You can't see any of this unless you kneel down and look up at the rear deck.
Mine looks the same underneath, I don't really care since I have to put my whole head in the trunk to see it...why would I ever do that?

Although it reminds me of my mom's 60s Buick Skylark, it's not the trunk mechanism's aesthetics I have a problem with. It's the damn lid cracking me on the head because it's too flimsy to stand up to a light breeze that I don't care for.

Can't see it, so I don't care what it reminds me of. I'm sure if I looked up under the dashboard I'm sure it would look unfinished. But, why would I do that?

Mine looks like that and doesn't crack me in the dead. It stands up no problem in wind, breeze, etc.

Well, you asked for the pictures.

Just out of curiosity, what is your VIN? Mine is JTHBE1BL6D5025483. Perhaps there was a change mid-year.

I don't think so. I took delivery of my '13 GS F Sport in April 2012. I was a very early model. I had no trunk issues.

The TSB did seem to change the torsion springs as well as the rubber cushions in the trunk lid. Although your vin doesn’t seem to fall into the tsb range, I wonder if you could simply compare the rubber cushions on your car to a current model to see if yours was built with the older components?

Seems like it may be overkill to get a new car just because the trunk springs are a bit light…
