Are there any kits available to convert the rear hatch on a ZX3 or a ZX5 into a two piece opening?
In other words make it so the glass can be opened separately from the hatch?
( for example just like the Honda CRV rear hatch )
Cheers.

hmmm... very interesting. Haven't heard of any such kits but it's a cool idea

[darkpuppet]

can't say I've heard of anything like this being done.. would be very original...

is this something you're interested in trying?

if so.... *grabs the sawzall* B)

Seems to me this would be a natural mod. The design leaves itself with the perfect shape for this.

I am surprised this has not been done?

I will do some more research. Perhaps some bright european owner has done it.

Cheers.

Would be a lot of work, but I guess anything is possible if you know what you're doing.

Another project for when Jay gets bored again.

I was thinking of a 3 piece set up like the mid 90's astro vans

glass lifts up and lower part splits into 2 doors :D

only prob is rear wiper would have to be deleted

Why? Couldn't you just have the wiper come along with one of the mini-doors as they swing open? Sure you'd have to mind it when opening/closing/loading/unloading, but it doesn't mean you'd have to lose it completely.

That actually sounds like a fun project to attempt and actually has some practical use too ;)

That sounds cool... now, what if I mounted a small rear window in my trunklid, so I don't have to pop the trunk to watch my LEDs bouncing off the sub? :huh:

"Hey hun! I need some cash... nevermind what it's for!" :lol:

NOS definatly just inspired the fastback conversion desire in me again...

Awesome idea and it looks good.. there is a focus out there with it done already. LOOKS HOT not a fan of the paint scheme but the hatch is impressive

wow never thouhgt id see a focus wiht running boards....mind you the stock SUV ride height could easily accomadate it.

dunno if im right or not but is that 2 side mounted fart cans for an exhaust that look like a chrome bumper???

[05zx5]

hahah thats what i was thinking.. the "bumper" looks like mufflers, that focus if totally custom and i bow to the work that went into the car but the running boards and exhaust and choice of colors just don't do it for me. the tails look hot tho

[aka013]

What did they do to that poor Focus. Vary good custom job but it looks like some lowrider job they put on the wrong car. I like the window idea though. My buddy has a civic hatch that he welded the hatch shut but the window still opens. If you do the window mod please send me some pics. ;)
