tailgate tub?

[tthayer5]

alright, just got my z32 and im getting some body work done on it and while i was at it i was going to put the tailgate tub on it as well. however i cant find anywhere to purchase the tub. i found one site that sold it i think it was zcentre yet they wont ship to the u.s. any help finding one would be great. For anyone who is not sure what im talking about i guess the best way i can explain it is its a conversion for the hatch that makes the rear windshield vertical (or straight down).

EDIT: ok well not trying to get anyone a virus so i removed the link to the site i found it on(even though i had no problem with the site) here is a pic instead just so you know what im lookin for.

I get a virus threat when I open the link.

[tthayer5]

really? well crap i will remove the link and just post a pic.

[evildky]

so you want a deloerean style hatch?

[tthayer5]

uhh.. i want the hatch to look just like the one in the pic, how the glass is vertical and not rounded with the shape of the body, imo the delorean hatch looks nothing like that, it actually looks closer to the stock z32 hatch.

EDIT:Possibly a better pic, mayb this can help.

I think this guy customized the OEM hatch.. Its not that look different from OEM

[tthayer5]

i found many pics of it and found posts on astralian forums about it and i found one site that sells it. its called "tailgate tub" or "hatch tub" all it is, is just a part that you replace the glass in the hatch with. heres another pic of one.. im starting to think that a custom job might be the way i have to go since i cant find anywhere that sells this part in the us...

the delorean had the inset vertical rear glass, andin the 80's they started making kits for Camero's and Z's and such generically called delorean hatches as the sunk in vertical window was kinda a trademark of the deloreaan, I don't think anyone trademarked it as such (I'm sure john delorean wouldn't allow that...even form jail), much the way "scissor" doors are referred to as "lambo" doorshttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=379179

well i am well aware that alot of people in the z32 communty dislike the look of it but personally i like it and if everyone liked the same exact look then all our cars would look the same.... thats no good... lol

anway i found a site that has the part. Thanks anway. If anyones interested shoot me a pm, or message me on aim or something.

Not my style but definitely different. There are a couple companies from Europe/Australia that will ship it over if you're willing to pay

Not my style either, i don't know why someone would mess up a z's rear like that.
