I havent seen that done, but at some shows, ive seen the trunk cut in half and opens up and to the sides of the car.

 

Don't buy it!!!! That is a rip-off, I have that mod done, and all it is, is a weird hinge, and the unbolting of your furthest forward bolts on the lid.

 

got pics? like to see how it looks on a max

 

anyone have costs on this? what about pics on a Max? What do they do with the OEM tension rods that hold the lid up now?

I'm going to have to remove the tension rods on my car for my stereo, so I gotta find some other way to keep the lid up.. if this will do it, then.......

 

I woulda though you be on the "this is to ricey side"
it looks kind cool,Id like to see pics diferent angles though and how if it would still support my wing because my stock ones have a real hard time.lol

 

well like he said, he needs a way to keep his hood up for his system, so it would be more for functionality that riceness.

 

It was a joke, I dont think anything is ricey everyones entitled to there own taste even though sometimes it taste so bad I wana puke I keep my mouth shut.

 

well actually Dodge stratus trunks have a similar opening mechanism from the factory.. plus it's only something you notice with the trunk open.. and it's not yellow and doesn't have and stickers.. and it doesn't try to convey the image that you're faster than a 17s 4-banger.....
so IMO, it's not rice. I do think it's a little silly for people who don't need it, but in my case I need something similar to that for my trunk to open correctly once I get the system in.

 

Matt just split the trunk in half and add the "dancing trunk lid" hydraulics.

 

But that would add too much weight! I'm using CF and Kevlar for a reason!

 

so, anybody gonna tell how it's done specifically? I'd like to try this.
What's the mod called? If I search the 'net, what keyword(s) do I use?
Jay

 

i dont know anything about it except for this guy who has it on his civic and is trying to market it.... why dont you email the guy (look at his ebay account) and find out the details

 

matt, you're trunk is not gonna open correctly without this mod? how so? all i think this is, is a hinge that will have to be modded in between the trunk and the supports that open the trunk

 

i thought this was completly pointless, but i guess if a use can be put to it thats pretty cool... but what they wont think of next.. geez

 

ive always liked lowriders and that whole scene. i like suicide doors and other crazy things like that. i think that trunk kit looks pretty cool. i dont know if id actually buy it or not.

 

now that is f'ed up

 

the OEM trunk design uses torsion rods as springs to hold the trunklid up. (they're the metal rods running under your rear deck).
I'm installing a pair of 12s in the rear deck and I need to remove them in order to do it. Sooo, I'll have nothing to hold my tunklid open. I gotta find another way to do it. If this thing has it's own spring design, then it'll work fine for me. if it uses oem springs, then I'm skrood.

what about buying some hydrolic lifts from like auto zone or something and custom fitting those to your trunk lid?

something similar to our hoods?
would that seem feasible after your system install?
or would there be no room?
