Yeah, I'm pretty sure Mariah is the only place that sells them, at least in the United States.

That picture in the OP, it looks to be a RX7, right? It's wild looking, not sure if I'm a fan of those tail lights but I'll def give the guy credit for originality

Why would you want to get rid of the hatch? You'd lose a ton of storage space, thats for sure.

It's also a BIG low pressure zone. I doubt much if any weight is saved.
