2011 GSR big wing removal?

I was wondering if you wanted to remove and put the little lip like the MR has do they use same holes for mounting them? Or is there paint and body work after removing the giant wing? Thanks CD

There will be holes in the trunk if you remove the wing. You can buy plastic plugs or maybe even some vinyl to cover the holes. You can get the holes filled and painted but if you choose to re-install the wing you will need to re-drill the holes.

Trunk swap is the best way. Post in a local forum or in the Want to Trade forum on this site and see what happens. It worked out for me.

Dunno about the leather seat deal but you can always check out the NTEC forum and ask.
I swap out my trunk with another local board member who wanted to trade his X SE trunk for my GSR trunk with same color. Made it easy and painless. You can also check out the Lancer forum and swap out a standard lancer trunk with yours.
