    A simple idea that changes the whole character of the rear end - gives it what the folks at Chrysler called "the forward look of motion" - great job!

    It's good to see glass in the car. Chopping a wrap around windshield just blows my mind!
    Were you able to cut it without cracks? Or is it sunken???
