If I were to get another trunk, wouldn't that one have holes as well?

I think the cheaper/better route would be just to fill the holes and have them color matched, but that's just my guess

Anyone know how much that would cost to have done?

And yea, I'd like to see those pics

Not if the lid was from a Lancer ES or from an IX EVO RS.

And speaking of...


Here are some close ups of how you might fill in the holes left in the trunk lid. I used some black plastic body panel fasteners. I had to cut them shorter and they are held in by a little bit of clear silicone under the "head".









I think the Apex Silver EVOs have a very unique "industrial" look that I really like. The black "rivets" kind of fit with the "industrial" look, IMNSHO.

It's his car dude so let him do what he wants.

No need to get on other people if it's what they like.

Afterall, HE pays for his car, not you

definitely wingless

but I've seen it on other cars and it looks rediculous. Just depends on the set up, I guess.
