SmoothDaddyFig 04-29-2002, 04:31 PM Tools used: Channel locks and razor blade ( for rubbery residue ) :D http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid19/p706f7ab0fc900500cd8fa70651c4b323/fdc5d8b1.jpg Black93 04-29-2002, 04:37 PM IS there any end to this insanity????!!!! :D:D:D:D:D SERracer01 04-29-2002, 05:26 PM what are you goin to end up doing to the trunk? Matt 04-29-2002, 05:57 PM Ummm.. Why?:confused: Serban 04-29-2002, 06:09 PM Seriously Jonathan, you need a hobby, how about taking up model car building, and when you finish building it, cut it in half :) BORNGEARHEAD 04-29-2002, 06:17 PM Do what you gotta do. I will end up doing the same thing. By the way, what ever happen to that carbon fiber decklid idea? I thought it was a damn good idea. How are we to whoop Honda ass if we're not even on the same playing field? Lexan windows, one-piece front ends, carbon fiber fenders, carbon fiber decklids, carbon fiber dashes? se-r sam 04-29-2002, 06:36 PM What did you end up using to cut the metal?:) Stiletto 04-29-2002, 07:02 PM :eek: i dunno smooth. those supports are there for structural rigidity. i'd be worried that if something too heavy were to be placed (or worse--hit) the center, it might cave in. i am curious, though, how much weight did you actually save? SE-Rican 04-29-2002, 08:11 PM LOL!!! Thats my Boy!!!!!:D Sr20 B12 04-29-2002, 09:49 PM Does it vibrate like crazy? I rode in my friends civic with a fiberglass trunk and it was so damn loud! SmoothDaddyFig 04-29-2002, 10:17 PM Originally posted by Black93 IS there any end to this insanity????!!!! :D NEVER!!!!!!:D :D Well, this car will be my "play" car and I decided to start modding with the "free" stuff. If anything I lost 3lbs 2 ounces. :eek: I just did it to do it. Plus, the look on my wifes face when I brought in the trunk was "PRICELESS". :D :D se-r sam, I looked at the snips you told me about and I didnt have enough $$ to get them. They were only $10-$15 at Ace Hardware but it was either snips or dinner at Chilis. I followed my stomach. :) I will get them though for my hood supports though. I used channel lock pliers for the trunk and just used the "peel-sheet-metal" technique. The metal is really thin and rips off easily. The trunk does not vibrate at all, but it is really wobbly when you open it. Im thinking the rubber lining on the trunk stops it from vibrating when closed. I wouldnt recommend it if its your ONLY car. Keep your eye out for more free spontaneous mods. :D | ||
