    92 325iC trunk lid will fit a 87 325is?

    Will a 92 iC trunk lid fit a 87 325is? I think it should but want to be sure.

    Yes or no?

    Thanks!!

    Ya, but you'll have the 3rd (now 4th) brake light in the middle of the trunk.

          Well... amigos

          I would be deleting the present 3rd brake light in the rear shelve (inside) and roll with the trunk mounted one. Thinking it would look kinda different and cool. I need to re-dye my rear speaker shelf anyway..cause its faded out blue. Not black.

          Whaddya think?

              it is not going to look cool, but it will fit and do it if you want.

                I think just have no 3rd brake light at all.

                    The hinges are different on the cabrios - may have to swap them out to make it fit.

                      It should fit if you are using your car's hinges and only swapping the lids.

                      I put a non-cabby trunk lid on a cabby - no issues.

                        when people with cabrios are swapping trunk lids to get rid of the 3rd brake light, you are doing it the other way....

                        interesting.

                          ...and I think your a turd.

                          I can get the trunk lid for next to nothing and mine is in really bad shape, faded paint, etc.

                          Ill probably just keep looking though... and delete my current 3rd brake light.

                            A polisher and some compound will do wonders for faded paint.... when I first read the thread title I got excited because I assumed you made a mistake and wanted to swap a non cabrio trunklid onto a cabrio, which I have been curious about doing. I really dont see why you want the third brake light, but my question was answered in your thread, so thanks :)
