you need some window tint! it looks so wrong and awesome at the same time!!

how does it feel driving it? have you tried using all that space?

JP3 sells an upgraded hatch strut they demo in this video using only one! I figure with the extra weight you could use it.

Thanks, definitely considering some tint.

Nice and quiet. About the same as ever, if I didn't know it was back there. A little hard to see behind me. Maybe more stable at California highway speed from the wing? Might be my imagination, but I was wingless before.

Haven't tried loading it up yet, but that's the plan. Take a road trip. Go to Irvine and show GReddy what I did with it. Maybe make a big deal out of seven stock this year.

Noticed that, definitely on the list to get some overcharged hatch struts, and @JP3 Motorsports is one of my favorite vendors.

As an aside, found out it's make of polycarbonate and not fiberglass. Wasn't sure about the above, but from the body shop and I could tell it is accurate..

Ah, that was me.
