Tough choice, but i would also go with the hood. CF looks great on BG-33P.

Why would he need replacement glass? The normal glass should work just fine.

he means something lighter than glass... most of the weight of the hatch comes from the glass not the actual metal section.

I would vote hood as well. Like stated above there is no reason to replace the hatch unless changing the glass to something else.

If you get the hatch then you can get the FAL window to go with it. Probably would save atleast 30 lbs. Down the road you could always put original hatch back on without dealing with replacing the window and messing up the defoggers.

Its cypress green pearl, not paradise blue green pearl. And I'd go with the hood, but if you have the money go with hatch. You could always do hood, hatch, and roof cover.

You think so? I never really thought CF looked that great on Paradise Blue, just me I guess. One reason why I never got one, other than the cost... plus if I had one I would FOR SURE get that joker painted.

Screw some mismatched body parts that barely save any weight over stock.

He's probably doing it for show. I think for show, it's best to go hood first.
