Elec. trunkopener Re: IML: Imperial Options Ahead of Their Time

["Rev. Baroonstein" <baroon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I love it.. I just added  a power trunkrelease to my car, it just bolted
right in. The powerbucket is also great although it took some blood, sweat
and tears to figure out taht reliable operation needed a good ground. hehe.

The remote trunkrelease was a lifesaver, I typically get in, start the car,
then I need to kill the car to use the key to open the trunk for stowing the
carcover. Now I don't have to, a little switch and "thunk" the trunk pops
open.

Another item that seems to amaze people is the simplicity of some of the
controls, like 6-way power seats operated entirely by a simple star-shaped
