Good concept, but something doesn't feel right. Maybe the the blocked view through the rear-side windows

Hey, that reminds me of something...


The Mariah hatch kit for 79-85 RX-7's. It looks funny on them, and it looks funny on CRX's too.

Well it wont block you view as much as one would think.. we built this with a mind set of making sure it wouldn't mess up your blind spots even more.

And fastasscrx its definatly heavier then your fiberglass hatch, in that picture, but this is the prototype and the final product once done will be in carbon fiber which is lighter then the fiberglass...

Really good idea. Gives it a little of the del sol look to. You should add a built in spoiler/wing to the back of it so the rear has a little feel of connection and not it looking like there is just a chunk cut out.

You mean the picture I posted? That's a completely different chassis...

I bet it screws with the aerodynamics.

I kinda like it! Maybe add a small subtle wing, and it would look like an NSX...

That could be pretty cool if it was done right n' shit. It does kind of feel like it's missing something though...
