Ok, so I just bought a 91 hatchback that is almost perfect except the hatch has had it. The previous owner just started to patch up the rust when I bought it, and didn't finish. But,..I'm of the mindset that bondo should be used for speaker boxes,...not for my car exterior....

So, what are my options? I ask this because I'm aware I can get one in OK condition ( I prefer no spoiler!) from a basic 240 that is wrecked...or maybe one of you guys have one...but I also saw a wicked carbon fiber one sitting on Enjuku racing website...so I wanted to get your opinion. Thanks!

if you can afford it get the carbon fiber, if not, then just get one from a wreck like you said.

If you get a Carbon Fiber hatch do you have to get a lexan hatch window?

I dont see the need for a carbon fiber hatch, but its all weight reduction (and good cause the 240 is a heavy *** car for the power it makes).

a junk hatch should be easy to find and not cost too much.
