Can anyone tell me how much weight you saved when you replaced your hatch tailgate with a corbon composite oem style piece?

 

Not enough to change your quarter nor eighth mile ET by anything.

EDIT:
This might be a stupid question, but have you ever picked up an OEM taillight? They're not exactly made of lead.

 

Yeah I have. But the hatch is pretty heavy. Just curious, to know the difference in weight.

edit: hah, sorry didn't even realize he misread the post.

The hatch is heavy huh? Especially the VX man.

Perhaps not, but removing weight (especially from behind the rear wheels) could help to improve handling, if not drastically.

 

Errr, my bad

Yes.

Sorry, my bad, mis-read the post.

 

I have a question.....If I were to get a carbonfiber hatch for my 1996 Hatchback, would I be able to get carbon fiber duckbill spoiler and install it, or would I have to drill holes myself????
