Default Help finding a product

I have an 03 z06, and just like many others with FRCs, I hate that the trunk lid doesn't pop open far enough to get my fingers under unless I slam the door shut after popping the trunk. The springs that some people use to get the lid to come up higher are, in my opinion, very tacky. I once found an alternative to the springs on a web site, but I can't remember the site. It was an entire assembly that replaced the factory latch, with a stiffer spring inside. If anyone knows where I can find this product, I would really appreciate it if you would PM me the link.

Moderators: I haven't seen any forum vendors selling similar products. If someone posts a link to a non-forum vendor in this thread rather than PMing me, please do not remove the link. You can't say that it's stealing business from a forum vendor if they don't offer that product.

Default Tacky

Yep, I agree, last time I rode around inside my trunk, that dang spring really bugged the heck out of me!

MagRedConv - The only results I see for "trunk popper" are the springs. What I'm talking about was a replacement for the latch that's attached to the back wall and covered in carpet.

RSchleder - Why wash anything but the hood of your car? It's all you see while driving anyways, right?
