Flip Flop Trunk

[SolaraGuy22]

Well I was bored and decided to go through some old pics. I ran across the ones from when I did my flip flop trunk forever ago and figured I'd throw them on here.

Remove the carpet from the trunk lid


Remove the stock trunk lid


Just like this


And This


Install the hinges


On both


Find out where you need to drill for the holes on the lid for the hinges


Take the hinges off and make a small cut on the tip of the arm so it will lay properly when displayed


Make sure you use something to catch the shards


Just like that


Let your trunk know how lucky it is that it’ll have this cool feature


Install the hinges again


Make sure everything looks good


You’ll need to put something between the hinge and bar to rest smoothly when displayed. *Don't use this jelly crap.


Install the cotter pin in the piece of metal you made and drilled


Here's another pic


And another


Do the other side


Just like that


I used putty/cement stuff to make a mold on the tip so I can shape how I want it to rest


Shape it and sand as needed


Hook everything back up


There you go


And there


Any questions or need more information let me know.

Can you put your carpet back on the trunk?

How does the trunk close? Does it require you to put the pins back in?

RICE

are u gonna put the carpet/insulation back on the trunk?

there's gotta be more outside noise; how do the subs sound now?

[SolaraGuy22]

It actually seals the trunk better than it did stock, with stock you can mash on it and it'll move in with this there is no movement it's solid. Subs sound the same. It's all cosmetic you don't get any benefit from this mod.

Like Mark said I did this back in my rice days and yeah you put the carpet back on. You have to cut a little bit off so it'll move as you can see in the pic I took from when I put Dynamat on it.

did you do most of the work at a parking lot or something?

did you do most of the work at a parking lot or something?

For the most part just because of the fact I could only work on it at night. But once you have the materials it's pretty simple.
