Flip Flop Trunk Modification : Has anyone done this on their max and does anyone know how to or where a site is that will tell me how or have the parts i need to get.....Im not sure if this was posted because you know.....SEARCH IS DOWN and it's only for the donaters and right now you CAN"T DONATE.

 

Yeah, one of the regular posters did this rice mod to their max.

 

Call it what you would like. I like it and I dont like the stock way. Do you know the guys site or name or any pages to do this?

 

don't remember his name, but you can buy the kit off of ebay.

 

umm, dude... do a bit of reading online about it. google ownz joo.

it's freaking hinges from home depot and a couple screws.

besides that, the trunklid doesn't fit back on right and rattles if you have a system in the trunk.

 

There is no way to make it not rattle?

 

Sure! do something original and leave the trunk the way it is.

 

Alright Alright..... lol sorry for likeing it.

 

Oh c'mon that wouldn't be the rice way to do things

 

Lol okay then. I just like diffrernt things. Different mods and stuff.

 

if you think about how its done its really not that hard and Im sure with some planing and trial and error you could get it to work better than some other people have, dont listen to these guys there just breakin your *****, its your car do what you want.

 

Thanks..... I dont mind them saying w/e I like it but I dont know if I can do it because i dont wana make it rattle.

 

So do like the SPL freaks... weld steel plates onto the corners of the trunk and bolt the lid down when you don't want it open.

 

I think the guy here is e_is_chillin

this is his car:


to each his own...I don't mind that mod because you can't see it when you are driving down the road (like you can an aluminum wing or lots of stickers)

 

Ure right, thats him. Wonder if he has a system in the trunk?

 

Thanks , Well i'll have to contact him and ask what he did and if it rattles

 

Instead of making your car look like ghetto crap, why don't you spend the money on something useful, like suspension parts?

 

it only costs like 5 bucks for this one, show me a suspension product for $5.

 

been there done that...will never do it again...

 

now tell the man y.
that way maybe he won't try it if given good reason.

 

Alright well first off i couldn't even find a boot for $5 but if I get a good reason why not to I wouldn't do it. But if i get it looks stupid or it looks bad or ghetto or anything that doesn't discourage me.

 

He means the hinges r $5. I would just ask e_is_chillin because he still has his. I say each to their own I want to do that because it would be very unique down here. Plus, I don't care about rattle, my trunk alredy does that now

 

I care about the ratteling though so hopefully i could come up with something tighter or closer or something to figure out how to make it not do that.

 

Maybe try sum an extra thick rubber weather strip where the OEM is. I would try that, but don't know where down here to get the stuff.

 

hum do you know the how to for our car? i've seen it done on a probe or something and it doesn't match up right.

 

I like both the stock trunk AND that "flip flop" trunk..EXCEPT, the flip flop lid looks kinda strange while its open without a spoiler, and *ALL* spoilers/wings look pretty lame on 3rd gen maximas IMO..the ONLY exception I've seen, is a low profile spoiler on a VERY dark blue car with 5% tint on all side and rear windows, preferrably with shaved rear door handles, in which case I like the way it looks..

Cosmetic mods and performance mods each have their place..IMO maximas don't belong completely to one side or the other..but, do what YOU like to YOUR car, and don't let what anyone says about the way it looks discourage you..

 

Hey man if you like it go for it! To each his own. I have a ported box in my car and the port leads through the max's rear deck. No rattling here. Oh and no leaking either. The only downside is that when the trunk is closed it doesnt align like if it was stock.

 

Alright thank you very much. The trunk that doesn't line up right should be able to be fixed

 

Dont get me wrong, it doesn't look bad. I like the mod. I'm a take some pics of my audio set-up and post them on my homepage tomorrow.

 

post pics of the trunk too, I'm curious to see it closed now.

 

No I didnt get your email......... try vlad2442@hotmail.com since that didnt work if you would like. thank you very much

 

Done... did you get it?

 

Teah, I would like to see a pic with ure trunk down cause I want to do the same. So E, when u have a pic, let me know.

 

I have some on my homepage! Bottom of P.2 but they're not to close

 

Had a look, u can't tell from those pics if its not lined up right. Thats just me

 

Thats want I'm sayin... it ain't that bad

 

oooooohhhhhhhh, ok

 

MAN my email must suck or something because i haven't got anything. you should pm when you get online so we can talk and you can send it over a messenger or something.

thanks

 

Hey man.....can you just put whatever you were going to email me on your web site or on here or something? it would help since i dont seem to be gettring your emails.

 

I can't post it cause of the format its on. I scanned the image and dont know how to convert it to a format that this website will take. I can email it. Did you get anything from me?
