Reply With Quoteword Cali how did you do it? I have a pair for the hood, but I was wondering if you could do the same for the trunk.
Yo Cali, how did you mount them to get the trunk to work? I've been trying to figure out a way to do that for awhile, even with the the guys from Redline. The best way that I've found to rig it to work, I saw on an Accord's trunk at NOPI last year. (Wish I knew where that pic was) I think they just used some regular gas springs from a auto parts store. But please post some pix if you could. If I can't get this to work, I was thinking about going the linear actuator route.Originally Posted by Cali

Where are the pics? I salvaged my hood struts from my accident, so I'd like to use them for my trunk and get new ones for the hood since I'm back to my stock hood now.
huh, i've been waiting patiently also to see them...Where are the pics?
Also interrested to see this :twisted:
were you able to get pics of them installed Cali?

abducted by aliens mabye??? :?:
sorry for the late reply i kept forgetting. :)
i should clear something up. i didnt use the shocks for the hood; rather, i bought a kit from them for the lancer. (they have a trunk kit for the lancer) and played around with where i would install them using some very strong double side tape till i got it right. it's a very very tight fit but it works. here are some pics:

GROUND BREAKING!
That is some great work you did there buddy. It don't look like it was a simple job thats for sure.
hm. so it works on a CF trunk, without tension bars. i wonder how it would work on the factory trunk. i know when chicagogtz went in for the prototype they couldn't get it to work. i wonder what techniques they used to mount the trunk.
im sure it would work on a regular trunk. like the hoods, i specificed for a cf trunk.

so when you pop your trunk, the trunk opens automatically? or you still need to use a finger to lift it?
finger it.

Another mod to think about
cali, when u go to close it, is it easy to close or is there a bunch of resistance? for those with factory trunks, you might want to ask for heavier shocks cuz the stock trunk weighs more, especially if you're gonna remove the torsion bars
Thanks for the pics Cali. I was hoping to use the ones from my CF hood, but if you used the ones for a lancer, I guess they won't work. I'll give it a shot anyway.
