Default SUICIDE TRUNK, I DID IT, check it out

here R they picks.. yea just hinges and bolts... tell you the truth it needs supporting bars going across the 2 metal bars that actully bring up the trunk for more support..

I would recommend this modd to NO 1

It looks F*KIn badd ***

but on the technical side its a pain in the acc to close.. back side of the trunk says open 2/10 of an inch after closing the trunk.. it seems unstable... not lexus quality... at all.. im switching back to stock trunk settings tommrow morning.. tired to do more..

here R the pics... my friend helped me with it.

Definitely worth a try Camren, and definitely welcomed. We want creativity... some things work, some don't, but we want people to try dude!

Concept is neat but the practicality is not! It looks like you have less of an opening to shove things into the trunk plus it looks like you can accidentally scratch or damage the lid when you are putting something in. Neat looking and very different!

I saw that mod on ebay a while ago. I checked the seller's feedback and it was nothing but negative stuff. I copied some of it. They have like 60 different guys selling these for civics and accords. I even saw this kid driving around town with his trunk open and the thing was flapping all around. Ricers!!

Complaint : Causes truck lid to be angled, tough to form the strap clamp, not worth it
Response by princehodge - MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS!! Cant PLEASE them all......IT REALLY DOES WORK

Complaint : doesn't work not worth it anybody can buy two hinges glad this was for a friend
Response by princehodge - If attached correctly, the trunk hinges hold up properly GUARANTEED!!

Complaint : *RIP-OFF*Here’s someone whose mother’s medical plan should’ve included abortions
Response by princehodge - Nice MATURE comment...deadbeat BIDDER!!! He is the SCAM

Complaint : Poor item...Some hinges and screws...Didn't even have complete instructions
Response by princehodge - NOT even close....Did not even ask ??? HAVE MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS CHECK HIS FB

Complaint : This so called trunk kit is impractical. The hinges are too light and flimsy.
Response by princehodge - Didnt even ask any ???? before leaving this response. Have MANY happy customers

Complaint : thanks for the door hinges.....***........the instructions suck too
Response by princehodge - NOT NICE COMMENTS!!! They are trunk Hinges..MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS!!

Complaint : SENT ME SOME WORTHLESS DOOR HINGES AND SOME SCREWS, RIPPOFF!!!!
Response by princehodge - Not true...trying to ruin my auctions...look at his feedback!!!

Complaint : CHEAP PRODUCT, ACTUALLY IS A $2 WORTH OF HARDWARE AT HOME DEPOT, SCAM ARTIST!!!!
Response by princehodge - Trying to ruin my auctions..look at his FEEDBACK! MANY HAPPY BUYERS!!

Pretty funny feedback. Did you buy your kit on Ebay Kamren?

Thanks to some of the CL members.. they actully told me it was hinges and bolts.... so i went to my car.. looked @ the trunk.. went to homedepot.. shoped for like 30 mins.. got the stuff went home.. and put it on.. thank god i didnt waste money on eGay shiznit.


BTW im serious about the stress-mark. its like a 3 inch crack in paint.. other side of the car is showing the same signs...

CamRen,

Its different to say the least and a nice try on your behalf to make it work.. Looks like it would flop around in the wind thou when you have the trunk up because of how the hinge is placed.. Keep trying!

As they say think outside the box!
