Trunk Swapper Complete
Saturday, April 20, 2013 3:39 PM
Finally decided to swap trunks on my 03 to an 02. Picked up a silver trunk and tails from the junkyard, sanded it down, painted it, and wet sanded and buffed it and damn it looks good. Looks better than the front fender the body shop did when my ex gf's mom backed into it with a suburban.

looks great!

What is that off of? I was wanting to do the same so I can get rid of the random carbon fiber center.

I was meaning model. I was under the understanding that the 2002 z24 spoiler had a couple extra holes?

My bad ... It was off of a base model. There weren't any holes in it, I drilled my own. Dont know how many the z24 spoiler has but the 03 is 5 plus the hole for the rear light.

Just took a look around and the z24 is 7 holes ... Looks like the extra two are at each end and the 03 spoiler most likely wouldnt cover em

Looks good. I never really liked the red strip all the way across. This is cleaner looking for sure.

I'd love to do that to my 04, but damn Metallic Orange is expensive, and not a factory color on the 02 and below. I think yours turned out quite well, looks good.

Thanks guys...I lucked out on the paint since my dad sells it. Also means a perfect color match, you'd be surprised how many shades of black there are.

I do not like 03-05 spoilers.
But I love the 03-05 spoiler on a pre-03 trunk lid!

Looks great, good choice!

Thanks! I looked around the forum for photos of the 03 spoiler on earlier trunks without the carbon fiber cover and couldnt find any. The z24 spoiler is too bulky for my tastes, the 03 seems to flow better with the curves of the car.

Thanks man! Still proud of how I laid the clear down. Anyone wondering it was painted with a devilbiss starting line 1.3 gun.

Damn that looks good. I'm stuck waiting to find a good silver trunk at the junk yard so I dont have to paint it.
Looks awesome man.

It's tough to find good cavalier/sunfire panels since there always banged up. I think there were 7 cavs at the yard and this was the only one not beat to @&$!.

Looks soo much better. Only way to make it better would be using the Z24 spoiler.

This is in my plans. 03 lss, will have 01 Z spolier and 00 toyos. Should look much better than the 03+ light bar crap.

I wouldn't say that.. Plenty before me, being that it was.. 7-8 years ago when these cars were killed, 11 since they were new lol. I claim no credit.. undoubtedly more hiding somewhere in the forums.
