Default Carbon fiber hatch?

I am planning on getting one, with one of those FAL rear windows for the hatch. My question is will this effect my weight distribution by much? I tend to do a good amount of auto-x and so road racing at the track. So will this be helpful at all?

Is it helpful? Probably not so much. Spend the money on a roll bar or something.

Waste of money IMO, but to each his own! Although i have never priced them they cant be cheap, seems to be you could spend the money in a better way as previously stated. May i ask why, is it just for weight reduction?

Which class in autocross and road racing are you planning on participating? Usually, you build a car according to the class you decide to race in. With a carbon hatch, you may be in H1 = NASA; Emod = SCCA; autocross, I am not sure.
