Its pretty hard to get under to cover the welds to prevent rust and without causing weld damage as the boot metal is relatively thin. I work at an panel shop so I was able to pick up a BA XT boot for my BA XR6T exactly the same size minus the spoiler holes so a nice flat (factory) finish. Unfortunately for me XTs dont come in phantom so that needed painting not too expensive for me so its worked really well. Ive seen some weld up jobs, some good some bad, getting the 2nd hand boot lid just seemed the easiest and neatest option to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly more chance of being rear ended.Can look really tough though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
