Don't like the hatch or the side exit exhaust, but the rest is cool.

I could pretty much garuntee you that you would be the only one. I agree with most that I don't think the appearance will be something people will drool over. Most likely you will get one of these two looks; or

I do think its great however you are thinking outside of the box, and trying something unique. Best of luck to you!

gotta give you credit for the work, and you will end up with something unique. personally id have to see the finished product to say if i liked it or not, but screw me, that doesnt matter. its your car, do it the way you want to, and if people want to talk trash, wait for them to walk behind it, and back up quickly seriously tho, do it like you want.

why no put a civic front end on it? anyone ever see that civic with the corvette rear? everyone on the board smashed it.... plus the camaro rear isn't that appealing.

that is the first shot i have seen that actually makes the hatch look good though. why do so many people hate it? it looks closer to a FRC C5.

Props on the work. Not really feeling the hatch, unless you paint it black it may blend. A lot better idea than the last guy that tried to mix and match camaro and firebird parts.

I think it's unanimous that the hatch has to go. Other than that keep up the good work and it's nice to see someone trying something different even though most of us don't agree. I think with the right wheels and stance and paint you can pull it off. As said before update with pix when you can!!!!
