Looking into a Notchback hatch..

I find a notchback hatch pretty appealing. Its about a 60-40 split between that and the original hatch. Is HAWKS the only notchback seller? It's pretty freaking expensive from them. When I google, I just get results of the 88 GTA notchback.

Re: Looking into a Notchback hatch..

The other issue with doing the notchback hatch is the back window. IF you can find one, please let me know. My glass shop has been searching for a month with no luck.

Re: Looking into a Notchback hatch..

Really?? That blows. I might as well get some window louvers and pack this idea away huh? I really really like the look though. I was actually thinking of forking out the $700+ bones for it. Wonder how much freight would be.
I just reread the description and it does come with back glass.

Re: Looking into a Notchback hatch..

I have one with a rear window Id let go for $400. I've had it for a while but it is new (never installed or painted) it was purchased from Motion Performance about 15 years ago.
