i dont know oif this is a repost but i couldnt find it, well im looking into getting a carbon fiber trunk for myz but i just want to know what im getting into before i do it... i wanna know how hard is it to do or do i have to pay a body shop to do it.... do i need to replace my back glass or does it fit onto the carbon trunk, also what else do i need to install

 

I can be of assistance.

I would suggest having a body shop do the install. Depending on the brand, some hatches need more adjustments then others. As far as glass you have a few options:

Lexan rear window kit- These are sold seperatly for $200 or so. A good thing about lexan is the obvious weight savings.

Swap over your OEM glass- Most glass shops charge around $100. If you get it installed at a body shop, they can swap the glass for you. The good thing about OEM glass is you can tint it, use your rear wiper, and your rear defrost. You can not do those things with lexan.

If your looking for an OEM style hatch we have the Seibon hatches. Otherwise, if you want a more aggressive look we have the Mastergrade hatch.

Hope this helps !
Jim

that is the nicest Z i have seen yet. probably cost a fortune just for the bodywork.

 

$4100 for the widebody kit.

 

Out of curiosity, why can't you tint the lexan?

 

Because its plastic and can't be heated up. You could spray tint it I guess.

 

good lord

teh secksez

 

and the weeve matches that of seibon?

 

do you happen to have more pictures of that car???
I will use this as my MOTIVATION pic if you dont mind!!!

 

Yes, they are both 2x2 weave.

 

Jim,

As far as lines/gaps, are there usually any issues with the Mastergrade hatches?

 

HAHAHAHA. Jim, don't mislead them. lol $4100 will you get u the kit on your doorstep.

Getting someone to install it right is another story.

 

I haven't heard of any.

Jim

 

Anyone even considering a widebody know what they are getting themselves into.
