no, the install shouldnt be hard.. cf always looks clean but alot of people say its useless to get cfs on black cars cuz you can't really tell, but ill tell you this it's a hell of a weight reduction cuz the hatch is heavy as hell surprising? i KNo!! haha

i agreee that the install is not hard. but for weight reduction, the cf trunk isnt really that much lighter then the stock hatch. its the glass that weights that makes the biggest difference. so if you want it for weight reduction, make sure you get lexan as well.i know this becuase i own cf hatch.

No it doesnt... it just sounds a bit wierd to me... if you're not looking for wieght reduction then what else would you look to cf for??

Re: (98tegfreak)
I'm pretty sure the whole money spent : weight reduction ratio of a quality cf hood is one of the least effective routes of going about cutting pounds. It only cuts a minimal amount of weight and most good quality cf hoods are 450+ dollars new, sometimes just as much used. I guarantee most people in the import scene buy carbon fiber for bling factor AND aesthetics. They don't make a large enough impact on weight...it's just a perk.
