Default Trunk swaps..done often?

After searching nearly everyday for 5 months, I think I finally found the one s2k I want. Only problem is, it has the XM radio option and the antenna/reciever is on the trunk...meaning a hole was drilled.

My question, are trunk swaps common? I'd hate to remove the antenna it and "fill" the hole.

I agree. 5-10 minutes, tops.

I can do the swap..I was just trying to get a feel of how often swap were done on this forum. Sorry, I should've been more clear. I know on subaru forums, swaps are done often for ones w/ and w/o spoilers. I just don't know how often they are done here...and honestly if anyone would even be looking for a trunk w/an XM antenna, as I'd highly doubt it.

Probably just need to find one of the part out S2000's in the FS section rather than post up in S2000 Talk

Ah, in that case, you'd be better off checking the FS forums to buy another one or filling the hole.

I go on forums all the time...I know, I made the typical amaeture mistake...didn't search!

I guess that'd be the best way to go instead of swapping.

Hopefully I'll get the car tonight!!!!

I'm pretty sure it is. I opened the trunk and saw a bolt right under where the antenna is. Is yours the one that was sold by Honda? Looks like a thin silver square box?
