I've debated doing it, and cf hood but not a lot of weight savings to be had there. But the look of the top being all cf makes me want to eventually go for it.

 

Wow looks awesome surprisingly, i would love to see a couple of shots from inside. Would you say it reduces noise from outside at all or is it just the same?

 

Yea excctly..Stock hood is already super light!

 

I would think going from painted metal and glass to carbon fiber and plastic would amplify the noise...

 

I have a custom true dual with NO cats/mufflers/resonators (Gotta love WI) and the sound is a little louder but that is to be expected. However, there is no rattle, flex or creeky noise form the cf hatch.

 

Here are pics from member Silver350zed's Z

worth noting this is the strosek replica.

 

its pretty cool I think it would look great painted,makes it almost look like a mid engine

 

Thats a nice hatch. I was thinking of getting the actual Strosek when I was in Germany, but it was way expensive. Probably would have been worth it but not on the Z.

These look nice and saves weight. Thanks for posting pics.

 

Looks good painted

 

only 2 people have this hatch?????!

 

It's a very exclusive club

 

Still waiting for interior shots!!!

 

Another pic from Silver350zed:



The graffiti is on the wall outside.

 

FFT, it's easier to see out of the tunnel hath than the oem with SUBs in the back.

 

still no interior pics? lol

 

Its unique....and serves a purpose unlike the a cf hood, other than it looks good. One thing I notice in the interior pic above, it looks really close to the rear strut bar...I wonder if having subs back there would make some weird noises with it so close.

 

Necrobump...but i just ordered mine today..hoping to build a trick to allow easy pull of the lexan/glass for open air flow as well. Will be wrapping it flat black n still installing my Elia wing on it..

 

Goldennuggetz... pm'ing you on fitment install experience ..i just ordered mine..I figures w my i sane amount of fiberglass from.the cs kit...120 lbs of weight savings to help balance things out would b a good idea..

 

I'm feeling this! Didnt like it when I saw it years ago.
