Default swapping trunks, easy job?

For those of you that have swapped trunks, was it pretty straight forward? What does it involve? Looking to do so in the near future, thanks!

very easy...like 4 bolts and a electrical harness


before you do anything, pop the trunk and apply automotive tape to the edges of the trunk lid, and then do the same thing on the body panels surrounding the trunk.

that'll save you from chipping the paint hopefully



then simply unbolt that puppy and remove.



when you put the new one on, make sure to only snugly install the bolts and use the paint outline to align the new lid. then very gently and carefully lower the lid


check your alignment and rinse/repeat as necessary until you have it all squared up just right. then tighten down the bolts and reconnect the harness
