Any ideas on rear glass mods?
I've seen the "Camaro SportBack" tunnell-back in the RKSport catalog, and also in the thread that's already been posted about it. I like the look on a black car like mine, but it's a little pricey. I've also heard mention of rear window louvers, but havent seen any pics or where to get them. Does anybody know, or have any other ideas on how to change the back glass? I was looking at my car the other day, and from a certain angle it looked almost Probe-ish. Also, it's getting hot as hell down here and I would be interested in ways to keep some heat out of the car. Thanks

I have seen a kit for the rear window that lets you take the back glass out. I guy at my college has this. It looks like it replaces the whole rear hatch, its a nice look, give it that roadster look. This may be the kit you speak off. I liked it.

You can get an ABS window louver for around $280. I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet, i found it in a local speed shop catalog, I saw one in a in yard one time and even though it was craked i wish i would have picked it up.

ahh yes the camaro sport back from RKsport. i wanted one for my v6 and still want one but for my LS1. its $875 plus truck freight ($100 or $150) and you still gotta pay to get it painted. you take out the hatch glass and install this piece. the glass does not lock. it has some sort of clips that hold it in place. there is also a pocket to store the glass when its removed. maybe some day, but for now id rather put the $1,100 plus into my motor! sport back

If we're all talking about the same thing, the "removable rear glass mod" refers to the RKSport Camaro SportBack (go their page, it's easy to find) The rear glass can be removed, which I think would be sweet when the t-tops are off as well. I just wish it wasnt so damn expensive
