swap trunks

Mindtrip · 12-19-2005, 05:53 PM

Hey ppl! was wandering if anyone with a BLue rx8 with a trunk with no spoiler would be willing to trade trunks with me? Mine has the factory optional spoiler on it. If anyone is willing to do this i would really appreciate and let me know so we can set-up a time to do it, Thanks again!

Oh wow... this is actually a great idea.
If anyone in dallas wants a free spoiler and drives a winning blue... im also willing to trade trunks.

Oh, sorry for imposing on your thread mindtrip. I think we live far enough away that we wont steal eachothers potential trunks.

I'm your man! I want my spoiler!

Oh but.. remember that I had wrecked my car a while back and although the trunk lid is brand new, it was painted at a shop. Wonder what you think now.

Sup blue... thanks for the offer, but i think im going to pass. I'm going to try and hold off for one that is factory painted. SORRY

Anyone

Mindtrip · 12-27-2005, 04:26 PM

????

liqiud · 12-27-2005, 04:37 PM

I don't have one...but i'm curious why you're looking for it.

jenkins-crew · 12-27-2005, 05:41 PM

He probably wants a different spoiler, and maybe a trunk lid with no holes.

BigOLundh · 12-27-2005, 06:33 PM

Liquid,
Yeah, Jenkins is correct. I need a trunk lid with no holes so i can upgrade spoilers. My current trunk and spoiler are in great condition. I have been meaning to send you a PM about this, but have been swamped. If your interested... let me know.

Why do u keep jacking my thread?

buzzardsluck · 12-27-2005, 11:43 PM

Its a Dallas thing they do it to everyone

. At least they are keeping your thread up at the top.

Have you tried talking with a dealer that has used 8s about trading trunks lids for a small fee? If I remember right you take care of your car so you would have a mint lid to offer them. Just a thought

liqiud · 12-27-2005, 11:46 PM

hehe...it is a dallas thing...and we're damn good at it.

Mindtrip · 12-27-2005, 11:51 PM

Around how much do they charge?

Mine has been shop painted to match ... IMO it's not exactly the same color
(it never is) but the offer is there if u want. I'll be willing to drive there.

Ooh, road trip!!!

BigOLundh · 01-12-2006, 09:14 PM

Thanks for the support people. I found someone to swap trunks with, and who is also going to buy my complete appearance package. YAY! He's getting a good deal on the appearance package, and im getting a trunk. Works out for everyone..

Also.. bump for Mindtrip. I think he's still looking.

-hS

BLUE_SIX · 01-12-2006, 10:55 PM

Shoot I didn't know you were selling your appearance package!

I've been looking for one... anybody know where I can get a used one? I'm too cheap to pay full price.

BigOLundh · 01-13-2006, 07:44 AM

Yeah, i have been planning to sell it since im getting a different kit. I probably could have sold it for a lot more, but since the person coming for the trunk swap is driving a long distance... i decided to part with it for pretty cheap.

-Sorry

aireq · 02-12-2007, 02:12 AM

I'm looking to buy an 8. However, I prefer the look of them with out a spoiler, but with the appearance package. A lot of the cars I end up finding not surprisingly have the spoiler installed with the appearance package.

I figure if I get a car with a spoiler I could just swap the rear trunk hatch with someone who has an 8 that wants a spoiler (with the same color of course).

How hard would this be to do? Would it just be a matter of unbolting one and bolting on the other? Or would it be a bit more involved?

army_rx8 · 02-12-2007, 02:13 AM

easy to do with simple hand tools...and someone to help you lift the trunks.

hard part is finding someone to swap out trunks (of the same color)

aireq · 02-12-2007, 02:42 AM

Well since I'd pretty much do it for free I imagine it wouldn't be to hard to find someone that would want to swap for a $200 option.

bsteimel · 02-12-2007, 07:10 AM

I'll take a trunk with a spoiler if its VR

Bloodroz · 08-26-2007, 09:02 AM

Looking for someone willing to trade trunks. I have the titanium grey w/ factory spoiler, looking for titanium grey without the spoiler. And I'm willing to commute up to 7 or 8 hours to make the swap. Hit me up if interested. And my trunk is in like new condition, no scratches/dings/fading etc..
