I got this idea when Myself, Shamrock, and Taaf were roaming the yards last Tuesday. I picked it up out of a 99 LHS.
I found that the lid has the perfect hole where you can mount this.
It works just like it was designed.
I'm not sure if anyone else has done this yet...might be a DI.net first.
I couldn't find this in the parts cat. So I'm not sure if this is an OEM part or not. Since there was also one in a Concorde there...I'll bet its a factory part.
Looks good Gorm, every little touch makes the difference :thumbsup:

I beleive it came stock on the Concordes and LHS due to the big trunk. So I think you probably have one. I picked one up at the junker out of an LHS and looked in the Trep trunk. There was a spot to install it properly.

They're stock. I still have the one i grabbed a year ago out of a 'corde to do the same thing back when i had my '98, just never had the ambition to do it
lol, I was looking over the pics with a fine tooth comb trying to see something different, lol! I thought all LH's came with the handle. Hell I got one but never ever used it.....
i'd use it...i hate to see the dust collected on the fingerprints when someone ELSE closes my trunk... I have the preasence of mind to grab the inside and pull it down but as usual, no one else cares as much about your stuff as you.
I think this is a cool lil' mod. you did there.....it's better than leaving finger prints on the car especially when you like to have a nice and clean looking car (well I do anyways) I always grab the trunk from the inside (by the lock) and let it go down with my hand. Anyways, that's one mod. I would do too. :fun_08:
Are you and your mom THAT short that y'all can't close the trunk when it's open? I know my 11 year old daughter can close it just fine.
I think it has more to do with you always trying to get attention with every little thing you do to your car...not the mod itself. It's a friggin grab handle for cryin' out loud...not a real "cool" mod IMO, but a mod nonetheless. It's just not something most people on here seem to get real excited about. Worth starting a thread for?? I dunno....
One another note, yes, I pull the trunk down until it's only a couple inches from closing before I let it go. Even without the wing (extra weight), it would slam hard from more than that. Kind of annoying, but I've learned to live with it.

Either ya like it or ya don't. I do like it, if you don't oh well.
I started this thread because it was something different that I had done. Obviously there are members who like the idea of this mod. So yes, it was worth starting a thread over. If you don't like the idea of this mod...please move on to the next thread without leaving your two cents on why I shouldn't have posted it.
Jason: You know damn well that every thing that every one does to their LH everyone will not like. It's all about personal taste. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of it. As the saying goes: to each his own.
Obviously...but that doesn’t mean its right to say how stupid something seems.
I don't think to highly of those clear corners...but you didn't see me posting in your thread about how stupid or worthless I thought they were.
One would think myself and others people could post a thread showing members another mod did without having another member come in and bash it or hijack the thread.
Can I ask what the **** you are talking about!? Reread my post in this thread. Did I say that your little mod was "stupid" or "worthless"? Don't read into things so much, you'll be better off in life. ****...
P.S.
My clear corners were not some simple one minute mod either. It took lots of time and patience on those. Thank you very much.
it's a mod. you don't like it great. don't do it. I hadn't thought of it so i'm glad he posted it. If you have that much distaste for Gorm in the first place look for who started the post and just don't even go there. Obviously you're going to think it's "stupid" and "worthless" so just don't even go see what he's done. When you've done SO MUCH to your car you run out of ideas i'd say. He keeps findin more and more stuff to do. Is the pull handle on his top ten mods list? NO but is it post worthy. yes.
AND i'm a helluva lot more likely to be addin a pull handle to my car than completely redoing my seats ... i just don't have the cash for that again i say.. good mod
