When i bought m car it had aready been broken into once before, and it still doesnt have a lock on the boot, and seeing as how ive just put my sub and amp in there i tihnk its about time i get it fixed.Ideas:
1. Im thinking of just getting it shaved, but the leaver in the front wont open it so ill have to get that fixed aswell...
2. Or goto a wreckers and get a lock from there.. (but does that mean ill have 2 different keys..
Any suggestions will be muchly appreciated... :D

Check the latch itself, there is a remote boot latch switch on there, flick it to the opposite position and it should open.

Definitely shave the bootlid :)

If you change the lock, you can get one from a wreckers, however you'll need the matching key.

don't shave it. the boot-lid lock breaks up the monotonous colour on the bootlid...

Just like the 'Subaru' logo breaks up the 'monotonous colour' of the WRX boot... :doubt:

Kill it with fire.

He means that the boot lid looks 'bland' without the lock there, I beg to differ, but what would I know, I'm just a doctor.

nah nah, by all means, take it off. just i don't like it when it aint there, too...i dunno, vast space...u noe.

i think the subaru badge does break the colour on the wrx boot...then again, my personal opinion which may be different to yours.
