I like the custom fiberglass hatch. Good first try
Thats the first fiberglass part i ever made.... since then ive made the hood and doors, quality is WAY BETTER. The hatch is so big that i really dont feel like re-making it.... although it could probably be way lighter and nicer looking if i did... its functional and thats all that matters if i recall correctly it weighs 17lbs with the lexan and brackets. I have a thread in the motorsport section if youre interested.

Pretty much looks like the bumper replica I made about 12-13 years ago of a rare bumper before body fill was added, but I'm assuming it was just made for the weight savings....the stock hatch is heavy AF
After that I learned taking a mold then taking the mold of the mold is much much easier. Wax surface 6x with bowling alley wax(some sort of wood wax) and the fiberglass will peel right off.
I'll check out your build
