Default Any EP3 owners have the CF hatch

Just wondering if any of you guys have one and if so how does it fit? Also, do they leak and does it come with glass in it? Tell me a little about em please.

I was thinking of getting one. Vis makes CF hatches. They don't come with glass. I'm not sure of any other companies that makes them.

I think a CF hatch would ruin the terrible front/rear weight ratio in the ep3 already.

few people i know have it

your oem "heavy" glass goes in your
lightweight hatch

and few little mods have to be done
trimming etc

imo not worth it

yea it was in the honda tuning magazine this guy with silver ep said it is heavier than stock but he liked it because it was "different and weird in a way." not worth it, just for show in my opinion.

Same could be said for the carbon fiber trunk cover. Maybe it does weigh less but by very little.
