New Mod Retro Flip Trunk.

Well 2day i finally got time to mod my trunk. It took about and hr and 3 bux worth of nuts and bolts from the hardware store. Thats about all im gonna say. And yes its like Badg1rl aka Donnas trunk. I talked to Kenny and Donna about it at the last car show and took a look at thier trunk and saw how it was done. Here are some pix for ya:

If I am picturing this correctly, all it would be is the addition of a hinge of some sort.

correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't you take off the wires leading to your trunk lights, etc. to do this? i don't see the loom running to the lid. wouldnt that render your backup/brake lights useless?

like the look though =] haha
