Disclaimer:

All trunks and hatches are designed as aftermarket accessories intended exclusively for off-road and show use. ModeloDrive assumes no responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from the use of these products. Due to the nature of fiberglass and the manufacturing processes involved, ModeloDrive trunks and hatches are not “direct bolt-on” parts. They may require additional preparation, such as sanding, shaving, filling gaps, or other custom bodywork. Installation may also involve modifications to vehicle components to properly fit the new trunk or hatch.

When transplanting the locking mechanism from the original trunk, you will need to drill holes and add fiberglass reinforcement to ensure proper mounting. Proper alignment and secure installation are critical for ensuring the functionality of the lock and the durability of the trunk or hatch.

Hatches can also save additional weight by replacing the glass with a polycarbonate window, further enhancing the vehicle's performance by reducing overall weight. This option is particularly useful for racing or off-road vehicles where weight savings are crucial.

Trunks and hatches often require custom hardware, fasteners, and gaskets, which are not included and must be sourced separately to ensure proper attachment and a secure fit. Depending on the design, you may need to drill, use adhesive, install fasteners, and apply gaskets to achieve a weather-tight seal and proper alignment.

For the best results, ModeloDrive trunks and hatches are often best matched with other ModeloDrive body components, ensuring a consistent design and fitment across the vehicle. Using mismatched parts may result in fitment issues that affect the overall aesthetic and performance of the vehicle.

While trunks and hatches can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your vehicle, ModeloDrive strongly recommends professional installation by a custom shop experienced in handling fiberglass components to ensure proper fitment and safety.

ModeloDrive trunks and hatches are designed strictly for off-road and show applications. Due to stringent Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, many of these products are not street legal. ModeloDrive does not endorse or recommend the use of trunks or hatches on public roads or highways.
