Well i have a non-notch GTA and i think the notch looks great. I wanted one but they were all WAAAAAY out of my price range. It just makes the GTA that much more unique.

I have an '88 notchback GTA even though I've always hated them.

From my experience it seems people either like them or hate them. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground.

Re: Notch Back You a fan or not???

I have one from hawks, and while the fit wasn't great, I weighs a lot less.
Like 70lbs of glass less.

Re: Notch Back You a fan or not???

I bought a fiberglass one for my 89 camaro, but didn't like how it looked on the car. I'm going to put it back up for sell when I get back from Iraq.
