Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do it!

I don't hate it, would be interested to see more of it. I think it would look better with the original rear window, but am curious what they did with it.

I love it! ...Maybe not the rear window, but the beauty of glass. Looks like road race mixed with drag race turbo/exhaust...
I'd be curious if its an old photo or photoshop modern. Lets see it go.

If it's a custom and 13Bats doesn't like it, you'd better leave it where you found it!

Well worse has been posted on more than one occasion. The rear window and exhaust are a horror show. I too question if it's a photo shop.

I've seen the car at a local autocross once or twice. It's a turbo, hence the exhaust; I don't recall the car being particularly loud. When I saw the car it had the standard back window.

edit: OP, weren't you selling this car?

From the other post it looks like a real fun car. LS engine and a turbo... cool, my opinion on the side exhaust is hey didn't the original GM designers mimic the aircraft field and extract heat out the side like that? Plus Turbo's quiet down the exhaust and act as mufflers anyhow. If you check the other thread with the car it looks well done under the skin.


As to the back window... Could it be that the position of the fuel tank was moved to the cargo area and had to be changed to out side of the cabin. Thus a reasonable quick fix was to change the back glass and seal the tank outside of the cabin?
