You also know that there won't be any fitment issues.

once you finish your trunk , hit me up about the 06 trunk with spoiler

True....^....don't forget the equipment but more importantly....talent! Welding and shaping will all the difference in the final project and quality body work will help too! :NOD:

this was the old position of hoop.... had to lay back more for my liking once i looked at it some more...Attachment 207425 this is what it was after i moved it. i wanted to stay as close to that body bend in the trunk as i could so it looks factory.Attachment 207426 this is after......

looks great

very nice.... the bottom piece will be a little harder to fit though. and lots and lots of welding. congrats. when you make something instead of buying it there is a great feel of accomplishment isn't there?

speedcretin 01-26-2013 11:56 AM

yes sir! andy did u do the bottom peice in one or two peices?
:confused2:

i think i started with one but i had to do 2 pieces with some pie cuts instead to get that compound curve.

i was thinking about making these for others. i would say an easy $800 to get a painted one. and the customer can decide if they want one layed back more or what ever they have in mind, hell it's custom.

TORETTO 01-26-2013 12:45 PM

$800 huh?


Guess i'll go with the Hikkata one.

speedcretin 01-26-2013 12:58 PM

yea at 800 i would say u would have got a good deal. Its alot of work. Not to mention its all done by hand. But im a firm believer that metal is better then any other way to go with this trunk so u gotta pay to play for the quality. hopefully it will look as good as it does in my head when im done :dance: keeping my fingers crossed, so far so good.

TORETTO 01-26-2013 01:11 PM

Screw it, I think I'm gonna try this out myself. time to buy a spare trunk. :bowrofl:

Only I'm not gonna make it a smooth arc, I'm gonna have it with huge jagged edges like shark teeth so nobody will tailgate me.

speedcretin 01-26-2013 01:56 PM

hahahhahahahaha that would look cool. all spikes! do it! you wont!
