As for weight, I have no idea. Let's just say I can hold the trunk with one hand.

No, I saw that one in the integra book as well, and even went as far as contacting yoshi at j-garage in japan to get me one from back yard special.
The hatch is from Vis, and I had purchased it before they had it even listed.lol.

Call Vis and talk to them about it. It runs around $450.00

I'd be way more careful now when closing your trunk.

Well at the moment I have not had it installed but I am contacting some local glass installed to do the job. When it comes to this I'd rather let a professional do it.

I called Vis and could barely understand what the guy was saying. He was too excited and didn't speak english that well so after about 15 minutes of asking the same question he told me that I can use the stock glass but to let a professional do it, but he said the only problem that might occur would be that I might not be able to use my rear defogger. ( I rarely use this)

He recommended FAL rear hatch lexan glass but after a while it fades and scratchs bad. Plus I don't want a hater engraving my glass.lol. I will get install pics up soon and will try and weight it as well.
