On a another note, I started my version of the WHEELHOUSE DEPARTURE Radii. I hope to get Ecotex to post some pictures soon.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on that project
Welcome! We love your car!

When I think about the final version of the Kamm-back that I want for my Civic, I often think about cars with long and flat windshields. The newer Civics have really long ones, I do not know what would be better. I understand that trimming vehicle glass is difficult and almost everyone says that even the people with the most experience often break a windshield when trimming it, but I think that would be the best way to maintain visibility, if we can make it work.

How would you use a built-up trunk?

Some of us have discussed trying to convert sedans into fastbacks. There is a recent thread where one Ecomodder found the car of another and posted pictures. He considered cutting his Kamm-back to match the trunk, but just left it, and accesses his trunk from the inside.
