Smartass lol. Nothing to keep it open? (other than your hands lol). Is there a somewhat easy way you can attach brackets for the shocks on it?

So what are you going to do to keep the hatch up while your in the trunk? I was under the impression that they came with mounting points for the shocks, I guess not.

I can't remember the last time I actually used my trunk for something other than storage of parts. The car doesn't have A/C, PS, ABS, radio, adjustable seats, etc...
I think I can live without the hatch shocks for a bit.

So can you use the factory hatch interior pieces? and do you need truck pins or does it have a latch?

No hatch shocks!

I have abs,ps, Alpine tuner, ice cold ac and all the creature comforts while still doing 12s. Much like Porsches and Vettes. I never found much pleasure on old style hot rods.

Installed the hatch on my car today. Fits perfect. Mine came with the mounts for the mighty lifts (Shocks).

damn it, now I want one. Whoever installs it with the stock glass, report back about whistling at speed, hi speeds, etc, if it lifts any. I'm sure it might with the windows down and the air rushing from the inside to the back, but what about, windows up at 80 to 100?
Also let us know if you have a wing as well since that might help keep it from whistling.

We own race cars. They're supposed to raddle and make loud noises.
