This.

If you're a weakling, the hatch swap will be a two-three man job. It's not so much on the heavy side, it's just bulky to a point where working on your own is such a bitch.

Yeah im either welding some sheet metal all or if i can find a whole hatch cheap ill pick one up. Just seems awkward to pick up by myself. The factory spoiler seems wayyy to how can i put this... rubber like? I thought it would be a little bit better quality from factory. And for what i paid for it, its going to be one hell of a build. Already have a bunch of parts stacking up and will make a build thread when i actually have time to start wrenching on her
