Default ??? VFN Pin-On hatch Pics/Install ???

Getting ready to order the VFN pin on hatch here soon. I allready have their Lexan Window/Mr-10 ect and wanting to see some pics of how their installed.

Just wondering if any of you guys are running their hatch?

Woundering how people are fastening them, and how they look?

i called Racecraft awhile ago to c if they could make some rails for the hatch like their rails for a pin on hood - great product. so just wondering wut my options are for mounting and the best possible set up. thanks

10# Lexan Window
8# Hatch
2# hardware
20#

Eastside had one on one of their cars, it fit pretty good and was held in place with Dzus fastners along the sides, top somehow fit in the top and wouldn't lift out, but I don't remember exactly how.

thanks, ive seen the first pic but not the 2nd

i wish some one would do a write write up or some thing? there very few pics i can find.

358 chevycamaro^ you dont have to have a 9 second car to do this.
Im running a bone stock LS1 this season, my goal is to set some records up here for high elivations. Denver is 8,000 DA so my car hopefully will slide into the 12's this season. stock LS cars here run low 14's and sometimes break into the 13's. yeah my car looks hella fast with all the pin-on stuff, lexan, 10pt but its pretty slow imo lol

I said I wish my car was fast enough to need this setup. LOL

And for the record my car will be a 9 second car this year fairly easily!

I have done a bunch of installs and the way we set it up is welding tabs to the body the dzus the hatch down. We also Dzus the window in along the hatch and slide it under the top of the factory roof line.
