Default any 450h's out there with air runner?

I'm curious to see if any one has installed air runners on a 450h? I know the trunk space is limited but are there any other issues with the install? I'm trying to decide between a 350 or a 450h. I really want to get a 450h and I plan on installing air runners on the car so I don't want to get the car just to find out it will not work. If air runners on a 450h will not work or is not a good idea, I'll just continue searching for a 350.

looks like you have a 350 and the OP is asking for 450h owners.

Yeah the 450h trunk is smaller because of the batteries that power the electric motor. That's my concern right now.

If you buy a 450h and install a airrunner kit and leave it on its baseplate you will have no trunk left,
The 450h trunk is less than half the size of the 300/350/430/460 trunk.

Hydroholics is the best out there for suspension on the market. With a proper installtion the car will ride like a cadillac. These guys have been doing thier own car for the last ten years and have done the research on what works and what doesn't. They have done thier own car for shows along with other of thier club members and people around the AZ area. check them out at www.Hydroholics.net. The owner name is Aaron and he will help you with whatever you need even after the sale. He believe in customer service which he say always comes first.
