I find this topic amusing. Just picturing it in my head makes me laugh out loud. 
I don't think anyone in here would do it, and I give
for drivenCSZ to even think of something out of the norm

the hatch about 4 inches w/aftermarket gadget...supposed to reduce
turbulence in cabin, but also sucks in exhaust fumes....

It would look terrible IMO. Just look at your car from the bak with the hatch open.
If you really want to do something like that, get one of those 600-700$ CF hatches off eBay and put it on. They come without glass. You could even make some kind of Lexan removable window, if you want to go all out...

Like removing the whole hatch, windows down on a nice day, i think it would be pretty cool. Anyone have a pic with the hatch removed, maybe somebody who put on a CF hatch? Id imagine it would be a PIA to take off, would it affect the driving dynamics/any rigidity problems? I wouldnt think so, the rear strut would still be completely intact.
you would have those exposed hinges/ ect.
you could leave it open and say its a Superwing that would impress uneducated ricer types. lol

haha..im glad the thread made it this far. For all you guys that think im a ricer hillbilly or whatever, I WAS JUST POSING A TOPIC. Im not a moron i dont post as much over here but ive been posting at zcar.com for over 4 years and have kept my Z unbastardized for over 3 years now. I didnt say i was going to do it, i was just throwing it out there cause id never heard anyone mention it. Jesus, say one hypothetical question/comment and you guys get all worked up.
