nevermind guys figured it out

 

What company did you buy your CF hatch from? Is it good quality? Hows the fit?

 

hatch is from VIS the quality is AWSOME! I was really surprised becasue ive seen some crappy stuff from them as far as fitment wise I will find out tommorow after we get the FAL window installed

 

I would have opt'd for the fiberglass hatch over the cf... ~150 for the fiberglass vs ~400+ for CF.

But, thats me.. I get all that stuff painted too.

I hope you're running hatch latches too.

 

hatch latches?? the CF hatch works with all your stock stuff or so they say Like I said I will let you guys know fitment....If I was going to paint it I would get a Fiberglass one too but never heard of a fiberglass hatch only costing 150

 

CF hatch plus FAL i love mine

 

Any pics of the cf hatch with fal rear.

 

not at this time sorry

 

Lets see some pics, when installed. I am contemplating on getting one!

 

wow, i guess you guys have a fiberglass bumper, cf fenders/hood, fiberglass doors, and finally you want to go with a cf hatch in the back...niiiiiice.

only if we could all be ballers.

 

for the weight reduction.

 

If you get a CF trunk, can you mount your spoiler on it ? I haven't seen it done, but I don't see why you couldn't. People drill holes for the hood pins in the CF hoods. Anyone know?

 

Those of you going with the CF hatch- what are you doing with your gas struts?

Yes you can mount the spoiler on the CF hatch.

No sorry i dont have to CF bumper just the hood and hatch...

 

thanks for the info.

PS If anyone is interested in CF front fendors, I have a set for 94-01 USDM integra.

 

So do the gas struts install on the Carbon fiber hatch?

 

I am very intersted in seeing the fitment as well. How much do those FAL windows go for these days? And how much are they charging to install the window???

 

ok maybe I can answer some questions..you can use your gas struts if you want I installed them but I took them off since the hatch is so light it takes alot to push the hatch down making me nervous that the struts will break off....second the FAL window I bought it for 215.00 it cost me 60 bucks to get it installed..as far as weight reductionthe CF hatch is very light even with the FAL window I didnt weigh it but I think it is deffinatly worth it
as far as fitment is concerned there is a slight difference with the a slight gap on either side which I maybe be able to adjust with the hinges....the people at FAL say you dont need a factory molding since there window takes care of that by overlapping but I dont think it would hurt putting a molding along the edge looks weird without it theres a big gap but dont take my word for lets hear some of the comments from the other guys who have them on there cars

 

post a pic, and let us form our own opinions.

 

Are we ever going to see pix?
