Hey now that I actually bought the Seibon Rear HAtch and have it in my possession...Does any one have any ideas on where to purchase a replacement glass so that I can have 2 functional hatch's? Nissan is selling the glass for $350 (no aftermarket available) and there is a rubber moulding that must also be purchased for $95 also from Nissan. So thats another $450 on top of the cost of the hatch. Damn thats one expensive hatch. Imagine paying $1000 for the hatch, that would be a $1500 proposition. Food for thought.

I need a rear window for my hatch, please help!!!

 

I can get you the lexan rear window kit for $300 shipped. It's pre-cut and drilled and comes with all hardware. Here's a picture

It doesn't even look like there is anything there...I know some guys spoke of painting the edges to simulate stock glass. But I think I am going to go with stock glass. $300 is the best quote I could find online for stock glass. Besides, I need my rear defroster. Everytime I come out from the gym, all sweaty and steaming, I fog up all my windows. Sound stupid but true. I'm not that paranoid about the weight factor. I got the CF Hatch for the look more than anything. But thanks.

 

Sounds good ! Make sure to post up some pictures !

 

hey pm i need some prices i ve been looking and these products look like they have the best fitment also i would like to know if there dry or wet cf thank u

 

Andy, do all the interior panels snap back into the CF hatch?

 

The ASUKA rear hatch and hood's fitment looks good on Andy's car.
I'm gonna have to order those soon~

 

asuka is wet carbon... however is it dual layer carbon, i.e. the underside is CF too..

they are super nice pieces.. just saw andy's car yesterday...

 

they're single sided...however you can request double sided CF for an additional charge.

 

It is wet carbon and uses vacuum infused proccessing. Standard is single sided but you can order as an option double sided. Cheston, my hood is double sided carbon but the hatch is single sided.

 

OK Here goes nothing. I went head and installed the Hatch. What do you think. Unfortunately the pictures were taken after sunset. It was a lot easier thanI anticipated. Only thing missing is new glass. That comes on Friday.

 

Now my only problem is why don't the shocks fit under the hatch. Has anyone modifed the brackets that hold the hatch props to fit under. Can you take any pics and post them please. I really want to have the hatch props. I realize that the thing is going to fly up. Maybe I can buy some weaker ones at AutoZone. I need some advice. Anyone experience this before???

 

rrmedicx: how is the fitment?

 

Fitment is great. Lines up beautifully. No Problems. Only issue is fitting the stock hatch struts where the OEM used to be. It seems to be just a bit tighter there. The struts touch the underside of the hatch. Not a major. I could probably simply bend the OEM hatch brackets down a bit and modify it to fit, but I'm not the first to install this and certainly won't be the last, so why re-invent the wheel. I'm sure someone on this forum has a fix. Please share.

 

Are you sure you didnt put the shock mount that bolts on to the hatch upside down? I know my body shop did that when they painted my car and they couldnt figure out what the problem was until they realized they had the bracket on upside down.

 

can u tint lexan? also are carbon hatches and carbon hoods street legal? i dont wont to get harassed for it.

 

I havent heard of them ever being not street legal but some states have weird laws. I'd check your local laws. You can not tint lexan rear window or use your rear defroster, but you can always swap over your OEM glass

 

That may have been the problem. I'll give it a shot on Friday. Good lookin' out.
