trunk swapping

Ok - I figured I'd ask before I crack open the Helms tonight. How difficult is it to swap trunks? Ltrain and I are going to try next week (he has a spoiler) but did not know how to go about it.

I'm assuming someone here has done it before and could provide some insight. Are we just talking a few bolts and the wiring for the spoiler brake light? Or is this a 5 hour project that is going to be more intensive.

Thanks for any input.
Dan

Looks like a few bolts and some wiring like you mentioned.

You have a carbon fiber trunk lid?

Just remembered - am I going to have an issue with the weight of the spoiler? Do we need to swap springs too? And when people say springs - do they mean the torsion bars?
