***PICS*** Got bored, decided to....
Flip-Flip my trunk lid
Took a couple hours to bend/cut some steel hinges so they'd fit right, and figure out how to fasten them so they'd be strong enough.
Here's a few pics:

Ant- I can't imagine how many people are gonna stop and ask questions now that we'll have two flip-flops right next to each other. It was bad enough with just yours, lol. The chrome is going to make people freak
mecca- Thanks bro. I have plenty of performance mods for now....it's all show mods for the time being. 7" Microvision will be here tomorrow and Pioneer DVD/CD/MP3 got here yesterday. Both going in the car tomorrow night, along with Playstation
uncdood- I'm glad you like it. It's sharp looking. I had already sent my FSTB out to be chrome dipped, so I had no use for the CM.com one
***I wouldn't even be able to do a write up on how I made the custom hinge for this project, and how I mounted it. Sorry guys***

gosh.. the flip flop trunk mod is a "me 2" mod now.
looks good tony, i am working hard to get that chrome back to you asap.. it ended up costing more to have it stripped and sanded completely smooth, but I took care of the extra money.

NightRider- I know this. I'll only remove the main bolts when I want to flip-flop the lid. Otherwise you'd never even know I had this mod done
Sadler- Thanks buddy, you know I appreciate everything. I love chrome!!

i needed to take pictures when i got mine all welded, because those hinges are just crap and bend all out of place. oh well, people will figure it out.
