I am officially wingless!! If you had read my troubles posted above, you know the crap and some of the people I dealt with. I wasnt happy. So one day when cruising Nasioc looking a swap, I came across a WRX owner in MA. He had an 06 WRB WRX. Well they how did I get a CGM trunk you ask?! Turns out this kid has some experience in painting. I gave him my color code and he painted his wingless for free. Cant beat that!

So I took the drive down to MA 2 weekends ago on the 9th and did the swap. The trunk isnt perfect, but it is good enough for now. The color matches, but the metal flake is a little bit bigger that the OEM paint. I am going to let it go for this winter as it is going to get beat up in the snow. I will plan on getting a repaint next spring/summer. For now I am happy as the ugly holes and plugs are gone.

Also, the trunk is originally from an 03 WRB Bugeye. This would be it's 2nd swap.
So, as promised... The pictures! Take at Letchworth St park as we were camping this weekend.

And a new sig

Some lousy phone pictures when I installed the 3rd brake light a couple of months ago.

and a slight chop of the old trunk with the wing removed, just to see what it would look like badgeless
