.....too bad they don't make the "full" kit for the dc2 - only the rear window.
Also, there isn't a quality CF hatch on the market yet.

they make the quarter windows, but if you've ever felt stock integra quarter windows, they are super light as it is. I'd say a pound at most, so FAL quarter windows wouldn't be worth your time.

Yeah, look for the Braille No-Weight Hatch on the AWD Integra in Installment four, due out in about 4-5 months. However, the hatch is ready for order now. The first shipment from Japan will be here just after SEMA show!

I dunno I dont trust the flexalite or lexon stuff seems to me that they scratch real easy and once its scratched it looks like crap only other option really is putting your stock glass in there is you dont loose your rear defrost etc but that kind of defeats the whole purpose
The window can be tinted, no problem.
In fact for a 50 dollar option the rear window can be "factory" tinted by Braille. - Meaning the Acrylic is a dark tint material.

As far as the concern about scratches- these are NOT LEXAN. Lexan does scratch easily. These are made of a high density Acrylic that not only is resistant to scratches, it also "buffs" out with a light compound. Of course it will scratch if someone takes a key or knife to it.... But, the main point is that outside of abuse of the product it is just as scratch resistant as the paint on the car.

if you are supporting braile then why does your yellow integra have a fal rear window on it? are the windows made by the same company?
i also am in the market for a rear window. could you get me a picture of the braile one? does it have the black trim around the edge like the factory one? i already have my carbon fiber hatch so all i would need is the rear window kit with the molding and such. pricking would be great also..
thanks
