Hey BlkCurrantKord...a bit off tangent, but did you ever do a DIY write-up for your trunk? Just wondering.
Oh, nice write-up on the 5-lug conversion, btw.

Write up for what? I bought the trunklid during a group buy for shaved trunks years ago.

Oh ok...nevermind then...I thought you did the trunk by yourself. Didn't realize they sell shaved trunks.

they dont haha. i believe there was a limited run of carbon fiber ones, which he has, from a company that i cant remember right now. the way to do it is take yours, or buy another oem trunk lid, and weld a piece of metal over the opening.

I thought about doing that, but it's just too much of a hassle. Besides my welding and painting skills are quite limited.

well, thats the way to do it, hassle or not. and thats also why there are professions in the fields of welding, body work, and paint.

i dont remembering some of the finer details but after looking back i see that the conversion will be even cheaper for me, causemy biggest questions was if all i had to do was replace the hubs... now what gets me is why other models besides the EX will have to replace the knuckle and spindle??? is that just to simplify the change over or is there a method in that madness?
but EX model just needs
-Hubs
-Front Calipers (off V6 model, Legend, or Teg, Type-R)
-Rotors and Pads?
correct me if im wrong?
btw hubs at my local junk yard are $14 a pop
BTW nice write up!!!

just completed this yesterday, my total cost was about $300 for the spindles, rotors, pads, calipers, and ebrake lines.
