DIY Tricked Trunk!!!!!!!!

Wussup fellow 7thgen members.......

I just paid for the instructions for the tricked out trunk auctions on EBAY.....
I will recieve the instructions by Sunday or Monday.....

And when i try it out and it ACTUALLY WORKS..... I will do everyone here a favor
and post a DIY straight from the instructions (with a little modification if nessecary)

So be patient my fellow 7thgen members.... for I will make tricked out trunks free for everyone.

<< Where has everyones creativity gone??? >>


Just so you know not EVERYBODY wants to copy your idea, infact I don't really like it. And if somebody likes your trunk design and would like it on thier car, why don't you be a pal and help them out at least.

I have to agree with Phillipe. Turtle, your "bad *** tricked trunk" isn't that fantastic. It's not like you invented the light bulb or something. Don't be a stingy sh.it and actually share some ideas, that's what this forum is for. And if you don't want to share, don't sit and flaunt your sh.it. If anybody put some time into it he or she could probably figure it out. They just don't want to go to the trouble. So you're not god for figuring some little thing like that out, but you could surely save some ppl some time by telling them how to do it, in detail. By the way, I'm not trying to flame you, just expressing my opinions. And yeah, your trunk looks kinda cool, a little too useless for me though.

Hey wussup.....

Instructions gonna take a little longer than i expected, there has been a slight Paypal
situation [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Anyways, sorry Turtle. I don't mean to spread around your trink trunk idea. I know you've
spent alot of time cumming up with it for ur car. But i believe that once an idea is made and done,
it should be shared.

Hopefully i get the instructions by tomorrow (Monday).

Then its not cool anymore

First off, I never said, or notioned, that I am "god" for doing this. I didnt invent this idea, and neither did I say I did. I have seen two cars with it, one at NOPI Nats and one in a mag. They magazine didnt tell me how to do it. I figured it out MYSELF. I didnt have someone holding my hand and telling me every detail. If you don't like the idea, that your opinion. You know, opinions are like a$$holes. I did make a quick DIY. It was only meant to get the ball rolling for you to go with it. At first I was kinda planning on making a full DIY, then I say how people were beening about me taking my time on making one. Thats when I changed my mind. Like Neo said. I don't want everyone having this on there car. If you really want it on your car, figure the rest out yourself. Or wait till this gut puts up some other ball rolling list for yo to go by.

Importspd, just click Turtle in sig and look at the third pic
