1st gen rear lid mod
Has anyone ever seen a replacement for the rear window that had a small vertical window and low section behind it - sorta like the old Porsche 904, or the 1st gen Toyota MR2? I saw something like that on a Camaro once; looked horrible - but the concept is cool, and imagine the weight savings!

yeah theyve got em, looks too el caminoish to me though, and then you wouldnt have a hatch anymore. i forgot the name of that place with the fb body kits and wings and crap, cause thy all look pretty bad, but somebody should give you the name of the place. well i like the stock wing a little, just havent found one cheap enough yet

Design compromise? WTF? 
That hatch has to be the worst body mod I've ever seen done to an Rx-7 and they have the nerve to call the stock hatch a design compromise. 
This precision molded rear hatch is beautifully sculpted to continue the RX-7s flowing roofline down the rear deck. It resolves the RX-7s greatest design comprimise, the original rear glass and quarter windows.

I think it looks pretty cool. However, while I've had my car on the road recently, I've really noticed how much visibility you get through the normal hatch. I would hate to lose that.

Yeah, they say that the hatch is a design flaw and kills the aerodynamics of the car and than they slap a huge-*** thick-*** spoiler on it that bends downward? They stupid. Why I speek like this?
