    Hatch exterior appearance ideas

    Hey everyone. I'm going to get some pics of the new hatch up sometime soon, but I thought about some exterior mods and one idea is to use the rear hatch wing off of the older Supras like this:










    I'm not a big fan of wings, but this particular style I think would look good and flow with the natural shape of the hatch and the rest of the car. It would look stock to anyone that didn't know better. Along with shaved emblems, side mouldings, and antenna, I think the wing would keep some people guessing what car it is.

    This is just an idea I had. Not sure if anyone else here has done it. I may do it in the near future but I wanted to get some feedback

    anything on that corola would probably fit with minor modifications. I'm looking for the rear louvers,I've heard they fit. the cars are so close in shape it's hard for a lot of people to tell them apart. I wonder if aftermarket body kits would fit on the hatch from that car? with the drifting craze the corolas are very popular again. I am running a wing from a nissan altima I believe,it's eithier an Altima or Maxima,they are everywhere. It looks so stock a lot of people swear it is. I mounted it up on posts. I normally have rear fogs in the bumper,but had them out for the meet,because I was working on them.

    I believe that the side skirts from some year thunderbird fit the hatch like a glove. It is the year that they had the supercharged super-coupe thunderbird.
