  1. Install Torsion bars
    Just reverse the removal procedure. Place the static part of the bar in its older, and position the trunk arm side as close as possible. Lift the trunk arm up and using that wrench pry the ends of the U into their holders. Then pry down on the U and extend that moveable piece on the trunk arm so it fits onto the bar. Once you have done this, you are done and good to start on the other bar.
  2. Install trunk
    Same 4 bolts and remember to check that the trunk fits right before you try to close it.
  3. Install Latch
  4. Install Lock
  5. Remove brake light
    Remove Seats
    Unplug the light which is in the trunk right under the light, loosen the 2 screws that retain the light.
    Take your hand, slide it under the lid and pop off the rear lid that the light sits on (there is a big whole for the light). There are no screws, just 4 (i think its just 4) tabs that hold it in place. You can get to them from inside of the trunk as well.



  6. Install brake light
    Swap the lids (they pop right back in), plug the light back in and secure the 2 screws. ALL our cars have 3rd light locations for the STi, and the other third brake light, so you dont need to do any electrical work.

now all you have to do is look at how hot your new trunk is
