you'd be surprised, it might not be as much as you think. It's pretty big but maybe not really heavy.

If you really want to know go measure your trunk and find out how much it weighs online,etc..you could definitely get a decent estimate on a shipping calculator.

A trunk will cost a lot to ship simply because of the size, idk if they'll even count the weight once you get to a certain dimension. I just looked at going wingless this week and its going to be harder than i thought

that's the one advantage of getting a base, no factory spoiler

You can fill the holes with fiberglass, but it might be hard to match the paint with metallic.

it would be better to weld them shut, grind them down and then plastic filler the holes and then respray the whole trunk

ship it thru fed ex ... wouldnt be that expensive at all .. i shipped a dash from colorado to maine for 45 bucks ... and it was outta 70 trans am .. so it was huge ... fed ex for the win when it comes to large items ... just package it as small as possible .. i have also shipped a door from a 240 thru them in a huge *** box for like 75 bucks ... so try it out .. i might be going back to factory wing ..

I seriously doubt your car has the original paint. Note the section in yellow. That tab should be black/ dark gray and not red, which definitely indicates the vehicle has been repainted. Nonetheless, it's one heck of a clean kouki!

That side you pointed out was hit, and the quarter panel and rear bumper had to be repaired/repainted. The rest of the car is original paint. Here is a picture of when I bought it (before the accident).

Hey everyone,

I noticed that few members here selling their brand new Nismo LMGT4 for near half price. They go for $500+ per wheel, wondering why they are selling at such a low price?

thanks!
