I have just gotten my Carbon Fiber Hatch for my 2000 Type R and was wondering if i use the FAL lexan window or if i can use the stock window. And how does the new window install onto the hatch? Need to get it on ASAP so if any one could help that would be greatly appreciated! I'll post some nice pics when it's done!

 

fal replacement

most of the weight savings is in the glass... so don't put the heavy stock stuff back in.

any glass/ body shop should be able to mount it for you without any problems.

 

i dont think the fiber will support the stock glass anyway .

 

do i have to buy new moldings?

I don't think most people run moldings around the glass, just sealant/screws

The body/hatch molding is on the body of the car.

 

carbon fiber holds the stock glass just fine...You can also use all the orm moldings and weather stripping

 

is this something that i can do myself or do i have to take it to a windshield place to get done? so far i have done everything my self on my car expect for the painting of the JDM front and side skirts so i would like to do this myself but if you guys don't recommend me to take my stock glass then i won't

 

take it to A place that does it for a living, they will know a lot more then you.

trust me.

 

cool thanx for the help guys? i will post some pics when it is all done.

 

cant wait to see the final result

 

It's going to look dumb...hehe

 

use the stock glass...lexan looks like shiizzzat

 

it's okay nate no need to be jealous now. HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHA

 

i have the stock glass on my carbon trunk and it's just fine.....what brand is your trunk?? mine is ViS

 

Mine is also a VIS carbon hatch. got a good deal cause we are VIS Racing Canadian dealer.
