Sorry if this has been brought up already...couldn't find anything. Does anybody make full rear quarter panels with scoops integrated? Functional would be awesome, but cosmetic is ok. I'm not a fan of the stick-on jobs that are available.

You are talking about a major body work just for a scoop?
I would stick with stick-ons.

Just exploring the options, but the intent would be to replace the entire quarter panels. Same way you would swap out for the GT350 front quarter panel.

To replace the rear quarter panels would involve cutting,drilling, rear glass along with quarters glass, and most interior. The rear quarter panel is an entire welded on part. Front fender is a bolt on. As a post above, go with stick on's.

I'm glad I asked before doing something stupid! No wonder there's nothing available out there.

The only ones I'm aware of being functional are those on the Fisker Rocket.

Problem there is the rear fenders are wider and bespoke to blend with the bespoke trunk and rear bumper.

I really hope the forthcoming GT500 (or whatever it may be called) features something similar :)

So looking at OEM parts, I see why the rear quarter panel would be so difficult to replace. On the Convertible it looks like it is made up of three separate parts. Maybe not easy to replace, but easier at least. Still probably a pipe dream.
