The thing i hate most about the coupe is the trunk with the old school trunk struts. I really like the new cars now with the trunks that use mechanics rather than hydraulics to lift the trunk. here is an example, its an accord.



has anyone tried modifying the trunk to use this kinda mechanism?

you would need to get appropriate hinges and weld or bolt them somewhere inside trunk area and completely eliminate stock hinges.

There is a system offered by company called autoloc. Pretty sure its spring loaded. There is also a universal trunk set for hondas that opens up and slightly back and operates based on a shock/strut system.

i think the dampers look better.

i checked out there website and i cant really tell how the springs or whatever system they have works. seems like its just a replacement of the hinge.

its not really looks that i dont like. it just seems you get alot more resistance opening and closing with dampers. its kinda the only thing that makes the car feel older model. well, in my opinion anyway.

Maybe if you replace them with new ones it will be smoother, i know mine are shot and don't even pop up anymore when i pull the lever anymore, im planning on replacing them too because i hate how its not smooth

actually mine were shot too. replaced them about a month ago. i got mine from amazon for pretty cheap if your in the market for some. before i replaced them it would be so hard to open it, now that they are new they just pop right up but now its hard to close. you just cant win with these.
