Well, I was getting ready to deploy to Iraq again, and my wife was going to use my car while I was gone. At the time I had swapped my WRX wing for an STI trunk. So I wanted to swap back to something a little less conspicuous, for my wife's sake. So I arranged to meet up with a guy from here and swap for his wingless trunk.
We couldn't have picked a worse day. It was cold and windy as hell. We met up in a parking lot and started unbolting and refitting as fast as we could...just to try and stay warm. We got the lids on and everything went fine, we said our good-byes, and we went our separate ways.
The next day, I went outside to put something in the trunk, and I realized that I'd been screwed over. Apparently, this lid had once had a WRX wing on it and the owner had tried to fill the holes and paint over it. The bondo looks like they put it on with a butter knife, and there are a couple of big chunks of dirt in the clear, and the color is off a little bit.
I tried to get him to go good and give me back my trunk, but he refused. I just haven't had the cash on hand to have it refinished, and it's low on my priority list.
