Thanks guys. Decided to hang on to the car and drive it much more this summer. Since I rolled it to 100K miles 2 years ago, I have only put 4k miles on it since then, so it's sitting at 104K now.

Hoping to have a second set of hands this weekend to help get the trunk on there, and I'll update with some more pictures.

By the looks of that trunk lid in the first pic, it was off a 2000 pace car??
Not sure of the exact year, but yes, it came off a totaled red pace car.

Since it was red, that would be a 2000. That limited edition badge (if you still have it) could make some nice garage art

Ah, so it was a 2000 then. I scored my bowtie headrests from the came car I ended up selling the pace car trunk badge on ebay actually haha. I contemplated keeping it and sticking it on my toolbox, but I figured if I could get a couple bucks from it, why not.

I need to see if I can sell my old trunk with the surf board on it now, but I don't think there are many people looking for them unfortunately.

A measly 15 bucks. They are apparently hard to find/worth some money...I put it up for sale here, a bunch of people messaged me asking to hold it, they will have money in a week, next paycheck ect, but not a single person made me an offer, so up on ebay it went. Took the first offer someone sent me heh. I only paid $75 for the entire pace car trunk and the bowtie headrests, so I didn't mind letting the badge go cheap to help someone out.

Craigslist. Took me about 4 years of searching to find one though heh. They are hard to come by.
