Wink New Pics of Carbon Fiber Hatch and Lexan Window

Here is a few snapshots that I took per the request of TOPSPEEDJASON. Thanks for the hook up bro! Just washed the beast really quick at my friend's house and almost forgot to share these. Enjoy!

wow, that looks really good! I read about your gasket adventure at cerritos, besides that any other issues? Do you know how much weight the hatch and lexan is and how scratch prone is the lexan?

I didn't weigh it since my schedule is very long during the week, so I just had it done. However, I can definitely vouch for the fact that the weight savings is huge if you also switch to a lexan window. The cf hatch with lexan could be picked up by one small person no problem. It was scary trying to lift the stock hatch with glass by myself. I needed help. I am guessing that I saved atleast 50lbs if not more.

As far as the lexan, I plan to have it 3M'd to prevent scratching as much as possible.

Carbon Fiber C West Body Kit with a CF Hood would look nice with that. Looks good BTW.
