SOCAL: Anyone looking to trade trunks?

[mattyfo0z]

I have a Dark Slate A/C and I really want to go wingless. I figure it's worth a shot to see if anybody is actually looking to add a spoiler to their car, in that case we could trade. I'm hoping for a trunk that's also Dark Slate, but I'm still interested if it's a different color.

Also, does anybody have any idea how much a typical bodyshop would charge to remove the spoiler, fill the holes, and repaint? It might just be easier to go that route.. I don't know.

Oh, and this is the wing I have...



Thanks!

Shop normally charge $150-$300 to fill up mounting holes and repaint them. You can buy 3M DIY kit from auto store or walmart and save you some money but result might not be good. But let me know if you can find a local shop that can do cheaper. I want to go wingless too lol

Get a quote, he is usually really cheap and excellent work!

Well that is quite a distance from where I live, maybe about 90 minutes or so probably. I live down in the Palm Springs area.

Do you think he would be able to give a quote over the phone? I went to two shops locally, one tried telling me it would be around $600-$700 (they gotta be stupid to think I'd pay that much), and one told me around $380 which is a lot more reasonable, but I'm not sure what the average would be. I didn't think it'd go past like, $250 or so.

Here is how you can cover the holes for cheap. It at least gives you an idea.

That's what I have right now actually, hahah. I used a similar DIY off of ClubRSX (via Google). I bought some plugs from Autozone, similar to those in your link, and got some touch up paint from Nissan. Looks good from afar, but still bothers me a bit up close. I figure it's better than the big ugly holes showing, though.
