I'm still trying to understand the practical use of it or even the show aspect? Do people find a trunk that opens upwards sexy or something?
No one down here would install that kit and show it in public.

Yeah but I want to know how to do it.

Make a little money off the ricers in my town. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

The trunk no longer swings up, it lifts straight up. Keeps the trunk lid level the whole time...

Yeah, it's a bad pic and the car is dirty. It looks pretty good in person; It's just a gimmick.

Oh, and they're Digital Audio. The kid smeared silicon all over them for whatever reason.

it was more a conversation piece than an item to be scrutinized.

30min? nice.

It's a very easy mod, all it really requires is instead of the trunk being bolted in 2 spots on each "arm" remove the deck lid, install a hinge of some sort in between the deck lid and where it orignally mounted on the arms... drill a hole to put a locking pin in (to allow for normal operation too) and you're done...

these are the auto-loc hinges for it... you can see how easy it would be to make your own...

Those hinges are way nicer than the ones we used =-P
