BRZ Satin White Trunk Swap
 
Figure I would try this first. Just bought a white Brz and I want a spoiler. Anyone want to trade for a non spoiler trunk? My car has less than 500 miles so if there is anyone thinking about swapping yours has to be near perfect. Let me know. I already have the oem painted spoiler in my garage ready to go. I just can't get myself to drill the holes yet. Thanks.

I have a trunk with the oem FR-S spoiler on it if that's the direction you're looking to go.

Tempting... I was originally looking to swap out my Limited Trunk for a Premium Trunk. ( I'm SWP also )

I ordered the 8.5 mm drill bit and the 25mm hole saw from Mcmaster Carr last night as per the installation instructions. Now I have to man up and do it. The easy thing to do is swap, but my car is a 2014 that is pretty much perfect, so finding a suitable that is not going to be easy in my eyes. Sorry I wish I wasnt so picky. I had the entire font clip covered in XPEL by one of the best installers in southern California pretty much immediately after I bought it. I know there is someone out there who is going to go to the dealership this week and buy a SWP BRZ and scoff at the site of that spoiler screwing up the pretty lines of his new ride. Im waiting to hear from you.

I have an SWP BRZ Limited that I am considering going wingless :)

its not a 2014 but i've only had it for 2 months...2k on the ODO.

Don't do it! It's not worth drilling though your pristine trunk! I have a BRZ limited with spoiler in SWP. I would trade with you, but I have Cilajet coating on mine, Backup camera and I would want $$$ for the spoiler. Also would need to swap VIN number sticker perfectly. If you have a solutions to all my issue. Feel free to message me.

Its done
 
Sorry my inability to sit still for more than two seconds made me do it. Came out perfect, and although it would have been much easier to find someone to switch with, my occasional OCD would have me looking for imperfections in the swapped trunk. Thanks for all the interest everyone.
On a side note I now have all the templates as well as the 8.5 mm drill bit, and the 25mm hole saw for anyone who might need this stuff to install their own. I know there have been a few posts about people needing these things, especially the templates.
