i say $400. u can prob save money if u just take ur trunk of and drop it off. they can usually do stuff on the side this way becuase hiding a whole car is hard.

How much would it be if they not only had to fill in the center A, but also had to fill in the holes left by a previously installed spoiler? I'm getting my car repainted soon and I want to remove the spoiler and center A. So I'm wondering how much extra this would cost because if it's more than $400 i'm just gonna get a new one and have it painted with the rest of the car.

Oh I see. Either way they're already gonna be repainting the whole car. So that wont be an issue. But if it's gonna be like 350-400 I might as well get a new trunk.

Ummm.... If and only if I end up getting it shaved off then it's yours. It's black and would probably need to be repainted. Also you would probably have to get a new spoiler gasket kit. Dont know how much that is but I'm sure it's not that much. I'll let you know when it will be available. Most likely it's not gonna be for about another month or so. But as long as you pay shipping, and give me a little $$$ for packaging then it's yours.

Okay then. Most likely it will be painted by the end of the month or early March. I dont really know where i'm gonna take it yet. I'm still going around getting estimates.

I got lucky - kinda - when some crazy bitch slammed into my poor CL's backside - i got a new trunk with my new rear half of a CL and i told them to leave off the emblems and fill the factory emblem holes - they did and i love it! Looks sooo smooth and people are always looking at my car wondering what the hell it is!
