Flip Trunk

http://www.flipfloptrunk.com/picsandvids.htm

Now i know i have seen what parts you need to do this, i cant find the list i saw before i was looking at doing this just for somthing to do to my car, for the fun of it. and 45$ USD for the parts is ridiculous considering i can go to the hardware store and buy them, has anyone done this to there car and know what parts to use?

Re: Flip Trunk

Why would you want something like that?
I hav seen it done, but I think it could be a safty issue.
Like hit the back glass while it was flipin

Be cool and make it open backwards, from the top by the glass, and the hinges back where the latch was..

Re: Flip Trunk

that sucks! Though if you plan on driving it long, you would want to get it fixed somewhere, that goes out you might hav a hard time steering the car, could be damgerous.

Get a second opinion! Hav another shop look at it, the stealership could be wrong, you never know.

Especially since you still owe $8k, be hell trading it in and add that to the car price....

Good Luck!
