If you check Ebay, you can buy the hinges there for like $6 or something. i always see them on there.

Not only that but i think it may actually be harder to put things in and out of the trunk. I may be wrong about it.

Gotta go look to see if I still have it...I will PM you when and if I find them, Keyser, the trunk always goes back to stock to its a choice you have...I did mine, the flip trunk is only good for show not for any practical use

here i uploaded it since i got a few emails w/ pics and all


http://home.comcast.net/~goodhead203/flipflop.DOC


PS having a 2nd person really helps, i did dolo and it took forever, and get a rubber mallet and bang the **** and it will close proberly and still look stock (ie: not crocked or more gap on 1 side) jsut take some time out to mess with it.

also for max i would use some bigger hindges, it calls for 3" try the next step up in size, it feels more sturdy, not as much play when open/close it, u kinda have to make it fit through the curves on inside though, no biggie

I was looking for the instuctions on the web, but I could not find them. I gave up when I kept on hearing about the gap on one side of the trunk. If it really fits on with no gaps then I must try it out.
thanks alot for the link.

get the f outta here, NY chicks r bugged out, miami girls and florida girls are the easiest ever, if u think ny girls r easy u need to go down there, ny chicks are stuck up compared to fl girls, ill show u 10 girls i know/messed wit, whatever, that look like video girls n shyt, and they wont give u the time of day....it aint that easy out here, the ugly ones r easy....

by the way, on topic.......has anyone tried to shave the top of hte trunk brackets so the trunk can close flip flop???? it wont close flip flop because the hinges are put between the trunk and the bracket arent they? but if u shaved the brackets down, then put the hinges.....wont it close like that? im doing this mod in an hour or so....let me know wut u think

the only time i let a girl swerve my ride was after a twelve pack and a 1/5 of Jack....then she says she wants to leave the party and of course i'm just like screw that blah blah blah....so she finally takes my keys while i'm on my back in my buddy's front yard. i think her goal the whole night was to get me trashed so she could drive my max......that's some shifty business

yeah yeah, anyway, i flip flopped my trunk its hot, i put the latches on, flip flop with the latches on is the same shyt as the stock arrangement.....when u have ure trunk open showing ure system off or something, just flip flop the trunk by unlocking the latches.........its like i dont even have the flip flop trunk when the latches are on, i guess mine came out perfect, or nearly perfect....i think it looks hot when u do use it....and i got my trunk to close even with the flip flop, but the front of the trunk (opposite the trunk lock) stays up a little bit.....anyway its a cool mod when u wanna show ure system off, if u get flip flop, and u do it right, even if u dont ever use it, it doesnt really matter, cuz its back to the stock trunk setup with the latches on n e way.....just an option i have now...thats all....

and for those who think its gay, uhm, okay....its gay then, the f*ck do i care....to each his own.....1

Hey what's up,
I am going to try the Flip Flop trunk on Friday. Does anyone have any advice before I start? If anyone has done itand has any insight on how they did it, I would appreciate it. I want to get my trunk to be aligned and not have gaps. Thanks.
