I saw this modification...it makes it so that your trunk opens, and then flips down so that it stays parallel to the ground, and I thought it looked really cool, wanted to see if you had any input or experience. Theres a few sites that sell them, one that I saw was

Next Level Motoring

It's a pretty cheap mod, and looks awesome for showing off the system, let me know if you have any input!!

it'll mess up your trunk, don't do it

 

How does it mess up you trunk?

 

Sadler has revised his version of the flip flop trunk lid a while ago. I just did mine recently the same way he redid his and ZERO probs here!

cost: $5 and 20min using a welder(FREE)

make sure if you do get it welded that the paint on your trunk does not bubble, this was a grave issue with Jason's car because he just had his trunk repainted a few days before he had it welded. Ant did you get it done at jeff's shop also?

 

how so??

I had mine done with the shtt hinges that companies sell online to people in "kits" and i used home depot hinges and for the weight of our trunk and just the way it opens you can't use those hinges without them bending under pressure and the trunk not closing right.

you can however use a thick 1" x 1" hinge and weld it to the trunk lid and the arms of the trunk.. you take out the stock bolts when you want it to "flop" and put them back in when you want to close it up.

it's very simple actually.

 

i thought your trunk got misaligned and you hated it?

 

with the shtt hinges.. it's all gravy now.

 

Water spill into your trunk if it's rainy out?

 

not anymore it seals like factory now, but i had a couple days where that was an issue.

 

I think he means when you flip it up, does water go in the trunk.

 

my bad jason, you welded it, correct (you got any pics?)

 

dont do it

 

do you have experiance with this mod Newbie??

cause if you dont, dont say anything! You poeple have to understand that if you dont weld these hinges in place it will eventrually come loose and cause some problems. My advice is to have it welded and forget about it. I must flop my trunk open once a day to show people and shes solid like a rock.

why not?

 

 

we just went over this

 

hmm i wonder if i should consider this mod now? what do u think Jason?

 

I only wear flip flops when I'm at the beach. I just got a pair made from carbon fiber

 

don't forget when you go out to get the mail.. no time to put on shoes, slide the flip flops on..

 

well, I forgot to mention that I slip them on to get the morning paper

 

i hate flip flops , i'll go bare foot and then go take a shower

 

i love my flops

 

It's very simple to do, it odn't mess **** up, it cost maybe 10 20 bucks..


Still don't do it.















Why?



It's gay.

 

What you think is "gay" is your opinion...and because of it, my opinion is that your gay.

 

*WARNING*
PERSONAL OPINION AHEAD:

Looks stupid, don't do it.

 

 

 

I wouldnt even take the remote possibilty it could leak with a system in the trunk. Sorry, thats just too much risk for some stupid little trunk deal.

Really, its a trunk.

 

Why do you gay people get so afended by that term...Jeeez.



I do love this forum though, if you don't like somthing thats over done and say so, let the gay trash talking begin.

 

flip flop trunks are overdone on maxima's?? hmm.. news to me..

maybe konig monsoons, stillen blowers, and stock kits are.. but not flip flop trunks??

 

I didn't mean maximas in perticular...I'm talking in generel, the same things to all cars are done over and over...Doing the same old stuff don't make it special...Damn you guys take **** way to literal.

 

 

Amen. It looks cheap to me.

 

Alright guys thanks for all the info. I stayed away from that FlipFlop trunk kit but I did end up purchasing a Racing video from them and got it in like 2 days and it was perfect. Thanks.
