Well 1st off, I think you'll lose the use of the key hole when you install the finisher & as far as the spoiler, you'll need some sort of adhesive which Im pretty sure someone will shed some light on in a couple seconds

Changing trunks is a pretty radical thing to do when the 2 pieces will only cost about 350 usd + painting but hey ......why not !

Locks wont match up, you will need to change the lock barrels etc.

The boot lid itself is a straight swap from what I have seen.

He was referring to a trunk finisher, not the entire trunk.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the entire trunk lid.

Id say just get the pieces separately, or just have them removed from that trunk lid and transferred to his trunk lid if that is possible.

The bootlids are interchangeable but you will have to swap the lock over. The finisher and spoiler are only held on with a strong double sided tape. You can buy the pre cut kits so your friend does have the option of swapping just the bits over. If the cost of the bootlid is les than buying the items individually then definitely change the lid/bits over.
