When I go to get my car, I need to know which type to get. I know there are Hatchback and Coupe versions, perhaps another. I'm not sure. Anyhow, I need help on figuring out which one I need to get. Like, what are the major differences and pros and cons of each. Maybe there are none and only appearance differences. Maybe someone could post pictures pointing them out. What I'm looking for is something that will be most applicable when dealing with body kits and such. Also, I'm pretty sure I'll need to get the GT-backed car because I'll be swapping in the 3S-GTE in a few years. From what I'm told, it already has the mounts. Any help on this would be great. Thanks guys.

how to tell the differences:
~hatchback, when poping the trunk your rear window will raise. ~coupe, just the decklid will raise and the window will be stationary. ~theres also a convertable available and if you dont know how to tell if a car is a vert or not please do not bother reading any further. PRO/CON: ~hatch pro better supported by the aftermarket gives it more of a mini-supra feel more cargo room con slightly heavier than coupe yet lighter than vert no rear strut support ~coupe pro lightest of the 6th gens decklid acts as a rear strut support giving a slightly stiffer suspension best car to be the 1st for a curren conversion con bodykits are not made specifically for the coupe, must custom fit hatch kits not too much cargo room ~vert pro convertable! decklid acts as rear strut support same as coupe con convertable, bad weather doesnt look to kindly at convertables the tops have been known to malfunction like any other convertable car heaviest of the 6th gens as said before, its all about personal preference, your location, and what you want to do with the car. -------------------- ![]() Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them all No but I don't buy it Like anything you do, as anyone you are Cause I'm...
