For, ah, future reference, how do I get the wiring out the correct way?
To the topic of my thread, since I'm going to replace my trunk lid, is there any easily swappable trunk lid with a spoiler built on? It may sound vain, but if I'm going to spend hard earned money and time in the pick-n-pull resurrecting what the insurance guys told me was totalled, then I want to bring my ride back with style.
I've heard that some models of pontiac bonneville can fit, but I have no evidence of that. So before I started playing with cars all day in the junkyard, I thought I'd ask and save myself some frustration.

I can't imagine that GM made ANY cars ever with swappable body parts to the degree you are talking about. For all the dimensions to be exact would be an amazing coincidence, in my opinion. That said, I could be wrong. Even if you COULD put a Bonneville trunk lid on, why would you want to? The lights wouldn't match up right (the 92 has part of its lights on the car and part on the trunk lid and they match each other, which the Bonneville would undoubtedly NOT).
Not only that, but a LeSabre souped up to look like a race car would probably look stupid. You are free to try and make it work and free to like it, but the rest of the world will probably be wondering what is going on in your head.
As for bringing your ride back with style: if you don't like the styling of the LeSabre, why not sell it and get a car whose styling you do like?
