if i were to guess, i do think the 04+ trunk lid has a more "square" edge than the 01-03

hers another update... you see that edge in the tnk lid because the quarter is not finished yet..... adn the trunk wasnt fully closed.. ehrse some more pics for you guys... but evne in this, the trunk still isnt FULLY closed, but i assure you, it lines up like you will never notice

So are you going to do the 04+ front end conversion? That would be a sweet write up.

How'd you get it so cheap. Do wrecked and dealer auction cars go for much less in Canada than in the states?

Looks great. Looks like you have a custom luxury package. You have the laser cruise and parking sensors. Guess Navi wasnt available in Canada?

correct. that color wood was available in the custom and ultra packages only, just not the base or modern luxury.
