    Awesome to see some new progress from you man. You're doing exactly what I'd like to do to my hatch(except just a different colour).

    My vote was for the midnight, it would be sexy.

    Thanks bro. Yeah its about time I did something about my crapy paint. I've decided to go with Adriatic blue pearl even though I love black I think a new look like this would be sex

    Re: New color for the hatch!

    I was considering on shaving my roof rails as i plan to do the antenna for sure. Quick question do the doors have a plug to disconnect the door or do you have to feed the harness through?

    Looks good keep up the progress. Im not far behind as my car is stripped down and the engine bay is in the prep stage. But i want to jamb out the doors and engine bay at the same time so i can put the motor back in.

    Yeah man unfortunatly there is no quick connection to disconect I had to feed the harness out first...but wasn't as hard as I thought just a few clips and its out.

    Re: New color for the hatch!

    wow that does look amazing. Ive always thought yours is the best hatch on here with all the custom work. Well second to guyuanabo's hatch. Nice prep work as well. If you were to rate how hard it was to delete the drain rails. Granted it welding and all but was it hard to fit the steel and all that

    Thank you Well as far as the drain rails go..they were alittle dificult to fit because i had to cut trim grind the metal pieces to fit decently in there..but its more time consuming than hard bro. and the welding wasnt done by me i asked around at 5 bodyshops and they were all too chicken to do it even if i had the metal pieces already cut. so i went to my eshaust guys shop and he did an amazing job none of the sheet metal warped
