6-speed, are the Lancer trunks also very lightweight mild steel?
Warrtalon:

* That's the exact reason I kept the stock trunk lid and wing .

I may actually do some road course racing this year at this brand new place..........

* I haven't had a chance to weigh the trunk lids back to back.

I can get a picture of each trunk lid later today on a scale.

My (very unscientific) assumption is that there is no difference in the weight based on the trunk lid's rebound when I release the trunk lock.

I had my factory Evo trunk lid (minus wing) on the car for a time, and the rebound is the same as the repainted Lancer trunk lid.
