Default cf hatch or CTR hatch

i have a EK and i plain to buy a cf hatch or a ctr hatch
the good about the cf hatch is...it looks great and it is light and will go with my silver hatch nicely the bad is its lots of money.
or the ctr hatch the good it will look just thet same, a Good replacement and its less then the cf hatch.and the bad is i have to get it painted and that's not cheap in ny.
the reason for replacement is i have a bad dent in my hatch and it will cost 500 to fix
so what do you guys think
ps:im getting a cf hood so the cf hatch may look more complete but i don't know

CTR hatch??? why wouldnt you get a regular *** hatch if you need a replacement,

i would use the oppertunity to get a cf one, but why would somebody try to get a ctr one??

dude, do what you think looks good. It is a waste to get a CTR hatch, it's the same thing (basically). If you are looking for something new then get the cf hatch. Whether you paint your roof to match is completely up to you. Some people think it looks stupid, and others love it. I personally think it is getting trendy already, but that's just me.

Dumb question. Just leave your hatch and get a CTR wing and then be done with it. Also you should change your color to white, yellow, or black as well.

<FONT SIZE="6">ctr glass is tinted. and the tint is between the glass....make sure you find one with weather stripping in mint condition and glass with no scratches and with working defroster line thingys . and also the actual hatch w/o major damage...its hard to find em in good condition.

btw only one of your license plate holes will line up....</FONT>

The CTR hatch comes with tinted glass and a JDM bolt pattern for the liscense plate. All you have to do is paint it, swap the locks, and run the wiring.

For the CARB hatch, mine also had the JDM bolt pattern for the liscense plate. You have to get the glass removed and installed from your old hatch or get new glass. Also there is no hole or any way to mount the lock cylinder. There is also no way to mount the liscense plate lights, you have to custom a panel to mount them. Also the hatch is not water tight around the liscense plate area. Theres holes on the top where the lights go and behind the plate. It looks nice tho
