Do they all have that gap under the reverse lights?

 

Looks great man.

Need to go a little lower I think....

 

i almost wanna do a reverse light delete, that will cure my problems

 

^Well, Blain did a reverse delete... but it wasn't on a Hikkatadori Trunk... so you would be the first with that.

 

in So Cal, land of Larry H Parker amberlamps chasers... I think it will create more problems, not cure them

 

The only problem with recessing circle shaped reverse lights into the trunk is that you would have to be careful it didn't end up looking like a Lexus.

 

i can always mold my tail lights in like this really cool guy that I know

then I can make my own line. Too bad I'm too broke for that.

 

^What "really cool guy" has molded taillights???? Only person I know with them is Mike

 

Next time I see that G... Imma tear that *** apart!!!

 

yeah that would be a disaster... you will b a douchbag to make the tail lights look like a lexus

But actually if you used only the circle part it would be small enough to camouflage with dusted body color... even ifbleft white it would be barely noticeable (until lit in reverse)

 

I saw someone at a car show one time that had their reverse lights completely shaved (don't remember what kind of car... not a G though)

They put a pair of lights inside by the 3rd brake light. Clean looking install from the inside, and well obscured by the tint from the outside.
The guy said a cop questioned him about the lack of reverse lights one time and he showed he did indeed have them he got off with no problem.

 

Wanted to let you guys know the stricker method DOES work. It already allows for some side to side movement, and for up/down movement, i just slightly elongated the bottom of the 2 bolts. I just carved away at it a bit--no dremel necessary here.

Bottom line is when you adjust 1 side, the other changes as well, and if you try to bring it down too much, the lid ends up "sinking" when you look at the lines on the top. I think i found a happy medium so i'm gonna put this to rest. Compared to some of the other aftermarket G/Z/Evo trunks i've seen recently, the fitment is not that bad. (Plus--since i'm OB its all less noticeable )

 

^Your name isn't Kevin is it?

Edit... nevermind... You looked A LOT like someone I used to know from Chicago in the reflection... but then I found better pics. You're not him

 

hey Chicago that looks great. I had a secret guest over at my moms house last night helping me work on the trunk. We lowered the striker and it worked like a charm. Also took off both shocks on the lid, figured I don't need it anymore. We got it to line up pretty well, I like this trunk a lot right now! LOL

 

cool, PICS.
