I hate the factory notchbacks like the one on ebay.

The aftermarket one that has the longer sail panels or whatever you call them looks 10x better...

The only bad thing about the notch back is that you lose interior space, other than that the hatch is great. It saves weight cause it loses the heavy glass. You do lose rear visibility cause the little peephole in the notchback is ridiculous. I, personally, don't like it.

Warning; Newb resurrecting old posts.

Seems like elminating all that glass might slightly reduce interior temps when it, say... sits in a hot parking lot or summin?

And I agree, the one from the banner looks better than stock.

I think that the factory notch is SO much better than GT Auto's.

Yuck. From the side, it just looks like the origonal glass. IMO, the whole point of the notch back is to redefine the body lines... If GTAuto made a factory repo, Id buy it in a second!

I want one of those things I think they are cool looking. I have a couple questions though. I was wondering if they weigh about the same as the glass. I would also like to think that they would keep the heat of the interior down a little since they would let less light in.
