I'm thinking of shaving everything off the rear hatch becuase the areo kit has a place for the rear plate. does anyone have any pics of this, and also how would i pop the hatch if i took everything off? thx

dschnurr

if your going to shave the whole hatch it would you probably just need to buy a new one. thats what most people do. either way its going to be expensive

honey0bucket

wait did you just tell him to buy a new hatch then shave it? thats how i understood it and that makes no sense at all.

there are a few people who have shaved the hatch...i'll soon be one of them. and i plan on re-routing the hatch popper to the left rear doorish. like open the door and down near the seat where the interior trim panel is, im going to rout it to that.

willlangford

ya...why would a buy a new one and THEN shave it. unless someone makes an aftermarket one that would be cool..

honey0bucket

im 99.9% sure no one makes an aftermarket shaved hatch...although that would be a neat idea..the whole glass re-attachment for the do it yourselvers would be interesting.

willangford, what kit are you getting. im looking for a rear bumper with the LP slot in it but i dont really know waht i want..throw up a picture if you can por favor.

willlangford

bn sports. www.bnsportsusa.com i know the owner of us distribution personally. its a clean looking kit. there are some pics on that site

honey0bucket

hmmm....now the question is would that look good with the stock sides and my lip..

all i want is the rear bumper...

willlangford

good question, idk if steve has just a rear bumper in stock, i will find out tomorrow, but i think if it looks odd just get new sides and that will fix it

honey0bucket

you make a valid point...yeah if you could check on that for me that would be great.

willlangford

i mena if you are going to do rear bumper, shave hatch, then why not good all the way and do skirts. yea ill find out and let ya know.

honey0bucket

lol i'd love to but i need to take a look at my finances and see if i can afford the whole thing...if not i'll take what i have and just get the rear for the time being.

i acraully really like that kit. why have i not seen it? probably just missed it.

lonestar

Because alot of aftermarket hatches are already shaved.

willlangford

lonestar - plz get me a link to aftermarket hatches ASAP! going to the body shop very very soon.

honey0bucket - the kit is brand new into the usa. i am currently working with him to get some coverage on the forum and other places its only a matter of time. but you can be one of the first people to have it LOL

honey0bucket

that explains alot..lol..i really like that..its not too much but not too little. my kinda kit.

hmmm...maybe he wants to sponsor me with the kit...

willlangford

prob not, im the sponsored scion, but just a discount, but they are in seattle so you can save because you wont have to get it shipped

lonestar

I was looking around for it but all I found was a carbon fiber hatch without the wiper and emblems. I wish I could remember where I saw a fully shaved one.

willlangford

me2!! it would save me mass bank!

boomster

Shaved always looks good!

willlangford
