it has been posted on this board a couple of times, try using the search button next time. It will give you faster answers. I would tell you how, but I honestly dont know.

note: there are no instructions on how to do it. it needs to be custom done by a body shop or other place but it can be done if you have the right tools and know what you are doing, from what i heard it is not that hard but there is one thing that ross did that gives it that personal touch from the others, i think it is the way it flips and the angle, i dont know, but pm him and hit me up and see if i have apic for ya

yeah, get instructions off ebay, ebay is known for its quality!

the flip is easy, the hard part is getting the trunk to close perfectly after welding and cutting your arms. try it i dare you, then bring the car down to the shop when your trunk alignment is all screwed up and there is a puddle of water in your trunk.

because people understand to make a car nice you pay for it and customers here do pay, im not going to show pics or explain it. you want it done, come to the shop and pay, or send me $50 and i will send you the hardware with detailed instructions and pics. dont worry i have the material published and copywritten, along with 3 other tutorials that i sell here at the shop. i have enough people copying my shit around here, and its time be keep stuff a secret until its done. i have tried to help many people on here and half the time i get shit for my prices being too high. sorry im in a bad mood and sick of people that want everything for nothing.

hey man, relax a little bit.

I have to say that you are a pioneed in the industry for the CL's. I have seen a lot of your qork it seems to be of the highest quality. Not to mention that you offered to make a body kit for any CL who wanted one.

Sorry about the quote I wrote on your post if that pissed you off.. but Your pricing guide on your site is the same one off of nopi.. I do apologize if you took it the wrong way.. I really didn't say anything about expensive prices or anything.. so I guess it wasn't me... I was just seeing if anyone could help but I guess not..

no you didnt piss me off at all. i was just making a point. the pricing off my site is designed by the same company that builds nopis site. i really dont care if there are places on the net that have cheaper prices. our prices are fair, you can order safely on our site, and our company is very approachable and honest. we have customers all the time that know they can get stuff for cheaper elsewhere but would rather deal with 1 company that always looks out for them. its called a business-to-customer relationship. to some people that is still important.

please understand why i am not showing tricks anymore. it would be like david copperfield showing how he does his magic. nobody would be interested anymore and he'd be out of business. its nothing personal. we all have to eat, and these secrets pay for food.
