    Opinions on 6x3" letterbox backbox?

    I have been toying with the idea, in the near future, to go for a 6x3" letterbox backbox as part of a custom system.
    I currently have the usual suspect of a Scorpion system but wanted to get opinions on the letterbox backbox on, most likely, a centre-exit?
    Maybe this is O.T.T like the old-skool Carisma backbox especially as im gonna keep the body standard!

    you're not far wrong mark, was actually made to take a set of trailer lights so the oe light clusters could be removed for a smoother rear end. Was also a plan to use euro spec clusters and put red fogs in. It wouldn't take much to cut the slats and uprights out and stick some mesh in for a centre exit.
