i wudnt like it if it was raised out all the time i think it looks a lot better when its dropped down, but the motorisation is a neat touch!! and it all looks pretty smooth in operation!!
get couple of servos and then design the mechanism yourself if its just something simple youre after, i would say plenty could give ti a go but pulling it off is tha hard part. id happily give it some thought but ive far too much on right now with work etc
with enuff time an play at it its possible, but gettin a nice smooth operation is wat ur up against easiest way is by pneumatic or hydraulic with jus electronic controls an switches but its not cheap and not particularly lightweight either, altho it wud look rather splendid
seems to be all too common in the US wit fek all really done on it over ere
i would use an electric ram type device, seems to be very popular too. although its taking the time for something so flashy it would be hard to make it sound excellent too.
it can sometimes be a comprimise with these things
problem with an arm is youre limited by the stroke of the arm itself. with a belt you just keep on screwing till it gets where u want it be a nice smooth motion too
I work with stepper motors in work. About £200 would see the electronics and the beltgear to lift a panel up. need to gear up the torque for lifting amps up etc

Get the mechanism for the likes of the new VW or Lexus bootlids which are mechanically opened for you (the ultimate height of laze, but i guess these upper class folk couldnt get their fingers dirty closing it if they havent sent their PA to the car wash with it).
Attach your amp rack to the inner skin of the bootlid using a bit of 8 guage power cable or the likes to make it look 'in-fitting' and thus, it opens with the lid.
Or attach it directly to an amp rack and keep your manual labour bootlid.
Id say youd ebay or scrapyard find one for well under the aforementioned £200 given time.
I never got to see the install very much but I did Judge it for SQ on a few occasions when Simon was competing with it. He has since moved on to an old Mini Estate. It's really cool and is supposed to sounds pretty awesome too. Haven't heard it yet though
He's a good lad - really likes building everything himself and likes to make it a bit different from the 'norm'
