i think that is cool looking and all but i still think like i said last time this thread appeared that it looks like photoshop job. even the group buy pics look like they were photoshopped. but all in all i think i would buy one.

Instructions are also for sale on eBay for like $60 ... hehe ...

[Swonder67]

Anyone have the instructions, and want to post them... for free!!!

I'm sure you could just go to home depot and buy the nessecary hardware.

[soul180]

i was the one who posted that before, and from what i heard, the guy who sold the instructions on ebay was a crook and ripped everyone off....that's why no one has instructions that they can post on here.....

[buh_buh]

if they made these for my car, I would buy them in a second!
But do they not come with instructions or what's the deal?
I posted a question asking them if they had instructions, and also if they have them for other Hondas, so we'll see what they say.

the pictures do look photoshopped, does anybody know anyone that has bought the kit?

[supafly1024]

I haven't bought the kit or anything, because I don't have a Civic. However I have seen a car with this trunk conversion at a show I went to so I don't think that pic is photoshopped.

that pic IS photoshopped! look at the freaking licence plate! plus the color doesnt even match!

[Beyond Imagination]

What's wrong with the license plate?

[spy54]

if it's photoshoped hoe come you can see the interior part of the trunk

[xil akuma lix]

1. the licence plate isnt in the right perspective
2. the whole trunk looks like urethane and not like the rest of the body(except kit)
3. the altezzas are different on the car and trunk are different

unless someone can post a pic with a different view ill think otherwise

[kicker1_solo]

That is possible to do, even though I think that pic is photoshopped. It's possible because anything is possible. I think that would be great for a show car.

[igo4bmx]

that is not photoshop. the liscense plate is molded into the trunk at an angle for show. the car is just not painted thats all. think U CAN SEE THE INTERIOR

if you think about it, it requires basic hardware parts. its pretty simple now that i have thought of it... it takes a bolt and a hinge. i really don't feel like describing it right now.. maybe tommorrow heh heh (if people care for it)

OK guys - I'm gonna give you the full inside deal - Do not buy those kits. I bought one off eBay a couple of months ago and it is a total scam. I was sent a set of hinges and a latch and some poorly explained/copied instructions.

So, here's what I'm going to do for you guys - just to piss off those scaming @$$holes - I'm going to give you all the details of my "purchase" for free.

Flip-Flop Trunk Lid Instructions

----------------
Materials:

1 - 2" Window Bolt (7 screws included)
2 - 3" Lt Strap Hinges (13 screws included)

----------------
Instructions:

1. With trunk open, mark the trunk lid at the top of the stock brackets.
2. Remove your trunk lid by unbolting 4 bolts. Do not remove the stock brackets, only the trunk lid.
3. Attach the flat side of the enclosed hinge to trunk lid below the marked. With the bottom of the hinge facing down.
4. You will have to bend hinge.
5. With help reattach trunk lid to stock brackets using curved hinge. Be sure to pre-drill all holes before mounting new hinge. This hinge will create the fold down effect.
6. Connect enclosed latches about 2 inches from the bottom of the trunk lid. Be sure they are mounted on the inside of the stock brackets.
7. Mark a spot on the stock bracket to drill to allow the latches to latch. Be sure the latch will latch tightly. If it doesn't latch tightly you may have to replace the stock bottom bolts each time you want to fold down you trunk lid.
