Din,
I don't know, but it weights WAY TOO MUCH ever since my trunk strut died. Had the trunk fall on my head once

Any idea on the cost of such an item?

Of course I also have the Kaminari spoiler, so I would most likely need the next size up in actuators. Are they fairly basic in installation? Saw the power open & close feature of the trunk on a BMW 7 series at a car show last weekend......way cool. Handy too if your hands are full.

http://www.autoloc.com/search.lasso?partno=la

don't know if there are any less expensive places for them.

asnatlas,
Luckily I caught it with my hand before it hit my head.... but it's definately time to do something about my trunk before it does give me or someone else a bump in the head.

rthammer's motor is weak and it gets messed up often. Maybe because of the custom metal MF plate and the dynamat...
