if this is what you are talking about.
BUT you can buy the stuff at home depot for like $10 and do it yourself.

i believe its called either a suicide trunk or a flip trunk kit...basically its a hinge that connects to the trunk lid and the actual trunk hinges

I seen a guy take some piano hinges from home Depot and do the same thing, about 5 bucks and adn 5 minutes and he was done. They basically mount to the existing hinges and the mounts on the trunk to make it swing differently. A few minutes of brainstorming and you'll figure it out

I had this setup 3 years ago on my Civic. I spent like $8 at Home Depot. You have to use something to resecure the trunk lid to the stock hindges, I just put the stock back bolts back in. If you dont do this, the trunk will leak at the base of the windshield.

all u have to use are cabinet hinges and you can put in a slide pin on each side to make it easier to close. my buddy spent 20 bones for a kit from ebay and we could have done it for like 10 from the hardware store

There's a guy that shows how to do the suicide/flip flop trunk and reverse hood and some other shit by yourself for cheap. Shave your door handles, do suicide doors, blah blah. I think it's stock2shock.com He says it costs $5-10 to do the trunk. $5-10 to do the reverse hood. Blah blah. But I don't know if you want to spend $15 to get all of the manuals.
