Cool Pictures of the Five Lug Conversion

Hey guys...i was wondering why i couldn't log in for the longest time but it looks like the new forum is up and a little while ago I got my five lug conversion done as well...took some pictures the other night. I also haven't showed you guys any pictures since the spoilerless fiberglass hatch neither. Some people like it some don't...either way it's mine and it's different. The pictures were taken at a crappy time of day as well...I'll get some nice ones after it's washed up nice.










I really love how now the rear real a touch more than flush than the rear fenders with the SN95 axles...

i agree, its weird seein a hatch without a wing, but +1 on being different, im like that too..it gets boring seeing all foxes/mustangs having the same rims/body kits/spoiler sand such..so nice job on being different man...it all came out great

Thanks guys. I'm not very happy with how the glass hatch fits though. I mean Idid all the work and stuff myself but there was no getting around the way it was made. I still have the original steel one that can very much be redone. I still have the spoiler as well. Also the fiberglass got wavy even after I straightened with glaze. Plus it makes a lot of noise going down the road. It'll be replaced by the steel one some day again...

Think of the spoilerless hatch as a halfback or hotchback!

looks good

what brand is the hatch made by? if it is a cervinis piece I would be suprised by poor quality. my mom's '05 has a cervini kit on it and the quality exeeds OEM
