Default Trunk Swap

Has anyone had any luck with swapping the 07-12 trunk with a 13+ trunk.
If so, what was needed? Is it a direct fit bolt on or were alterations necessary?

What would be the purpose of this? Do you mean the trunk lid? You would need new tail lights and a new bumper.

To match the converted front cap.
I've seen a few threads on here about swapping the 07-12 front to the 13+ but couldn't find anything on the rear. In my opinion the 13+ truck has a better flow as far as looks and makes the car look a lot less boxed from the back. I understand that along with the trunk the tail lights would obviously need to be swapped as well but wasn't sure if anything else would need to be.

You would need the bumper too.

Yes, the rear bumper has crease lines that follow the trunk lid and trunk lights. Expensive proposition (trunk lid, rear lights, rear bumper).

Damn, with a front and rear conversion you're really looking at throwing your money away. Just spend the money on 2013 model and be done with it.
