William Goldman's article "What is a projective structure?" in the Notices of the AMS states that Daryl Cooper has shown that $RP^3 \\# RP^3$$\mathbb{RP}^3\#\mathbb{RP}^3$ has no $RP^3$$\mathbb{RP}^3$ structure. The article gives further references, but I couldn't find a reference for the Cooper result.
Changed \\# to \# and RP to \mathbb{RP} (the second change was made so that enough characters were changed for the edit to be valid; normally I wouldn't make such an edit).
