Default Swaping Trunks...adivce needed

I am going to be swaping trunks with another s2000 and wondered if who has done this could let me know if I need any special tools, etc. Are there little thinkgs to watch for? It seems easy, a couple of bolts and then swap them.
thanks.

more than just bolts, you forgot about the wires.

yeah, but they have connectors. I was wondering about the the springs. I didn't think I would have to mess around with them.

The springs are attached to the arms, so no you don't have to fool with them.

When Installing my OEM rear spoiler last spring, I dropped a bolt into the truck lid and had to take it off to get it back.

It's easy.

Disconnect the brake light cable and the power trunk cable. Undue the 4 bolts and that is it. It's a 15 min job. My advice would be to mark off where the bolts sit so that you can get it aligned back easier.

Oh yeah make sure you plug the trunk release cable back in before closing the trunk. Otherwise you will have a major PITA on your hands.
