  1. i am going to be really nice people =D

    really and quick way of installing a flip flop boot if you dont know what this is pic below:

    20924840233_large.jpg

    Materials:

    2 - 2" Slide Bolts (Latches)

    2 - 3” Strap Hinges

    Flip-Flop Trunk Lid Instructions

    Drill with small bit (1/16” to 1/8” depending on the size of the screws) to predrill

    screw holes and a large bit (5/16” or 3/8”) to drill for the latches in Step

    #6

    Phillips screwdriver (the screws should come with the hardware)

    ----------------

    Instructions:

    1. Remove your trunk lid by unbolting 4 bolts. Do not remove the stock

    brackets, only the trunk lid. You may have to remove some wiring also.

    Just remember where everything plugs back in. This part will take 2

    people.

    2. Attach one side of the hinge to the side of the bracket that was

    connected to the trunk with the hinge facing away from the trunk.

    Repeat on the other side. Make sure to pre-drill your holes.

    3. With help reconnect the trunk to the brackets using only the bottom

    bolts (the top ones won’t go in because the hinge is covering the hole for

    them).

    4. With the trunk in place, pre-drill and screw in the screws for the

    other side of the hinges. You may have to bend the hinges slightly to

    get them to fit right. A little pressure or a small hammer will do the

    trick.

    5. Connect the latches about 2 inches from the bottom of where the

    brackets touch the trunk lid. Be sure they are mounted on the inside of

    the brackets.

    6. Mark a spot on the stock bracket to drill a hole to allow the latches

    to latch (this is where the big drill bit comes in). You may have to

    remove the bottom bolts to drill so you don’t damage them if you ever

    want to put it back to stock. Be sure the latches will close tightly. If they

    don't you may have to replace the bottom bolts each time you want to

    fold down your trunk lid. (If you don’t plan on using this trick too often,

    you can skip the latches and just replace the bottom bolt anyway. This

    will keep it very secure but still let you use it when you really want to.)

    7. Once you have the latches on, you can remove the bottom bolts if

    you haven’t already and flip the trunk down. The hinges will let the

    trunk fold down to level, but not any farther. To close the trunk flip it

    up, slide the latches into the holes you drilled in step #6, and close the

    trunk normally.

    8. If you have some subwoofers in the trunk, you might want to put

    some foam tape along the stock brackets to keep the trunk from rattling

    against them.

    i have attached a PDF version of this tut, it includes pictures please let us know what you guys think =]

  3. that is gay next minute RIMS are going to be illegal :P... how about a bonnet protector :P jks lol

    How about thinking with your head for a second to realise that tinting head and/or tail lights reduces the light transmission and therefore affecting the ADR's.

    heheh you do have a point, but because of 8000k HID's it will minimize it to ADR ;) lol :P

    heheh and this looks mad=D...
