Default swapping trunks...

For those of you who may have done this, how easy was it? I've swapped hoods and imagine it's pretty much the same. Also, did you swap the faux gas cap as well? Would make sense to do this as if you wanted to manually open the trunk, you'd need your key. Thanks!

I just swapped my stock trunk set up for a freshly shaved one... the whole process takes about 30 minutes but I did it in two phases.

The lock cylinder and associated "guts" come right out so you can transfer the cylinder to your new decklid. And mind you, I swapped to a new stock part... no springs, trim, screws or wiring... if you were to swap with a friend, you could do it even faster.
