Trunk Deck Lid - Just a thought
Was browsing around looking at hoods today, and of course you cant get any research done on aesthetic mods without running across Z06-Jim's car (how sweet IS that thing?) and had a thought.
Has anyone considered, or actually done, a mod that reverses the hinging on the rear decklid? For some reason that thought pops up in my mind every time I see Jim's car with the lambo doors and hood up.

Hopefully it would be a good latch,,,,,,,,,, 130 or 140 plus mph can rip it right off the car if it caught air under the front lip........

So instead of scratching the back deck of the car when you were putting stuff in the back, you coulod scratch the quarter panels? There is really no metal back there to attach the hinges to anyway.
