I started doing my own too a couple of weeks ago, but it's on hold for now because I don't have a heated garage and it's cold as hell outside. Fiberglass doesn't like cold weather!

I have the 06 trunk on my car right now. I wanted to have a spare trunk lid to play with, the one in the picture is my 05 one which I was going to have to get painted anyways because the paint around the spoiler and an area on the top part of the spoiler was coming off.
