EpicenterDesigns Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 You could do the flip flop hinges, but they actually bolt to the stock arms so you wouldn't actually be gaining that space........ http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/autoloc/product.lasso?prodinc=flipfloptrunk You could just buy some new hinges that replace yours and take up less space since they mount in a new location..... http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/autoloc/product.lasso?prodinc=trunkhinge Building The Best.....Repairing The Rest The bitter after-taste of a poor quality job will last far longer than the sweetness of that cheap price!

uhoh_45 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I did this to my grand am I had: Not exactly show car worthy, but it was an experiment that turned heads. i seen this in your build log long ago i want more pics of it and more info on it if you dont mind how exactly did you attach it and how much trunk space did you gain - that actuator does it stick into trunk or is it flush with lid when closed?

Let's see... I'll try to dig some info up on it, I did that almost 2 years ago... It's on my cardomain. Linky link to trunk info It's pretty ghetto, but it wouldn't be difficult to modify the design if you know what you're doing. As for space gain, the car had the big loop hinges with tension bars that limit your usable space, and after it was done you could use nearly the entire trunk. I never had any water issues with it, but if I did it again I would move the latching mechanism to the side instead of leaving it stock. Unfortunately I don't have any more pics of it. As for how the lift cylinder sat in there, I made the bracket for the trunk part to mount by where the weather stripping is, and the spot where it mounts on the lid was made to stick down an inch lower that the other one so that when the lid was closed, and the lift cylinder would be trying to push it self out, it would push the lid downward and help keep a good seal on the lid.
