I agree.

 

But who would pay 4K???

I'd pay around $1000 for quality work. Since the only reason to change hatch is a weight savings, I'd really prefer pantera style. The glass size would be 5 times less or so, which means maximum weight savings

 

A hatch shouldn't cost more then a CF hood. And thats what I would pay....

 

a hatch is harder to fabricate than a hood

 

Yeah really! A hood doesnt have to seal or hold glass so it is quite a bit harder to fabricate. But I do agree it shouldnt cost $4K. The reason Amuse hatch costs that much is because it is dry carbon fiber. It would be cheaper with wet carbon fiber.

 

can someone explain to me the difference between dry and wet carbon fiber? thanks

 

Dude, I would hate that pantera style, looks kinda added on.

I think it would be worth a look, but I really think it would end up too expensive to even consider. For a couple of thousand, I would rather add HP, unless this thing REALLY dropped a lot of weight.

 

That's because it's not colormatched on picture. And louvers are optional, of course. Nobody knows exactly what stock hatch weight, but I can see 100lb savings. And as raceboy correctly noticed, it's all weight from up high.

 

Threads are pointless without pictures
