You planning on doing the roof too?
I've debated doing it, and cf hood but not a lot of weight savings to be had there. But the look of the top being all cf makes me want to eventually go for it.

Wow looks awesome surprisingly, i would love to see a couple of shots from inside. Would you say it reduces noise from outside at all or is it just the same?

I would think going from painted metal and glass to carbon fiber and plastic would amplify the noise...

I have a custom true dual with NO cats/mufflers/resonators (Gotta love WI) and the sound is a little louder but that is to be expected. However, there is no rattle, flex or creeky noise form the cf hatch.

Thats a nice hatch. I was thinking of getting the actual Strosek when I was in Germany, but it was way expensive. Probably would have been worth it but not on the Z.

These look nice and saves weight. Thanks for posting pics.

FFT, it's easier to see out of the tunnel hath than the oem with SUBs in the back.

Its unique....and serves a purpose unlike the a cf hood, other than it looks good. One thing I notice in the interior pic above, it looks really close to the rear strut bar...I wonder if having subs back there would make some weird noises with it so close.
