Two things here..

First of all, FCs pretty well kissed there gas milage goodbye when they were created...

Secondly, why would that hurt gas milage? There is no more wind restriction there then on a standard hatch...

 

With a rear hatch like that, your side rear blind spots would become about 2.5x bigger . .

 

LOL, good point. You'd need trailer mirrors from a truck.

 

go truck mirrors!!!...
it's the newest fad (~_^);;;
yea blind spots would increase, but i look out the window anyway...
the FD hatch looks rather strange :-P
but hey, it's a concept.
yea, gas milage? for an FC? for a rotary engine? who are you kidding?... lol

 

The air flow going over the roof would drop off dramatically, think of it now as having two rear ends that the air gets f'ed up at. The more drag there is, the less mpg's you see.

 

Actually if you want to eliminate blind spots switch over to the RE aero mirrors. they hug up aginst the car and work really well, just take some time to get used to

 

really?
guess I'll be getting them!

 

RE aero mirrors are on my wishlist!!

 

wow look at those blind spots. thats a good way to kill a motorcycle rider

 

Here is a shot of the mirrors that im talking about on my old TII. Now belongs to some one else on the forum but you get the Idea

 

wow they sure look funny from the side. I like them fron the fron tho!

 

i'll stick to my "stock" color matched aero mirrors :-P

 

anyone with anymore info on the hatches?
anyone else interested?

 

it wouldn't look bad.

But not with the paintjob u showed

 

bah i know... it was just a quick job in paint brush ^_^;;
i just didnt want to do it in one solid color makes it harder to see

 

now that i have MYcompy back i'm gona redit in photoshop and actually make it look good :-P
