Results of my weight comparison of Carbon hatch/wing/hood vs OE parts
I used the same scale we use at work for UPS on pakages we send.
OE jdm hood


Saibon C/F hood


VIS C/F hatch/VIS C/F wing/FAL plexi Glass window


OE hatch (gsr)w/wing/factory glass


Some after bath shots

Wouldn't the weight of the hatch be biased since you also have a fal window??
p.s. i don't think i could ever drill holes in my cf hatch.

How much did everything cost in total? Expensive way to save 45.8lbs 
Your front end's paint looks way different from the rest of the car

Good Info.
I've wondered how much weight really was lost with a carbon trunk/fal window. Now I wonder if it was the stock glass w/carbon hatch, if it would be that much of a weight difference?

Thanks alot for taking the trouble to get us this information.
The benefit of knowing these figures is however unfortunately balanced out by the burden of wanting to realize them...and the reduction in liquid net worth.
Scott, who always though Franza would eventually come thru with this info...but he didn't...probably got some lame excuse like "Yeah, but I was Actually Racing!"...Whatever!

how much did the K20A run you? looks damn sick.

I will ASAP
I work at a shop,so my prices are alittle cheaper than most people,and I do my own labor.But here it goes:
02 K20a2 swap with 17k on it $3885.00
Need roughly another 4k to get everything else to get it going....
