Anyone ever installed or seen a 5.0 mustang with a Capri bubble hatch? I thought about replacing the rusted one on my '87 GT with one of those. I can pick it up for $100. Does anyone think it would look cool or stupid? I would also add the eurolight taillights to match my existing diamond clear headlights for a different look. The car is black.

It looked good on the capri. It was the one styling difference that was an improvement over mustang IMO. Sounds like a nice subtle mod, the kind of thing I would do.
And after all, it's got to look better than rust, so what are you losing?
Well, I think it would be cool as hell because it would be different and something that not everybody has. Being that I'm the coolest person on RAMFM, whatever I say goes here. ;o)
Put it on.

1988 GTMy completely unbiased opinion as the owner of an '86 Capri - do it!! Looks nifty and you gain large amounts of cargo room and perhaps a bit more view out the back. I have carried a 'keggerator" and a 4' high 4 drawer dresser in the back of mine, and lots of other stuff that wouldn't fit in my wife's '87 Mustang. One word of caution - the glass is real expensive if it ever gets broken. Mine cost $900 to replace 12 years ago. Of course you could just get another hatch if that ever happens. Go for it! Confuse the hell outta the ricers!! ;-)

A friend of mine traded his bubble hatch off his '86 Capri GS to a guy with an '87 Mustang. It look pretty neat on the 'stang actually. (better when it was painted to match) StuK

I thought they looked stupid on the Capri...
But WTH does it matter what I or anyone else thinks? And why would you even ask "what would look good?"
If YOU like it, go with it!
