Yep, sure does.

It uses the factory mounting bolts and works just like the normal hatch.

I noticed your car has the back seat. does that hatch take away from the head room of the back seat? a pic of the back seat with the hatch closed would be sweet

Dude, you're actually thinking about the rx7 backseat ergonomics?.... I'd say the one redeeming feature about the mariah(sp?) hatch is it decreases the interior volume of an rx7 and therefore makes it easier to hotbox ..... aye Cam.....

Cheers!...(oh and i'd never "smoke" in this car!.. :O) ..)

Here's some pics of the back seat. Sorry about the shitty camera phone pics, but I just got home from work and it's dark out.

The hatch window sits just behind the top of the rear seat, so it shouldn't cause anyone too much problems. That said, you're still only going to fit a small child in there.

The subwoofer is a 12 inch one, so you can see just how small the rear seat area is.

I'd love to get my hands on a back seat. I know they're small and virtually useless but like it.

I love the kit shifti posted, but I have always loved these as well.

Pacifica Widebody kit (same as Billy posted before, still wish he still had that car)



IMSA front end ( I have a brand new one of these sitting in a box in a storage building)





This custom one a forum memeber made. I just love this car, and the sunken bumpers and front lip look awesome.

Not the most perfect execution, but what do you guys think? I think I'm going to try to build one (and possibly make a mold to build more)
I want that airdam/duckbill for my S3, where do I find something like that?

The IMSA MARK 1 kit is not so extreme (MAKRK II is really wide). Thats my pick over stock!
