Custom R33 Boot Help

[Fryday13]

Right for starters I currently have my 2 door GTS25 R33 without a spoiler so the boot is sitting low. Im really not a huge fan of spoilers allthough I understand the benefits they can give. What I do want to do its essentially slope the sides of the boot lid so that they come up to reach the side of the rear quarters. The photo I have added is of a WRX Boot lid and is essentially what I want my boot lid to look like so the sides slant up. What I am looking for however is tips on how people think they would do this themselves? looking for some sound advice because as much as I have access to spare r33 bootlids I'd be happy to get it right first time.

My original thought was stagger duck tape to get the right slant and height then bondo the shape and sand it in, So you may see why I need help.

Cheers

fab up some metal to weld in place... skim with filler, primer fill, sand & have painted...

why not just get a flush boot lid, soo much less hassle.

in my opinion what you are trying to do will look like ass. You could also just get a drift lip and have it all moulded in, would be far easier and cheaper and i think it would look a whole lot better

I'll admit I hadn't thought about welding in metal but wont that weigh several tonnes? Would be easier to get accurate though.

Ha I may be hard to please but the straight flush boot just looks . . . odd to me. So I thought I'd have my hand at something a little different, I considered getting a Drift lip and chopping out the middle and moulding that in but I didnt want to ruin a perfectly good spoiler.

I may at the moment be able to get me a cheapo boot lid though so dependant on that I may mock it up and see how it looks, I reckon itd be good to have something different

I'm no good with this so I'm not sure how you're gonna do it but I reckon go for it man! Originality is one of a kind ;p Sounds like what you're going for is awesome

Haha cheers man, budget has taken a turn for the . . well not best. But as soon as I find headway with this I'll chuck up where I'm at

Buy the stealth spoiler and cut the rear section off then mould it into the boot.

Will take a bit of mucking around but would be the easiest way to do it

Tonnes? You should add no more than 5 kilos depending how much fabricating you want to do. Its only aluminium after all.

Touche, I'm currently searching around for a a welder I can borrow for said jobby, but if it gets to hard then Drift lip may have to be the basis of my work. Sketched it up with light cardboard a while ago but forgot to take photos, But when the weather shines up I'll do it again so people can see what I'm aiming for more clearly.
