Swapping Trunks
So i am gonna swap my trunk with another member on Sunday, and I want to be fully prepared. My question is what tools will I need to swap the trunks, locks, and whatever stuff that needs to be switched around?
Thanks Alot, Josh

I found this... seems like 13 mm bolts for the lid, 10 if your swapping taillights (if i remember correct), and one "clip" thing for the lock.
btw, you going wingless or highrise?
I just swapped trunks last night within an hour. It was really easy.
For the lock, there is a metal clip. Look up under the lid at the lock area and you will see it. If you are looking at the trunk from behind, the clip will slide to your right. Just grab the big "handle" and pull right, and it'll slide right off. Then the lock will pull out from the exterior of the trunk lid. Pay attention to how the lock is installed. It has a long "prong" on the left side, make sure you insert your the same way. Then, install yours and slide the metal clip back in. It takes a couple tries to get it to lock in real well, just make sure there is no play in the lock and you are good to go.

i got the ss/sc body kit. Its the only good looking kit out there for the cobalt IMO. I got it new through the gm dealer so even though i got it at cost, it was darn expensive.
