Vahkil Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 ...been brave enough to remove it and have the trunk filled and painted. I'm curious as to the size of the holes. I'm really wishing they had a clean decked sedan when I bought mine.... Ho Hum. Any Subaru parts people here with a price on a painted replacement trunk lid?

Thrasher Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I had it done, for $500. The holes apparently are filled in just fine (there're no indentations under the paint or clear coat). However, the quality of the sanding sucks under the paint, and I can see striations in certain light conditions. The clearcoat itself is smooth. There is a blob of paint on the forward edge of the paint. So the welds filling the bolt holes appear to be fine, but they did a crappy job of finishing and painting. They have offered to resand and respray. I'll let you know how it turns out. This was done by Starcar of East Northport, NY. I cannot recommend them. BTW, they also resprayed my rear bumper, nicely, and removed pinstripes that the dealer put on my car before I bought it, for the $500 total. While at the shop, someone there dented the bottom edge of my driver's door (a tiny scratch, but wtf. They did not mention it when I picked up the car, and it wasn't noticed until I got home and really looked at my car). I'm a little tired of getting my car worked on and it getting scratched or mechanics getting grease on the taupe interior. I don't think there's anything wrong or very hard about doing the spoiler removal/hole filling. You really need to know the quality of work from the particuliar body shop. Prices seem to range from between $300-$700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahkil Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks for the info Thrasher. I'm thinking I don't want to spend that kind of money for just a repair job. I'll live with the spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWP-LegacyGT Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm really suprised at the spoiler hate. Quite frankly when I heard people calling the LGT a camery from the rear end (if you have spoiler) makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
