Does anybody know exactly what needs to be done to the coupe trunklid for it to be installed onto a vert? I have the coupe trunk already, but is drilling involved at all for the hinge mounting points? And do i need to re-mount the black covers on the top/back of the fox trunk?

yes to everything. you will need to drill into the coupe's trunk. there's a gasket like plastic piece between the hinge cover and trunk that you can use as a template.

no, the hinges/trunk spring will just bolt on. it's slightly different, but will bolt on fine.

it was a little confusing to transfer the locks and wiring over to the coupe lid, but i managed. thanks for the template tip.
