I now have one on my 86 T/A. I found it at the boneyard for about 39.00. My son and I are sanding it down and have it mostly fitted so far.

Yep , that Notchback does make the F Body Camaro Look More Meaner . Does anyone have any Pics of the Notchback on a 3RD Gen. Pontiac Trans Am or Formula ? Just Wondering what it would Look Like on One of Them .

I liked mine but I had problems with it leaking on my backseats so I sold it. My buddy has an original notchback GTA and he is having some problems with his rear window trim and can not find replacments just a heads up on some of the drawbacks. However if you like the look it is worth the creativity to work out the problems

i had one one one of my irocs. form aerotech styling, the notchback the was fashioned after the ferrari testarossa . it also leaked. but with a tube of black silicone i fixed it. was definitely an attention getter.

The regular backseats don't interfere with it, but I haven't really tried to sit back there... the original had headreasts installed... The mount for the strut is a couple inches lower in the car.

He sounds like a crook to me. I also emailed the high bidder the notch wasnt factory. At least he has some chance then of not getting scammed

Whats really sad is I want one.. But the shipping on that one would be more than the notchback itself..

Ehh well I am getting a good deal on it and I would rather not see it end up in the trash. My hatches were both shipped to me. The first one came cracked, broken by the shipper. I dont know enough about fiberglass yet to fix it, but I dont want to get rid of it so I never used that one. The second one is on my 88 but i am junking the car and wont go on my 91 until I am ready to paint it. My friend is debating on buying it from me but he isnt sure he wants it on the Camaro. It doesnt sound like it has the glass though, so if I want to use it I would have to get it custom cut
