Default swaping out trunk lid

I just bought a new OEM trunk lid that I am going to put APR wing on and swap out the trunk for track use. It only comes with trunk lid so I was wondering what other parts are needed to make a direct swap. I rather not to swap any parts back and forward from my street trunk so therefore, I was wondering what other necessary parts do I need to get in order to make a direct swap. I don't need everything, I only need the necessary parts since the only time I will drive on the street with that trunk are to and from the track event.

I definitely need Lock, Trunk lid (74851-S2A-003), but are there any other parts I should get?

Here is the link to the trunk lid diagram:

In case you one day forget to hook up the remote release wiring harness, a key would be a smart thing to have.

Thanks so I don't really need anything else apart from the Lock, Trunk lid (pn: 74851-S2A-003) right? I will keep that in mind about the remote release wiring harness.

That's pretty much it. The trunk lid is direct bolt on. You only need the latch assembly to secure it and you only need a key for "just in case". I'm assuming you got the trunk lid with the rubber bumpers so you can do any slight adjustments in closed height to make it flush.
Keep in mind that the latch assembly needs to have the solenoid on it or you won't be able to even use the trunk release in the glove box. Your biggest concern is to be able to open it once you've slammed it shut.

Yes, you'll need the rubber bumpers (2 each of #7 and #10). It would appear that the lock assembly comes with the solenoid. The weatherstrip should remain on your car (go out and have a look).
