looks pretty dope actually but i'm not too fond of having to do a shitload of dremel work on a "supposedly" finished product and to wiper hole..my HF didnt come with a ghey rear wiper..why would i want one now..boo..but..it does look pretty cool i think i'll just pull the spare tire for instant weight savings when needed

Cool pics of the hatch Looks pretty clean and I guest for the hole u can just put a rubber plug...it won't hurt...

do u have some pics of the underside of the hatch and do the OEM hatch struts bolt on...I think it will shoot up because of the less weight...

So you pay top dollar to save weight,....and you get a wiper hole??? Where's the weight saving in that?

So this is actually a rice, and not a performance mod.
Beautiful rice...but still rice.

Also I'm not about to plug up my 500 bucks carbon fibre hatch with a 50 cent rubber plug.

A friend of mine just got the Vis carbon hatch for his DA and it looks pretty bad ***. On his (and probably on the CRX one), you are able to mount the struts still and it does in fact shoot right up as soon as he pops the hatch. He can just put his key in and turn, and the hatch goes straight up. And whats up with the holes? On the CRX one, there is that wiper hole, and on the DA one there is a smaller hole right in the center on the top side. It fawkin ruins the clean look.
