I bought this off eBay, not sure of the brand but it opens up underneath the seat versus having to pop up the seat. Much more convenient & has adequate space. I'd never seen this set up before but like how it installed & like how it works.

im gettin this one for christmas

http://www.flashalert.com/f2f3trunk.htm

 

what happens if the batery die and u can get the seat??i was going to get one but i though of that

 

I agree, plus I've heard a bunch of stories of the seloniods failing. That's why I like the one I installed, it's a mechanical latch w/ a keyed lock, and the latch is super tough, no chance of it just popping open...plus I'm doing a solo tail so the other kind wouldn't work anyway.

 

how does your undertail trunk mount? I saw one simialr on Ebay for about 420, but I'm worried it won't fit properly. I defintiely need some kind of trunk though. can you somehow post larger pics? i tried clicking on your pics and enlarging them, but for some reason they stay the same size. How much was your trunk kit and is it specifed for pre-97 F3 tails?? thanks!

 

i put it on today and if the battery dies u can just take off the side fairings and push the solenoid in with a screwdriver or something and lift the seat out. its rly no more of a hassle if not easier if your battery dies because you dont need a wrench to undo the bolts

 

I hope these turn out bigger for you....






I only paid $20 or so on eBay for my kit. Not sure of the brand but it replaces the plastic in the tail (factory license plate holder, under seat, etc.). I had to remove the rear fairings & seat, cut out the stock plastic & the trunk mounts underneath the rear subframe via factory bolts. It's pretty cool & I'd never seen it before. However, there was another one on eBay last week for '97-98 F3's that was brand new. I don't recall the brand name but did at the time try to find more info with no luck.
