how to swap trunks/wings 2.0 SS/SC

I can't find a link that explains with or without pictures how to swap trunks or swap wings..can anyone help?

Note: I did search..and will delete this one I find the link(s). I just got a trunk with the high rise spoiler to replace my original one with the lowrise.

don't mean to be a dick but if you don't know how to do something as simple as swapping a trunk you shouldn't work on your car but a wing it more of a pain in the ass because of the double sided tape

none taken, I don't really give a **** what someone says over the internet. I have worked on cars..most recently my rx8 which is 48505 more complicated than something you've probably done; it has no pistons . Of course, not being a "dick" to you either man. I ALWAYS do better with pics though haha. so back to my original question, can someone find a link? Thanks!

Word.

I can take apart an engine but have a hell of a time with interior trim.

Found this thread. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/appe...nk-lid-128613/

Came up with a great point, change the locks! It says just unbolt the struts then unbolt the trunk from the hinges (not the hinges from the body).
