    Check this out, my next project.

    This is licence plate delete on the back, I have person to make it flat, but I have to figure it out how to make the trunk to open. My one friend said they took trunk opener from some other car, from junkyard, the one you can open from the driver area. Anyone has experience with this mod? Any ideas how to open the trunk. I didn't knew about this mod, nor ever seen it, my friend told me about it and he is from europe.

    Looks HOT

    I feel like it throws off the balance of the back of the car, look wise

    but i mean if you like it, you like it

    Maybe you can have a button that automatically opens the drunk, from a keyless entry button, or from the inside of the car

    I dont think that will be a problem
    maybe just get a little pricey

    That would be nice. But I guess I would have to change the lock.

    looks pretty bad IMHO, you need the creases and details, otherwise it's a big flat blank panel that looks way out of place.

    I'd like to see it on more cars to get a better feel.

    I think it could have potential....


    That car in particular is not the best example IMO though. Needs to loose the alien pee sticker, the side vents, change the wheels, diff. spoiler....

    I don't care for the look, but the answer you're probably looking for is to use a solenoid activated trunk release. They're used all the time when people shave their handles. My '46 Ford will have them.
    Put in a solenoid and you'll probably be all set, unless you need a popper button, which I don't think will be necessary. The solenoid can run off a remote, a button inside, or both.

    Yeah it's not just that it looks unfamiliar... It's just butt ugly. Sorry, man but the only reason for that mod would be aesthetics, and, yeah, just ain't happening... It throws off the whole visual balance of the back end. But if you want to do it just to be different, go ahead. I'm sure the accords and civics will gather round to see your mod and swoon over it.... Way ricey

    (I'm not going to make any statement about how I think it looks.)

    There's probably a more productive use of the time and money it would take to do that.
