Trunk Swap Risks? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The biggest issue honestly is the corrosion, all sorts of stuff gets under there and water takes forever to dry out in the little crack. I've heard the the trunk is aluminum so it won't really rust but it still bothers me that the paint is being molested in there. And I cant put opti guard in there either so its just a pickle guess. Best option seems to be taking it off, optiguard everything and the TRD spoiler and slap it on there I guess.

Weird situation indeed...

How is that ricing out? Making your car lighter is ricing? Well I guess I'm gonna have to go and tell all the supercars made fully out of carbon fiber to stop ricing them. People use this term for everything now days. So stupid....

On that note here is my favorite video about that subject.

Interesting...TRD spoiler is similar to the 5 axis in looks correct? I will look into this.

My dealer had said the 5 axis would cover the holes. Time to do research!

Did you find out if the 5 Axis does cover the holes? Monogram?

No spoiler looks better IMO. I had a low lip spoiler on my tC and it did look good. Yet no spoiler is more 'sleeperish'.

Color matched CF trunk.

The downside is the cost and Fitment, there is a big chance that the panels gap might not be 100% like OEM.

I swapped my BRZ Limited trunk with a FRS trunk after owning my car for like a week. It took about 20 minutes. Few months later - no regrets. I don't notice any difference, you would think it came how it is.

Aluminum is pretty light as it is.

No problems here with the swap. We kept our VIN stickers which came off easily with a razor blade.

I would just stick with the factory trunk lid and allocate the money towards other mods.

@Xerious ... same pain as you brother!

No unfortunately it does not. TRD lip does, though it's pricey to import
