trunk replacement question.

I just resently removed my wing off my evo x MR. I think it looks good, but i dont like the holes. I plugged all of them and painted them to match the car but still doesnt look as well as it should. i dont want to get another wing. i like just a plan trunk. I am looking for a non carbon fiber trunk without the holes. I have looked everywhere and all i can find is carbon fiber. any suggestions? thank you.

This.

Or, check the for-sale sections in this forum. A lot of Lancer owners would be willing to trade their stock Lancer trunk + cash (which will fit right on your car) for your MR trunk. You can make a little money in this one.

Or, check the for-sale section and buy a trunk lid from someone.

Or, check out some of our vendors who are Mitsu dealers. They can get you the OEM trunk. RussellM comes to mind as I've had some really great experiences with him. Send a PM.

Or, go to your local dealership and order the trunk lid from them. Will likely be the most expensive route.

Check with your dealership. I just traded my Octane blue Gsr trunk for a 2010 regular Lancer wingless trunk. Perfect fit,perfect match in color. Took us ten minutes to swap trunk as I don't have SSS package.

Its a win win situation since the operation manager at the dealership told me that most of the people buying the regular lancer in our area want the wing.

Might be worth it for you if they make the 2010 regular lancer in the same color as your car.

I also inquired previously and a OEM wingless trunk unpainted goes for $457.00CAN here which is ridiculous.

For some reason here in Canada the 2010 the regular lancer come in what seem to be the exact same shade of blue. It looks like the same installed on my car and nobody mentioned anything yet about the color not matching.

On the paint colors, most of them (if not all) between the Lancer and Evo are identical. They just have different names...it's all about marketing. Look at the paint code numbers. They pretty much all match up.

I can confirm that they were different up to 2010 MY. Now the regular come in OB.

The blue of the previous year had more of a purple shade in the sun.

You guys had me worried for a second I had to go check outside ...only it -17 right now and I'm probably gonna ended up catching the H1N1
