Changing your trunk?

Well buy my trunk hinges. Makes the install process a 1000 times easier because you won't have to deal with the soft azz torx screws that will surely be stripped.

I'll take 110 shipped for them. I bought them from Riverside for 100/pc. They are only trunk hinges but if you need a pic I will take some.

These torx screw bolts have a different style groove to them(if you've seen on before you'll know what I mean). Well it takes force to get them off and unfortunately they are very shallow and they are soft. You will strip them unless you are extremely lucky(which I wasn't). I was able to finally get them off with the right tools but it took cutting the bolts completely. Someone will rather pay a hundred bucks as opposed to going through this hassle. Hopefully that someone is on driver and frequents the marketplace. Any more questions?

Similar to these....(Not my auction)

Sorry, just sounded confusing to me. I also did strip my screws ended up cutting them and puting new screws on there.

I used a drill, but it was a pita. I'll cut you a deal for the hinges since you got my trunk ;-). LMK
