    If you had the right tools about 3 out of 10 if you don't have the right tools 9 out of 10.

    i think you have to swap full trunk lids but not positive, also need the difernt wireing harness

    did the alt. rebuild.. wasnt hard.. just needed a soldering gun.. other then that i dont think the new brushes wore into the grooves of the shaft yet.. still acts a bit funny when taken off the battery but its getting better


    edit: i posted in the wrong thread... sorry fellas... but i fixed my alternator... wasnt putting out good amps... brushes were gone


    but for the original... seems good 3-10 but i have a problem.. i cant afford the plexi haha

    agreed... all the hatches ive seen are either lx or they have cancer.. ive only seen one clean 4d lxi/lx (to far to see badges) and it was a nice maroon color with a drop and rims.. wish there was more 3geez owners here in this crappy town... any 3geez owners around the LA/ Alhambra/ el monte area?
