flip flop trunk is played out, its a easy mod just unblot and add a hinge and locking device

I think they make kits for those. I wouldn't be surprised if you can find one on Ebay

they do but its a rip off, ive done it before on my old car and my freinds civic, its cheap parts from home depot. 2 hinges, and 2 gate type locks, or if you dont wanna lock it into place you can just use the hinges

hmmm its just i took a quick look at the trunk but ill take a better one tomarrow.. but is it just strictly bolt off? cause if so this wont b hard at all!

Heh, I saw someone at our local car meets use some duct tape in his 'kit' a couple years back

here was my flip flop, I just used hinges hence why it goes so far, if you install a lock you can prevent it from going to far back

The idea of a flip-flop trunk kit is pretty cool. I understand it is a bit played out....like Lambo doors, but hey. For those into "showing" their car: the spoiler will sit at a cool angle (instead of 90 degrees toward the back window), a custom license plate can still be displayed, as can cusom work to the rear of the trunk lid.

I say go for it, and have fun!

yea im gonna use locks and henges so its good and sturdy

i take back what i said.. im sorry i read it wrong when u said kit i thought u ment bodykit or sumthin.... didnt read the post above it.. sorry

i still cant see how that got "cool". i mean i can see if it stayed level while opening but if you have to open it THEN lower the trunk...wtf. it doesnt even make it easier to get anything in the trunk and i saw the outside of the trunk lid while it was closed!

however if ya wanna do it i say go for it.
