I would be in for a standard carbon fiber hatch like this, changes the total look of the car IMHO.

We can make it but we would need 10 people to pre-order to make this piece. Rough Price cost... About $1000+(Super Rough Estimate) including the glass and This would be Vacuum bagged CF, not hand Laid so it will be functional in losing the Z some weight.

estimated weight would be about 18-20 lbs.

If I get enough PMs to make this I'll do it.

We offered to make this hatch almost 2 years ago now, back then nobody wanted it. Now everyone seems to think it looks good? We still have the plug we started.

Does that weight include the glass portion? Would it include real glass or lexan/acrylic?

We do have a totally new design hatch, but it's not the strosek unfortunatly. We were going to make it a strosek trunk with a mastergrade molded lip on the back.

To save on weight we would most-likely use Acrylic/or Lexan, We may also modify it somewhat, just some minor things.

If it was made with lexan would it be stronger then lexan in a standard CF hatch?? SO we could drive with the wondows down on the HWY...

That's what I was thinking. I actually like this hatch.




...minus the wing of course.

Since the rear piece for the glass isn't that big I think lexan will hold up just fine, However we would probably have to test that before selling it that way. I Assume if we used glass it would still be way light compared to other CF hatches since the area of the glass is much smaller.

Ive Only had a few PM's about the trunk so far and no one really seems interested, I guess thats why Mastergrade had to put the one they had on hold.
