skylark: Wow! I hadn't seen that job before. That's your car and mod, right? Is there a thread showing how you built it? Have you tuft-tested the top of it to see where flow rejoins it? Can you still access the trunk?

That looks like a viable option for me (I especially like the way it uses the stock rear window, which will aid in keeping it clean in the wintertime rather than having a homemade plastic viewport, and probably annoy Smokey less). Only thing is I would loathe loss of trunk space. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to just start it after the trunk, or make a panel over the trunk raise up with the trunk lid.

See, I would've never considered that. Never would have thought of a boat-tail that didn't start at the rear edge of the roof. Awesome design.

Edit add: Ahh, it's in your sig. Didn't even look before. *reads*
