Default Anyone seen this kind of trunk lid before?

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/483828

A little above half the page is a good pic of it. Vented hood with the brake light right above it. I dont know about you fellers but I think it looks badass. Guy doesnt have a email wrote on his site or anyway to contact him to ask.

Anyways, anyone ever seen someone or a web site that sells those trunks? would be nice..

um yeah. cut louvers in a trunk, then wonder why the car smells like *** in the hot summer after a rain storm. louvers have been around forever. they liik good in some cases, but i.m.o. not on that car. and i dont hink it is a trunk you can buy. putting louvers in is a dying artform. any streetrod shop should be able to do it.

p.s. lets put new pitons, pins, and rods on the dirty floor for pics.

For a daily driver, i wouldn't do it. But for a show car it looks really nice.

Hmm I always thought louvers were the little raised vents on hot rods and such. That just looks like holes cut in the trunk. JUst take it to a body shop. You may have to repaint the trunk if the cutting messes up the paint.

Yes, that definately looks like a daily driver instead of a show car O.O
