Ok so far it looks great, but theres one thing that doesnt look right, and it looks like everyone else thinks so as well. No back window. Some people suggested painting a fake back window, but that would be weird. I think i have a solution.

Two tone, black top. If you dont know what im talking about, you know how USDM Hatches come with the A pillars black, and the B pillars are glass which are basically black? The roof is the only thing color matched, and some people paint the roof black, and it looks GREAT.

EX:



You could paint the A pillars, B pillars, and the Roof of your truck black, as well as the back part where a window would be, and it would be perfect.

No wierd looking no back window deal, No wierd looking "B pillar", and btw, the wheels on that white hatch i posted would flow REALLY nice with your car.

Just a suggestion.

The white car is mine, and the wheels are Enkei RPF-1's

The truck is sick, but having a rear window would help it flow. Just looks like too much orange back there.

do a T shaped window across the top of the back and in the middle of the 2 cross bars in the back id that is even possable. but i would still do a plastic window you could make it fit the back easy and you can cut holes in it for the cage.

How about instead of a back window, you just get it running.

ok my thought on the back window is this ITS A DRIFT TRUCK!!!!!!! when you drift do you look behind you? NO!! correct me if im wrong ed but this is not going on the street. so thats my thought but we should just let ED do what he wants to do and just let it go.

eds less than an hour from me, so unless you have a big *** bottle of NOS i think youll be very lucky to make it in 5 hrs or less

seriously, ed if you decide to call it quits on the CA, i could use its shortblock for the s12. lmk
