I was looking at someone's car domain site a few days ago of a white 5.5 gen max that, when you opened the trunk, it stayed level, did not "open," it basically "lifted" up. Who's max is that?

 

Here is my buddy Tekniq's car,

i have this mod too..... VERY easy to do and cost about $5.00 at the most from home depot.......i made it so i can leave it stock or do the flip flop effect when ever i feel like it, ill try an post some pics soon for all to see

 

Can we have a write-up?

 

yeah write up please buddy

 

 

door hinge betweent he bars and the trunk lid. let's you keep it level. that's all.

 

Its called (Flip Flop Suicide Trunk ).

You can buy this Mod Instructions from Ebay ,its only $3.99.And you can still open your trun the normal way after you do this mod to your trunk lid.

Id like to see a write up on this too would make it a lot easier to take my system out like this i think

 

That looks pretty cool actually. I don't really get the benefits of it yet.

 

Does anyone have a FREE write-up that they can kindly share? I don't want to step on anyones toes, just don't feel like paying someone on ebay when we have the org.

 

what dont' you get about DOOR HINGE. just stare it for 2 seconds...it might click in.
also, how's this make the system come out easier....trunk hole still the same size.

 

teh angle of the stock lid is hard to get out cuz of the way my box is shaped.........

 

I've heard people say it makes your trunk lid rattle. Is that true?

 

that would make sense, as it's just a hinge. the back part of the lid can now essentially flap up and down. not a lot, since the door is "locked" but it's got some space to move now. what you COULD do to remedy that is put some velcro so that when you close it, that may give it some steadiness. the velcro would also let you open it the normal way or the modded way.

 

Exactly what kind of door hinge, I mean, I don't want to go to Home Depot looking at 32423 door hinges of all different sizes and stuff.

WHEELMAN

 

I also have a write up, i'll post it on here when i can find it

 

i feel like stabbing someone. that's like a write up on how to fill your gas tank. it's obvious....THIS IS OBVIOUS HOW TO DO IT!!

 

write up...and its free!!

Materials:
2 - 2" Slide Bolts (Latches)
2 - 3” Strap Hinges

1. Drill with small bit (1/16” to 1/8” depending on the size of the screws) to pre-drill screw holes and a large bit (5/16” or 3/8”) to drill for the latches in Step #6
Phillips screwdriver (the screws should come with the hardware)

2. Attach one side of the hinge to the side of the bracket that was connected to the trunk with the hinge facing away from the trunk. Repeat on the other side. Make sure to pre-drill your holes.

3. With help reconnect the trunk to the brackets using only the bottom bolts (the top ones won’t go in because the hinge is covering the hole for them).

4. With the trunk in place, pre-drill and screw in the screws for the other side of the hinges. You may have to bend the hinges slightly to get them to fit right. A little pressure or a small hammer will do the trick.

5. Connect the latches about 2 inches from the bottom of where the brackets touch the trunk lid. Be sure they are mounted on the inside of the brackets.

6. Mark a spot on the stock bracket to drill a hole to allow the latches to latch (this is where the big drill bit comes in). You may have to remove the bottom bolts to drill so you don’t damage them if you ever want to put it back to stock. Be sure the latches will close tightly. If they don't you may have to replace the bottom bolts each time you want to fold down your trunk lid. (If you don’t plan on using this trick too often, you can skip the latches and just replace the bottom bolt anyway. This will keep it very secure but still let you use it when you really want to.)

7. Once you have the latches on, you can remove the bottom bolts if you haven’t already and flip the trunk down. The hinges will let the trunk fold down to level, but not any farther. To close the trunk flip it up, slide the latches into the holes you drilled in step #6, and close the trunk normally.

8. If you have some subwoofers in the trunk, you might want to put some foam tape along the stock brackets to keep the trunk from rattling against them.

9. If at any time you want to put it back to stock, you can just remove the hardware and replace the bolts. There will only be a few small holes showing.
