This is definitly a mod that is more form than function. It doesn't float my boat but it does add a unique element to the car.

I think they look out of place on any car. Even lambo doors look cool cause that is at least on a real production car. No car has a flip trunk like that. They look too ricey for me. JMHO

As for those who are not sure how it works... the trunk works like normal. Then, when you want to flip it like the pic you unlatch one of the hinges and it flips flat.

alright i will take your word for it...if i could just buy hinges from home depot then which ones would i buy and how would i do it...maybe some pics of what you bought would help...but thanks for the for warning...and how soon would the motorized one come out. Thanks for the forwarning...sorry about your luck

the hinges i used arent junk, they are heavy duty shits. the trunk opens normally then it flips; to answer rain and sub box questions. there is a way to do it so your trunk doesnt fly all over the place. my way damn it. ill post a groupbuy deal and for someone close to my shop ill even install it for free with detailed pics and instructions.
it can be done without being shotty. rice, or whatever you want to call it, someone with it is going to catch more eyes and get more points at a show than you.
its different on the cl's than on the civic, the trunk folds at an angle, not straight up and down.

i like the look and definately would get some looks at a show the angle of our trunks would turn some heads if the trunk is flipped differently than most
