Converting my rear vert to a coupe. Should be done next week. Can't wait for the rest of the car to be painted. Body mods will also include HMS front bumper & Jeff Lemke's hood. Stay tuned...

Joe

I'm just doing the rear and not the full body kit.

you can convert verts to coupes?

U can convert the rear vert to a coupe. But to get the whole "coupe" effect, u would also need to get the "coupe" hardtop. There was one in the works, but haven't heard anything lately.

 

[steponz]

Isn't it wider than normal????

I would also like to do this.... Did you order from Jeff??

I absolutely love the coupe backend... Reminds of a woman with a nice rear...lol

... ahh ... umm ... then why not just buy a coupe?

 

[Jeff Lemke]

... ahh ... umm ... then why not just buy a coupe?

Because a vert can look GREAT with a coupe rear end!

 

[JKVIPER]

Jeff,

The vert looks great with the coupe rear. I bet it would save dodge money building both cars with the same rear treatment and have a better looking product.

 

[steponz]

Could the rear be done without doing the whole kit?

Oh, ok, now I get it ... just the rear end ... yes, a good-looking rear end

 

[JeremyS]

You know, that looks pretty cool. I was killing myself debating between buying the vert vs. coupe. One of the MAJOR reasons I was thinking coupe was that rear end looked so great. I finally chose the vert just because it fit my uses better. To have a vert with the coupe rear end . . . AWESOME. I really like it. Congrats! Enjoy it.

 

[SylvanSRT]

actually the Roush SEMA viper started life at a vert and was converted by Roush to be a coupe, there were also at least one other possibly the ASC/McLaren Diamondback if memory serves me correctly

 

[Nine Ball]

The vert rearend was too boring for me, that was the driving factor that made me get the coupe instead. Had the vert come with a coupe style rearend, I'd have gotten the vert for sure.

 

[Venomiss]

These look great and it will be interesting to see the finished product when it's all together.

 

[RTTTTed]

Definitely interesting. Looks good.

The coupe has external vents beside the tailights. Since the vert has a trunk, not a hatchback like the coupe, there is no reason to put the coupe rear on the vert (except for the ducktail?). It sure looks nice though.
