This.

You will have better luck finding the hinges/mounts there, and making them work for your application.

So when you haz models without your permission on the trunk, you can hit the button, and catapult them.

Edit: Or at least they might slide off, and not cave in the roof/windshield/hood.

And if you stand properly, you can hit the button and catapult them right into your arms.

At which point, possession being 9/10ths of the law and all, they're yours.

Idk if any neon has ever had the trunk catapult mod yet. Probably going to be plenty of fab work or making kits designed for other cars work.

That would be a big custom job. No one has done it to a neon (i think) so you'll probably wont find alot of help on the internet. Get some hinges and start wielding. Imo not worth it, and its rice
