I think the fastback tail lights look SO much better than the notchback tail lights. BUT, I don't want to convert my coupe to a fastback just for the tail lights (I like the notchback look). The only way I can think of to accomplish this and not have the car look like @$$ would be to get a fastback engine lid, tail lights, and rear clip and somehow graft the rear part of the fastback clip (just behind the sail panels) onto the notchback clip. Then install the fastback engine lid and tail lights as normal.

Or maybe there are some fastback-taillights-on-a-notchback kits that I don't know of (crossing my fingers)?

err... has anyone else noticed this little message when you visit v8archie.com?

"Trippin Smurfs nutted on this **** . -D3toX"

Some lowlife hacked their website. It would be wise to refrain from visiting the V8Archie website unless you have an antivirus program running. The little hacker kiddies might have left some surprises for unsuspecting web browsers.

the yellow coupe is someone here on the forum. guess you'd have to sach some to find the pics he put up.

also the purple pavement eater still has a fastback clip on it, modded to look like a coupe.

ferarri momo's supposed to be working at something for coupes. i'm waiting for a look at it myself.

JimmyB is the yellow notchback. He extended the notchback trunk lid to make it work. I have seen it in person and he really did a great job.
