it's four bolts, the locking mechanism, and the key lock assembly

just be carefuly of the trunk springs as they need to be cut or removed so that the carbon trunk dosent get warped from the pressure they put on it

yes he means tension bars

if you plan on running a carbon trunk you will need to eliminate one bar otherwise it will put hella stress on the trunk

I went from an evo ix trunk with a wing to an evo ix rs trunk and I have some tension on the trunk but one bar won't open it because it weighs too much...just an fyi

YOU DEFINITELY NEED A SECOND SET OF HANDS!!!!!!

def need more than one person for the install at least, you can take off the old trunk by yourself, i removed mine by myself, the tension bars can be a pain in the *** but ive done this more than once so it was pretty easy. putting on the new trunk takes some time because of alignment and all that fun ****, you might need washers or metal shims for the metal piece that is bolted down in the trunk my latch didnt quite lock so thats what i had to do(ACE hardware has everything you need )
