Here some picz I took this past weekend.

 

two..

 

Is your trunk customized like that or is that stock? I have a 92. What size 20's do you have on your car? tire size and off set.

 

I am also from Florida and if there was an install place for that trunk, let me know as I know someone with one that might be interested in that. Nice ES

 

 

ummmmmm......whatever floats your boat. rims are a little ghetto fab, and the car looks stock, so why the unnecessary custom trunk to go along with the stock body? but if your happy with it

 

If I remember correctly, the owner is competing on the car show circuit, and of course to win car shows, it's best to come up with mods that are tasteful and creative. This is the first time I've seen a trunk customized to open/close like that, and IMO I think that's really unique. Hope he has a good ICE system to back it up

 

im not tryin to be negative, and thats exactly my point. something has to back up that one visible slight extreme mod to a rather stock bodied ES.

 

I'm loving the trunk.

 

LOL..my trunk setup can back it up. And so can the fiberglass setup I have been working on. And as far as ghetto fabulous. Thats how we do in MIAMI. SIZE DOES MATTER !!! The car would be sitting on 22s if it wasn't for the fact that I want to bag it.

As far as the trunk mod, I did it myself with one of my car club members. It was a pain in the a$$, but it was worth it. I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeve. The hood is next.

Thanks for all the positive comments and the negative.. If anyone has any questions on how to do it please feel free to PM me. Sorry I did not take any tech pics of the install. I will try and do so for the hood..

 

yeh thas cool, definetly post up some hot pics of the ICE!

 

It looks like you rigged the trunk up with some deadbolts the way the trunk is leaning down. There are alot of websites that show you how to do this setup yourself for just a couple bucks. When I started modifying my car I did the same thing. I assume you did this too. To avoid that lean I recommend buying some trunk hinges from autoloc. It will look much better and line the trunk straight. Either that or you're gonna have to use some rubber stoppers to prop that trunk up to a level height and that's just ghetto. I had the autoloc hinges on my car for a while, but in all honesty IMO this mod just doesn't look good on a Lex.

 

Sorry buddy no dead bolts on this trunk. i also used the autoloc suicide kit on on my car( notice the picture) . I just modded it so that opens alot nicer than that nasty 45 degree angle you had on your car. And my trunk lines perfectly NO LEAKS at all.

 

Awesome Mods... esp the trunk.. it looks fantastic.. looks like your hardwork paid off.. pls post the tech pics if you r planning to mod your hood as well..

All the best for the rest of the mods you have in your sleeve...

 

I've got a pict of my old Sable with its "flip-flop" trunk. $10 garage door hinges from Lowes and you're ready to go. Somehow I dont think it would be that simple with a Lexus trunk. The tail lights and the way it closes is different. I wanted my Sable to be different (not the typical grandma car) but the trunk was functional, more so than its stock setup. I wired the reverse lights to turn on when the trunk was open.
