Trunk Mods

04-17-2005, 08:37 PM

i was looking on ebay, becuase thats the easyest place for me to find stuff right now, and i came accross THIS and i was wondering if anyone had this done to their alero's and what they thought. Mostly i was concerned that it would rattle or something like that. Also the auction came with a preformance ship so it sounds like a good deal.

Horsepower Engineered Suicide Trunk Kit. Adds 10 horsepower. YAy!!
Don't buy that kit. All you need is a grinder. It takes 10 - 15 minutes.

I don't think its played out. I did it to my trunk and I like the look of it. but to each his own i guess.

lol! a trunk adds horsepower? wtf

from what i have read in the past...i have thought of doing this myself...and i have read that the trunk kits warp your trunk and you cant ever get it looking normal again. iv seen pics on the site and i just looked but i couldnt find a link for you. in my opinion i would not do this mod but if you want to take the risk you can.

Ask SIlent, he did it. Apparently it leaks and it never lines up right again.

lol....we should ask silent if he is making any money off of these chumps.

I've heard that it leaks and doesn't line up well, like someone up ^^ there said.

FantomForceCustoms02 · 04-18-2005, 01:13 PM

Mine never leaks and it is a little difficult to line up. you gotta to do it 2 or 3 times to line it up right. But you get the hang of it the more you flip your trunk. I made some marks on the trunk to help me line it up better.

alero_ecotec · 04-18-2005, 09:26 PM

well, there's your active member chief
