Can you still access the trunk? how are you going to go about putting a hatchback on it? Will be interested in seeing it mature.

I'm starting to hatch a plan on my Maxima. Looking at the pics of the breeze, I wonder if there is a very clear elastic plastic that is also durable. If so, I would attach the plastic like how he has it on the breeze and use the closing of the trunk to tension it and make it stiff enough to be useful. And still have the use of the trunk.

Did any of that make sense to anyone else?
