Hi Folks,
I've got a '13 FRS and i'm interested in swapping out my trunk lid for one from a friend who's got a '13 BRZ w. spoiler. Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions for a body shop who could do it for relatively cheap?

I realize the trunk lids have VIN numbers, but i'll deal with that. The only reason i'm kinda scared to undertake this myself is i'm worried about alignment of the trunk lid with the body as well as swapping out the locking mechanism (so we can retain our key/trunk latch. Anyhow, if anyone's got any suggestions or know-how and is willing to do it and make some cash holla back! Thanks!

The manufacturer will leave some wiggle room for adjustment. So just cinch it up, bring it down slowly, see how it needs to be tweaked, loosen, push or pull or lift or press, and retighten. Repeat till it lines up.

They are both owned by Fuji Heavy Manufacturing or something like that. The FR-S, BR-Z, or FT-86 (depending on what continent your on) us a Toyota fuel system and a subie derived motor.
