[maverick0912]

okay check this out.. i decided to do the a flip flop trunk conversion.. i didnt expect it to be so much work. i thought i will be like 15minute job but took like an hr or so because everything has to be precise. just wondering if anyone did the trunk conversion and how long it took to install it.

i did it a while ago but took it off because i had a big gap between the back glass and the back of the trunk, anyone might know why??? any tips would be very helpful because i would like to do it again...the right way. i followed the tutorial but maybe i'm just a :retard: . anyway it took me about 45 mins.

[maverick0912]

the reason why you have a gap in the back glass because you prolli drill too high in the hood control arm. mine is perfect the way it is. that is the reason why it took awhile because you need precise drilling so there will be no gap of any kind.

I used door hinges. I can post close up pics when I get back to my dorm room if need be. They're very strong and sturdy and I have no problems closing my trunk at all.
