Default Seibon CF hatch questions

Hey guys, im considering getting the Seibon CF hatch and i just had a few things that worried me about it.

1) Hows the fitment? is it noticably off at all?
2) Does it leak? And can you use the stock rubber weather strips underneath the hatch on the CF one?
3) How much average does the lexan glass cost? And what place can do it for you?

One of my main concerns is the leaking, becuz i drive it sometimes in the rain, other than that, its garaged.

Any info would be great

Thanks in advance!

Jon

I heard someone say before that using the stock glass would be too heavy for the hatch and that it could damage it if closed hard, dont know if thats true though...

Thanks for the info

get it and you will love it. Fitment is perfect. Ofcourse if you run under the rain, water will go down to your engine bay but not a big deal. I had 4 days rain so hard and no problem.

That's true.

If you switch to Lexan, bye bye defrosters. It's also illegal(in my state) to run Lexan on the street.
