this hatch would be pretty freaking sweet if it wasn't for the total faggotry of the tailgait. there is no excuse for such a hideous modification.

it probably is but it looks the same as a shaved tailgate :thumbdown:

and what weight is being saved with a shaved tailgate? two tail lights, two plate lights, and a license plate?

im saying that there is an excuse, if that panel is paper thin fiberglass, saving weight on his strip car..

obviously shaving a hatch wont save weight... :roll:
