Hey Vert Guys,

Need some advice on the trunklid non-luggage rack install. i picked up a trunklid from a coupe. Thank GOD finally junking the luggage rack!!! i was wondering what is the easiest way to Jerri-rig it up to work-Being the coupe uses different trunk arms than our vert trunk arms.
Can you guys tell me what you did, so i dont have to map out a plan of attack , I hate trying to re-create the wheel-When its been done before.

Many Thanks-Anthony

They are the same lids as you know but I had to drill out the new trunk lid I got so the hinges would work for the vert. Its kind of a pita but just take your time lining up the lid and then finding where to drill the holes.

Thanks Silver-fox!!!

Let me ask you this,

Can you use the same holes on the underside of the trunklid where the hinges from the coupe would have gone without having to line those up???
i know-You have to drill holes for the topside-for the latches, I meant the underside hinges....

Thanks again!
