Re: reproduction hatch?
Depends one who you are getting it from, I heard nothing but bad on most. I haven't heard any negative feedback from the one MotorCityK5 is reproducing.

Re: reproduction hatch?
I'm not sure if they are still selling them or not, i think it was LMC selling them that had such bad reviews. I'll look and add links if I find them.

Re: reproduction hatch?
I think it was Brothers Trucks that had them. All I ever saw was they were Garbage but this was a few years ago. I would like to know more about Motor city myself if anyone has bought one.

Re: reproduction hatch?
This is the first review I’ve seen of the hatch. Any chance you have some pictures of the fit and finish? Did you have to paint it?
