it all actually depends on where you choose yrou mounting points.

having it totally contained under the rear deck forces you to buy short throw superhigh power struts, and limits the max height of the lid.

I epersonally chose to get long throw weaker struts, more manageable, and i could mount them to the trunk floor, better leverage.

but some people feel they get in the way. so its really just personal preference

What advantage do trunk struts have?

no torsion bars in the way of "x" , where x is something you wanna do but they are in the way.

and also you can easily add a strong enough arm that lifts the lid fully automatically
its great when you have remote trunk pop.

Any way to put a trunk pop in and still use a "stock" looking system? There's no auxiliary button on the Civic keyfob.

what do you mean, gregg? a trunk pop is the latch mechanism, the airstruts concern the torsion bars that support yoru trunklid in position.....

Yeah, looks like I mistyped. I want to know if I could put in an automatic remote trunk pop and still use a stock looking keyfob.

unfortunately, only if you have the channels to support one. if your keyfob only has lock unlock, no go. youd have to get an aftermarket system with a stock looking keyfob, or i dont know if you cna get an upgraded security system, like out f a 2000 accord EX or something, and then upgrade to that keyfob as well (not to menthion trunk latch while we are at it)
