I have seen a few pics of that before but not molded to the body. It looked the exact same but it still opened like the normal hatch. I think it looks much nicer molded in though. Anyone know where to purchase this piece? I want one

That looks pretty sweet although hard to really see any detail. Probably get more exposure in the non-technical.

just found that vid in the related vids. i think his car would look better with an original hatch imo. would be an epic car, good stance.

Rear visbility seems to be sacrificed.

There was a very similar piece available for 240Z's.
I tried one and immediately removed it because it absolutely kills your rearward vision.

The already bad b-pillar blind spot becomes gigantic with a design like this, you lose most of your peripheral vision out the rear.

Plus you lose half your cargo space and probably add a ton of drag and maybe some lift to go with it if you're real lucky. Plus it's ugly. Terrible idea on all counts.
