I agree, then again I never get groceries in this car, and the "weight" I added was about 5ish lbs. I saved more weight removing my rusty spare tire. All in all, I think it looks cool enough to keep back there.

EDIT: Plus it makes a great place to mount a camera

Exactly and it does not hurt being there at all.

Looks good Stu. Not all mods done are just performance ones. Looks can be a good mod also. But the camera mount idea works for me

Sorry guys, but that's too low for a camera mount, you won't be able to see very much...

I took an L bracket and a long piece of steel and taped my camera up there. Took me 10 minutes (and it shows). I need to get more stability in it as it lays on the rear seats. Also, I can angle it higher, but I did not tighen the clamp down enough and it drooped on the seat. I need to go back to home depot to finish up a design I have lying around here.
