid without one. Anyone in DFW interested? I am located in Dallas at walnut hill and 75.

 

bump

 

bump....i know someone out there without a spoiler wants one

 

I am interested, I have 07, debadged....

 

have any pics of the current condition? I wonder if the paint will look the same due to age of trunk.... oh well, can only see, right?

 

no pics, i will try to get some up tonight though. i cant imagine that the paint would be any different. i dont think that the trunk lids are the same from 05 to 07. someone correct me if im wrong.

 

Well, if not the same then that could be an issue! If you find out, let me know as I am local and willing to give it a shot....

 

well, i looked at pics of the 05 and the 07 and i couldnt tell a difference, so i'm guessing they will work. i cant take pics till this weekend, so if you want to meet up one evening or this weekend pm me.

 

Only thing I am now worried about is 1. Hex screw, I don't have a screw driver for this type.... 2. Electrical line that runs to release, not sure how it all goes together. If you can figure it out, we can try the swap...

 

They are the same.

 

Found out the hard way, '05 has three electric plugs (one for internal trunk light, one for trunk release, and one for spoiler tail light) and the '07 only has two plugs (internal trunk light and trunk release is one plug, and then spoiler light plug).

Wouldn't have been hard to make it work as the trunks had the following wire combos...
'05 Trunk light plug: black and red wires, trunk release: black and green
'07 Trunk light/release plug: black, red, and green in one plug

could have just cut plugs off, tied black wires together and connected like colors to new harnes of the other trunk.... but we decided not to jump into it as we ran in to quite a few issues...
