But pray do tell, for the love of god, how you installed the lexan onto the hatch.

hahah, i havnt yet, i may be doing that today..... I plan to use black rtv silicone sealant all around and then use a series of countersunk flat-head bolts to make sure it stays in place at speed. That plan may change as I get into it :-)

Whoa, I wouldn't use a hatch that fit that poorly...the height gaps, the tail light gaps, it all looks pretty poor to me. Was the car ever hit from behind? Anything adjustments you can make for better fitment?

It splintered the paint, and I started to take more of it off and think I'm going solid now that I have 99 spec body parts on and look like a clown car with 5 different colors.

Lexan is polycarbonate. A very soft plastic. So, the answer to "how scratch resistant is the lexan anyway?" is it isn't. But it is easy to polish out scratches. It can also be "coated" to enhance scratch resistance. I've had no problems with scratches on lexan helmet visors - but they may have been coated - I hope so for the price I paid! 
Nice thing about Lexan is it bends a lot before it breaks. In fact it's hard to actually crack.
