Hello everyone, i tried doing as much research as i could on this topic before posting this and probably gonna get some backlash but i wanna have at least a piece of mind..
So i bought a 2011 sti trunk and wing off this auto salvage on ebay, truck was in good condition, a couple scratches nothing to major, got it on my ride and adjusted it as much as possible and still have a little issue with how it sits when i close it, i feel like its not closed properly or completely for that matter, like its not flushed with the rest of the body, as if its raised up a tiny bit (enough to make the ocd kick in).. i still havent changed the torsion bars, still waiting for them to come in. And i changed the trunk latch from my orginal 14 wrx to the 11 sti trunk, which i also was wondering if there is a difference between the two, if one is bigger than the other or what?, i didnt really look at both of them side by side which i shouldve but i didnt pay any mind at the time, I tried to mess around with the latch but its not really adjustable since its just straight up two bolts...the reason behind this write up is to see if anyone else had any issues or see any differences when trading trunks from different years or trading trunks in general and if you had issues how did you fix them . The pics below are a better showing of what im talking about, the first one is how it is currently the second is how it is when i push it down a bit.. Any ideas or tips would be great, as this is my first trunk swap that ive done, thanks .
