hey wassup guyz. ive seen a post in the past for people looking for a carbon fiber rear hatch for EG's. well ive been talking to a company that fabricates carbon fiber, and might work out a business deal w/ him if i can get your opinions on this.
1.a fair price
2.w/or without inner taillights
3.w/or without license plate
4.bolt on to factory latches

let me know on your opinions. im sure there are many people looking for one, yet cant find one on the market. thanx

 

1) 650
2) With inner tails
3) With license plate
4) no factorylatches. probably try to use two racing door latches for the hatch, and sparco sping style hood pins for the back window!

Very cool...just keep it a plain CF skin to keep costs down!

 

This is what i've been looking for! Bolts on, and the taillights and license plate can all be used just like stock. What kind of timeframe are we looking at- cost?
Due to less material than a CF hood, the cost should be less($300ish?). But then again, this will be slightly more complex. Smaller part, shipping should also be more effiecient.
Thanks

$550
with inner taillight
with liscense plate
will bolt on to factory latches

 

just because its smaller than a CF hood doesnt make the price cheaper. if you're wanting the inner taillights and the license plate and everything, you gotta realize its harder to make because of the indentations n stuff like that. i was lookin more into just having the license plat frame just to keep costs down, but for those who have left some feedback, thanx n i will keep this updated.

 

hey, I had to try

 

id better get carbon hatch #2

 

well if the deal works out good, dun trip fooo...i'll hook u up!

 

i thought we were gonna be partners? haha

 

we can do that...we gotta talk bout it...i met wid him today n talked bout it...hit me up foooo!

 

this is what they will look like. please let us know if this is something you guys would be interested in buying. if we get enough responses we will start producing them asap

 

I am so in as long as it's top quality and it bolts in and looks factory style. Who make that one in the pic and can I see better pics of it open and stuff. The factory weather strips and stuff should be able to be fitted also

 

i think 500 dollars sounds fair.
everything should be made to factory spec including mounting points, tails, license plate box, key hole. etc... if it wasn't an exact replica of a oem hatch i wouldnt buy it only because i hate shaved tails and license plate. id rather pay more for something that has the factory look than cut corners and costs to not have tails or etc.

 

1.$550
2.with inner taillights
3.with license plate
4.must bolt on to factory latch

Tell me who to send my money to when these are in production!!!!

 

I agree

 

thanks for the responses guys. we will be meeting with the maufactuer soon to talk about it in more detail. we'll keep you posted

 

I agree 100%, could not have put it better myself

 

any chance for a 6th gen cf hatch?
id buy one in an instant

 

we'll see how the EG ones come out first. if people are happy with them we will make some EK ones. the reason we're making the EG ones is because we both have EG's

 

backyard special does make a CF rear hatch for you =P but it won't be cheap

$500
W/ Tail Lights
W/ License Plate
DOES Bolt to factory latches

I wouldn't mind buying that for a reasonable price, and like I said above, make it COMPLETELY stock replacement.

 

If it does meet all those requirements then I would definately purchase one. It has to have a place to mount the license plate lights too. So yeah, as long is it is completely stock replacement I would certainly buy it.

 

make the whole thing factory but instead out of carbon fiber thats the best way to go..........

 

also if you shave everything it will become way to common with the ricers and then hardly anyone will want one

 

what would the weight difference be?
