Good Job

Sweet write up! That is a VERY good and useful DIY.

I had no idea this could be done. You would have saved me about $100 buying 2 trunk lids doing 2 trunk swaps on my old car had I known about this.

true, it would save money.

I always thought it could be done. Except I thought you might be able to just bolt it in no problem.

My only recommendation is if you do this, figure out a way to relocate the keyhole.

Now, I'm more curious on if this method would work on wagon tail ights. Since I don't believe they make red/clears for the wagons, someone could perhaps do something like this and drop in the 92-93 sedan red/clears.

well seeing how the wagon tails are slanted u still cant use the sedan red clears

^ slanted where the hatch closes

I have a 90 coupe, but I'm putting a 93 SE coupe trunk on it. The 90 trunk is rusted and all shitty, and the 93 is mint. Just needs paint.

I'd do the DIY mod if the 90 trunk wasnt all fubared.

I for one think this is a great DIY, especially if people want or cant seen to find the same trunk color. Like me, I want a 92-93 COUPE trunk, but can never find them in the jy! I would do this DIY, but the trunk key hole would have to be functional. Fix that problem and this is a perfect DIY!! On the other hand, not having a trunk key hole might make a thief skip your car if they wanted to get in there.

Some people are not gonna love this, but some will. Just remember you cant please everyone.

I like it... might try it this summer. I always thought of using the center panel to convert to the 92-93 trunk but never did.

Easy trunk swap without getting a whole new trunk!!

all you gotta do is move the trunk key, is not that hard to do, the reason i didn't do it is cause it didn't bother me, i actually wanted to remove the trunk key all together

you can do anything if you really want to.

does look good but the space between the plate and lights are bigger, not sure he can do costum work by himself

Very creative indeed. Thumbs up for that. I didn't think it would be remotely possible.

I think the "flaws" the others talk about is the keyhole. You kind of got away with it on yours by covering and painting it on your tails but it's still totally visible. What do you suggest others do on their stock or red/clear tails?

If someone can relocate the key cylinder to make it look stock, it would be a great mod. Maybe grabbing the slightly longer 92/93 rod and drilling a new hole can do that........not sure how you'd cover the old hole though.

That looks soooooo right on the wagon. Mmmmm *drools a little*

[PR CB7]

^^^ drooled too



anyways, i still cant get ove the fact that you had a flushie and did this mod
the real way could have cost you $70
your way saved you $50 but...............

This looks nice, but this wasn't a simple taillights swap, I can tell that a lot work was involved on the hatch and the bumper, look at the pictures closely and compare the bottom of the hatch the plate recess is from the coupe along with the tail lights. the mouldings on the bumper were also shaved

Mad props to whoever did that, but yeah this shows that anything is possible.

If you look at it long enough, it looks like an Odyssey with a chop top lol.
