Notchbacks

Has anyone bought a remaned notch for their GTA's?
If you have what feedback could you give about the installation, was alot of modification required and was it worth the money?

I'm not a huge fan of the notch back look, but the best one I've seen was made by Hawks. Wish I got a pic, but left the dang camera at home that day.

a friend of mine has an 88 GTA notchback in mint condition w/ 33,000 original miles on it....it looks pretty damn sweet. the factory notchback goes flawless with the rest of the car....i've never seen a repro one look as good.

i prefer the original notchbacks especially on birds. On a camaro they don't look very good where as the motion notchback i think looks better on the camaro. I recently got one but am thinking about getting rid of it since it's missing the brackets for the struts. I could easily fab them I just really dont feel like messing with it. It's hard to beat the stock side profile of a bird or camaro.
