how hard is the flip flop to install. i was thinking of doing it if there was no welding or cutting.

i did do some cutting (well Anthony did) to the hinges.. both sides were triangles but when i put them along the car the bottom half was squared off and the top half was cut along the line of the trunk, almost like a swervy angle to match up with the car.. go take a look in your trunk and you'll see what i mean.. that's the best i can explain it

its hard if not impossible to close while it's still flip flopped, so to close it i have to reattach two of the stock screws.. it's kinda annoying to take them out and put them back in every time you wanna show it off, but i guess it's something you have to put up with.. so since you put it back to stock when closing it, it looks completely normal and flush when closed
