Don't forget to buy a #155 spring, crush one end about 1/2 way and squeeze on the male portion of the trunk latch. Trunk will pop up a little when you open it. Saw this on another thread. Brilliant! :clap::thumbup:

Where did you get the reflective decals? My local shops only have 1" 3M reflective tape and yours looks like one big piece but to size, which I like better.

thanks!

This reflective decal is a economical, great idea. And a lifesaver at that. Thanks! I'll get some!

i used a piece of gutter cover screen from home depot, 2 or 3 bucks. you can form it to the inside of the opening. i glued it on with goop adhesive, cause that's what i had on hand. high temp silicone would work as well.:thumbup:

Host your pictures on something like Photobucket. Copy the IMG code for the picture and paste into the body of your message.

Back to the thread: great looking and affordable mods! I need to do some of these.

Is the #155 spring the proper length also, or does it need to be trimmed so the closure is OK ?
