Vic dude here just browsing some pics.
I just wanted to know what the thing on the back of "DRFTME" hatch there is a latch mechanism from teh body to the hatch. What is it?
Seen it a few times. Just wondering what it is n what it does?

they're for easy access grocery locks 
nah, usually used for circuit just in cast someone rear ends you, you can still drive on without the hatch bumping everywhere

Could you put those latches on the inside of the hatch?

probably but then you might have bolts on the outside of your hatch which would look shite.

HAHA....the 'Takumi' rear end prevention latches"
there is not much practical room inside of the hatch to attach these latches, but i'd imagine there is not much practicality at all! cuz even on the outside, sometimes its a pain to open the hatch forgetting that they are still on. you can always try though, don't see why it won't work.

I thought those latches can/also be used for fiberglass hatches which dun accomodate for locking mechanisms. correct me if i'm wrong. drifting at 100kph+ with teh window open might bust your factory latch.

yes, that is the exact purpose of those latches.
They are also handy when someone rear ends you in mid-drift, and you can still continue without having the boot open up!
