Anyone have a CF Rear Hatch

Anyone have a CF Rear Hatch
Looking to decide on whether or not to go with a Carbon Fiber rear hatch and which one to go with?
I have a Seibon on the table. (New & very aggressive price)
I am trying to determine if it will be worth the investment.
I want to have the best possible fitment. (How does Seibon measure up)?
I don't want additional vibration thanks to my understrut sub. Will it rattle excessively since it weighs less than stock?
Should I utilize stock glass? I know nothing about Lexan? Price? Does this allow me to use rear heated defroster? or is it plastic?
Any other advice? recommendations? Thank you all.

ASUKA Designs. I have it on my car, you have to expect it to be slightly louder but it wasnt as loud as I expected. As long as all the interior panels are properly reinstalled, noise should be minimal. Fitment is perfect, retains all OEM parts, I.E; glass, mouldings, weather stripping. Reusing the stock glass will allow you to use the function of the rear defroster but replacing it with a lexan will delete that function. If youre interested in purchasing this hatch, PM me...

I have the Seibon hatches in stock and on sale. I also have an optional Lexan rear window kit but you can not use your rear defroster. follow the link in my thread for the sale prices.
Fitment is great on the hatches I've installed. Im waiting on pictures from Tay. Maybe a few members who've bought them from me could chime in.

I dont know the exact weight difference but Im sure a lot of the weight is also factored from the factory glass. I noticed that I will have to get softer hatch shocks because ever since I put the ASUKA hatch on and I open the hatch, the hatch shoots straight up because of the weight difference. I will try to get some solid weight numbers for you guys but from what I can see and feel, it is a pretty big difference.
