    Just putting a thread to see if people are interested in a slopping hatch skin.

    This skin will cover all the holes that the stock spoiler leaves when removed.

    The skin will need to be stuck to the hatch and then blended to the hatch use a body filler to smooth out the edges so it becomes a part of the hatch and will be seamless.

    You can just PM me if your interested in one.

    If I receive enough interest I will make a post in for sale section later on.

    I'm interested Gonzo. What about the 3rd brake light would that be incorporated or eliminated by this. I would like to see it gone and replaced with an LED bar at the top of the rear window.

    Interested but i would still like to use the infill panel, it looks bland without it.

    Infill panel doesnt fit with it as the fibreglass moulding covers up where the infill sits. an alternative would be to get a vinyl sticker made up in the shape of it? or, alternativly again Gonzo might be able to make one which stops where the infill panel goes...

    I quite like.

    But there has to be a third brake light unfortunately.

    Ah the things we get away with in Tassie :D
    I dont think cops down here are quite as anal as they are on the mainland..
    Once again though when i got mine of Gonzo he was working on one to fit an LED strip light in the lip that seemed to look alright

    Interested!

    These look fantastic mate, tie in real nicely with the rear bar.
    Pending prices, I'd be in in the future. :)

    you can buy strip LED panels that go on your back window from pretty much any parts shop.. ADR approved so no trouble with the cops, and usually look pretty standard from inside the car

    that would look pretty ordinary wouldnt it :eek::eek:

    the ones i've seen generally just have a black plastic covering on the back so it looks fairly factory from inside and out. It's probably your only option if you install this hatch skin though, as having no third break light is defectable (ask me how I know... sigh)

    UK skin

    Yes it is a UK Z in the pic as I don't have the skin yet and it is coming from the Z Centure.

    But they don't have a problem with me making moulds of there items
    after all I have the wide body kit moulds don't I.

    The skin I made has been posted thanks Stu.
    My skin was flat as this UK skin has a up ward slope

    I can make the skin with a 3rd brake light no problem.
    So with or with out light.

    Price Would be $160.00 with out light.
    I would of add price of suitable light with the skin that has 3rd brake light in it.
    And once I find a suitable light that would look good I will make a new would to have the 2 options.


    As it has been stated In Tassie we do not have any trouble if we don't have a 3rd brake light.
    If you look at how many cars that are still on the road that were never fitted from factory with a 3rd brake light.
    Are they all getting fined for it.

    Dont give a toss about a light dont need it. how quick can i get the cheapest version possible?

    look up your ADR's before you start selling parts to make peoples cars defectable mate

    Any car built from 1989 onwards must have a third brake light, any car made before then that wasn't factory fitted with one is exempt. Just like the catalytic converter rule. :bash:

    lol

    They don't have to buy it with no 3rd brake light but as I said im doing one with a light.

    Like no auto shop sells things that can defect your car do they.
    Most of the people here call me Gonzo or Dave not mate.


    Should have mould done in couple of weeks.
