its like the twin 240's that drift, you know the orange ones.. one was originally a hatch, but they cut it off (even more so then this one) so it looks like a nascar pickup racer kinda. you know the ones Im talking about right?

I've seen something similar for a camaro, they called it the Del Sol conversion. They also have one that looks like a cap for a truck bed. Not saying I like it but that is an option whith some HB's.

i wonder if it creates alot of turbulence going onto that spoiler. has anyone ever tried taping smoke bombs to the bumper and driving in another car to watch the aerodynamics of it?

you have to follow a car with the smoke bombs attached to its bumper, and it will work but you cant see anything..

if you want weight savings, just get a carbon hatch with lexan. Aerodynamics wise, that is probably terrible because sharp drops like that create a great deal of turbulence.

vengence, sophmore science was last year and you dont leanr much about aerodynamics when youre talking about anatomies and such haha. it was more of a "hey i wonder if this could work..." ideas, not that i would do it.
