zliminator Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I was thinking about replacing the back hatch on my 240 with a windowless fiberglass replacement and mounting some louvers on it for asthetics. I'm also thinking about mounting a cam on the roof or inside the panel next to the lic. plate to show whats in the rear. Harbor freight Tools has one for $40 and MCM has a 4" monitor for $99. I have a pair mounted in my truck. It works just like a rearview mirror only the image is reversed. I figured replacing the hatch would save some weight and I wanted to redesign my dashboard anyway and it would add to the coolness factor. I just put some pics in my photo album. Haven't figured out how to link pics here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Louvers are supposed to shade a window. But you want to put them on a hatch that doesn't have a window at all? That's a little... different. Have you considered one of John's hatches with the Lexan window in it. Nice and light and you don't have to mount a screen in your dash. http://www.betamotorsports.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vashonz Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Are you thinking of somthing like a Lotus Exige or Ferrari F40? http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/2005geneva/lotus_exige_04.JPG http://www.atspeedimages.com/2004_ferrari_challenge_searspoint/ferrari_f40/ferrari_f40_engine_2.jpg I think they both use louvers in the rear window to get the heat out or the engine bay.
