Default Trunk Popper Praise

Just installed my C5 Trunk Popper and it's great! Now my trunk opens everytime. Such an easy and obvious fix to such an irritating problem; and so cheap (no Vette tax!). $15 and one more thing to cross off the wish list.
Anyone else using one?
Thanks to Barry at http://www.C5TrunkPopper.com/

Need one. Was pointed to it last week after posting same issue with my 02 Z06. On the list, just hasn't gotten to the top yet.

Best $15 I ever spent on the Vette except for the hood seal that gave me an extra 15hp.

Yup, good stuff. It's real nice to pop the trunk and have enough room for my fat fingers. David

I just got mine yesterday, put it on today. Great product! I really never noticed how annoying it is when the trunk doesn't pop up all the way until I heard about this Trunk Popper. Such a simple add-on but makes a huge difference.
