I was wondering what everyone thought of the "new" notchback hatch? I think it might look good painted with the color of the car. What do you guys think? I want to loose all that weight, but Im not sure about lexan. What is your opinion?Oh, and if anyone has more photos, feel free to post them.

 

what i would do if i had it on my car. was i woulda had something custom made. so the entire hatch doesnt open. so its more of a trunk rather than a hatch. so the actual "notch" of the car is part of the entire body

 

like this

 

anybody have opinions on whether that would look good or not?

 

fyi, that's the hatch made by g&t fiberglass (formerly gt auto) and most of the people on this board don't like it.

 

Don't like it is an understatement with me. I hate it. Absolutely can't stand the look. From the side its got the same profile as the glass hatch! I say if your gonna go notchback go look for an original, or find a reproduction/aftermarket one thats closer to the factory notchback look. The birds just look so darn cool when the back drops off like well....a notchback. ^_^

Here's the important thing. If YOU like it then buy it. I won't flame you if you do, but you did ask for our opinions. Go for it if you like the hatch, thats all that really matters in the end anyways.

 

Personally I do not like the look. I think it's too "look at me, I almost have a Testarossa!".

Although I have definately seen much worse mods out there.

 

Here is a thread on the new notch Bruce is working on! It is very close to the factory version. Closest I have ever seen...

Hope this helps!

 

If I ever had that on my car, I would drive it off a cliff. End of that story!

 

That style only looks good on vettes. Of course that opinion has nothing to do with me owning one

 

Factory notchbacks look far better IMHO.
