    I used the same for the hatch back in the day. Even though the engine bay won't be indirect contact with the sun, let me know if you have any dulling or discoloration of the clear.

    ey picky ****! The cars' paint really doesn't need much.. just a good buff would make it shine. Prolly going to lower it with some springs and get some 92-93 GSR wheels to put on it.
