    New fastback option

    Well...technically not in most people's interest, but if you can import stuff from Japan you can sure as hell import from Greece. Also, still in prototype stage, so not sure if they will make it to production yet.









    Made by a local guy that builds various fiberglass parts. Not sure about quality or fitment but seems decent. His other stuff (flares, ducktails etc.) are rumored to be of excellent quality. I want to go take a look up close (he lives within 40min driving from me...) Price is rumored to be at 1500ish

    Looks good, but that's one hell of a blind spot

    Well, TBH I am not a huge fan of the luck of side window both from an aesthetics and function perspective.

    Run Harry, run. We need to know first hand.

    Wonder if I can sneak this by TSA wrapped as a Gyro?

    Looks good minus the blind spot. Really needs some small window on the side for semi function and to help the looks flow better.

    Side windows and it be better. Imagine this is maybe a prototype so the side windows may follow? Always fancied a road trip to Greece!

    Not defending anyone here, but where is Autokonexxion now? Also, how much different can the shape of a fastback be? Yeah, sure, they look similar, but a rip-off? I strongly disagree.

    Autokonexion is pretty much dead, but that's a different story.

    Rip-off was a bit misused there, more so what I'm trying to say is this fastback doesn't seem like anything new. It's nearly the same shape as a AK fastback with the "trunk" mechanism from an S2000 Spoon top and lacking side windows. I do understand that the standard shape of a fastback can't be altered much, but there is enough room for variation.(IE Garage Vary) The addition of a tacky roof spoiler and a duck tail doesn't make this top anything knew or exciting.

    I guess due to the lack of available fastback options for the Miata makes this top is a little bit more interesting, but I'd rather run an OE hardtop.

    I call those a Flatback!….why can't someone make a more fluid/organic fastback.
    I had hope for that Lightspeed Fastback.

    Think you mean Lightyear. I agree with you, his fastback is the prettiest option out there IMO.
