Great looking Mod. You could have used that space to turn your car into a James Bond 007 car. Like grease gun, drop spikes, etc...

sweet! i looked at Rideslow trunk and it looks clean, i'm sure urs will be too especially in the white color. are u planning on keeping the truck white or painting it black to match the roof?

IMO i thnk it wuld b slick if u two toned the trunk to make it like connect from the roof lines. but that also depends on which type of wing you decide to go with. either way awesome job so far. cant wait to see it finished

we totally thought about that! not like we would've done it, but it would have been cool for like small sidewinder missiles or something!

ya know I've thought about the black following down onto the trunk....I think we're gonna keep it white, seeing as we're trying for a more VIP look with just this small custom flair....thought has crossed my mind though.

This is such a tease.. I just wanna see the finished product already!

Doesn't seem like this is an expensive mod... just time consuming.

if you're gonna do it yourself then yes not too expensive, but if you're going to pay someone....well then you've got a lot of labor to look forward to.

Quality work, I like the look of it without even having seen it on your car and painted. I'm liking the stitch welding as well, it looks like a sew-on patch. It'll be nice to see it finally painted.
