Default carbon fiber hatch?

i noticed most of the carbon fiber hatches for eg's don't come with the light cutouts for the license plate. does anyone know where i can find one that does?? i live in ca and don't want to be pulled over for no license plate lights. thanks in advance.

edit: ok i just found that vis and seibon have the cutouts, but are there any other brands other than those?

My VIS one had them cut out already, i just had to drill some holes.
I heard body kit NW has really good hatches. they are a sponsor here, and does deals if you get a hood too.

What do you guys think about carbon fiber parts like that? Do you think it helps on weight reduction that much? I really dont think so but I would if I had the money to lol.

I'd say for most of us, they are just for looks, but for a serious racer, every weight reduction helps.

I bought my CF hood because I needed a new hood.

Yea, it does help to buy the carbon fiber. I am for sure getting one of these hatches too. It isn't that much lighter for the 92-95 hatch, but for the Integras, it makes a huge difference

I heard that since you add all the locking mechanisms, plate lights, and potentially the wiper back in, youre only saving a pound or so because all the junk that has to go back in.

Just FYI, having no light on your license plate is illegal, it prevents the police from easily identifying your car, and there's no need to have a hassle for no real reason
