ur gonna need:
Drill
(2) 3" strap hinges (Triangle shape)
(2) 2 inch deadbolts
1/4 inch strap nails
(1) friend to hold trunk
1. Take off top deck lid cover.
2. bolt off hinge on driver side, and place 3" strap hinge behind the hold bar. You should be able to put it in place and mark the hinge on the trunk inself. (Redo to passenger side)
3. Take off trunk lid completely and bolt down the hinges the the trunk itself.
4. Next is to put the trunk back on and mark where the bottom of the hinge should screw on to the arm hinge on the car. Once you mark that you should be unleveled because the head of the screw is bothering the hinge, so you need to drill into the trunk so that the screws can clear the hinge flush. (at this time, the trunk should flop)
5. The deadbolt is so that the trunk does not ALWAYS flop. The bolt will go horizontal on the trunk. Place the bolt on the lid and mark where it should lock into. Drill the hole for the deadbolt on the arm hinge from the car and lock deadbolt. (do to both sides). Once that is done, your trunk should be stock looking. Make sure the trunk closes because you might need to make minor adjustments.
6. You should be able to lock and unlock the trunk now and show off the "suicide" look or stock look when wanted. But you have not place the cover back on. For the cover itself, I just cut out the area that was block my path, and painted everything in that area in black. If you want you can cut a line down the middle but I had custom interior and it was quite harder.
for RED, I suggest that since ur gonna do suede, why dont do it on the trunk and the trunk lid in the back as well... holla
