everything's pretty much been said, Im willing to pay a good bit for a CF hatch, so if you guys could kindly estimate a price, because I too dont know what needs to be involved to make this piece. A new thread on the hatch might let you know who is interested.

 

Do people not realize that while yes, the hatch IS heavy, the glass is also incredibly heavy and unless changed to lexan, there won't be all-that drastic of a reduction in weight over stock...

 

What are the Pros and Cons of Lexan?

 

I think Lexan scratches easier than glass. I'm sure there are other downfalls too, but I don't care.

 

lexan.. less noise insulation.. less structural rigidity then glass.. not quite as transparent as glass (but that might be a quality thing)..

its more flexible.. its lighter.. it can be scratched, but you can use plastic polish on it..

 

Sounds like stuff I can deal with.

 

I'm in for the Hatch CF or FPR. I'm sure most people here agree that we don't want a rear wiper mount(less weight for me/easier for you) and as for the inside covers just make it a smooth clean finish I don't care about that, you wouldn't see it often.
I will paint it so I just want the weight savings. You could sell it without the glass/lex and let the customer deside with they want. Plus less head ache for you. My biggest concern is fit and finish. Give us your ideas, (cost, fit, finish issues, weight)
Thanks alot,
Gary

 

humm... this thread was originally for the Modena II carbon fiber spoiler. How did it became CF hatch thread... hahaha

 

Here a new pic from balsarini... See how they use different badge on the rear. Which one looks better? EVO-R or Balsarini?

 

ha a chance to test fit the Modean V2 in carbon to my car the other day -its as nice as anything japan roles out..the factory did an excellent job

One thing I forgot to look at though was exactly how it mounts - can you shed any light?

 

haha... good thing I left the spoiler at mark's shop. I was working closely with the first sample on this one. I told the manfacture no gap or no wing. Adam, interest in carry them? Did you feel the weight difference between the FRP one and CF one? We'll be selling this wing in Japan too. Don't wait till you see it in Option Magazine then decide to get it. Hehehe

 

With double sided tape. Just line up the wing and place it on the hatch after you've applied a bit of adhesion promotor.

 

yea, this is also use 3M double side tape. This one holds stronger than OEM style. Since more coverage area.

 

is adhesion promotor safe to come in contact with the cars paint assuming you might want to take off the wing sometime

 

Now you can get this FRP version wing at the following stores:

Intense Motosports (In Stock Special $269)
RAV SPEC (In Stock)
Z1 Performance




Painted full picture will be release this week.

 

waiting for painted pictures

 

soon I promise

 

Thank you Adam
