So i saw this on ebay....

Ok, let me first state as a disclaimer - this one looks terrible. The wing, the stupid bubbley things, everything. Ricer's delight.

But it got me to thinking... could someone make a decent looking flat rear hatch? at least it would solve that stupid squeaky hatch issue.

Eh, itd probably ruin the body lines and be a waste of money. But at least this post is good for a luagh.

It's creative, and it takes skill and/or experience to make something like that, so I can appreciate the fact that someone made it. But I would never put that thing on a car of mine.

That piece of poop hatch has seen more eBay auctions than Paris Hilton's underwear. I don't think it has ever sold either, never checked on the underwear though.

Absolutely ugly, ridiculous concept, and doesn't even fit right, it looks like.

I don't know guys... I think perhaps the modder got Porsche's attention when they designed the cowls on the GT... but I could be mistaken...

I hope you don't care about actually viewing things behind the car...
