Thanks...love the Contempos or hate them, they are different. And I may have the only GT version left (with the big wing and the front spoiler)

Did you decide to keep the hatch or sell it? I'm actually looking for one

That was almost 3 years ago. But I do kinda like it as well though.

Re: honest opinions on this hatch

I think the concept is interesting., Not something I would leave on my car.

Re: honest opinions on this hatch

Huh, must have missed this thread. It doesn't look bad if painted like the second one. The overhang looks to keep the window out of the sun.
Edit: Now I noticed that the second one is different than the first one posted. Name:  thinkin.png

Either way, easy enough to swap out if you have two painted the same.

Re: honest opinions on this hatch

I do like the one on the white car the best. The OP hatch and the white one seem to hang back a bit and retain the back seat. The hawks hatch makes the back seats inaccessible.

Re: honest opinions on this hatch

I actually think the first one looks cool, It must be lighter than the huge piece of glass.

True but the rear isn't where you want to do weight reduction in a front engine mounted car.
