VIS makes a cf tailgate for 92-95 hatches. I got mine from Access Motors in Signal Hill CA. It's a direct replacement, retains factory hardware/locks, and accepts the plastic interior panel. Weighs about 5lbs.

 

About how much does an EG Carbon fiber Tail gate cost?

Not sure what they're being sold for. I would imagine something close to what hoods go for, maybe around $400.

 

any pics rodez

 

anybody have URLs for the VIS or the Backyard special?

cant seem to find them via google

thx

 

I have yet to see one in person! I think the backyard piece is like $800 in the states so vis might be a good alternative.
I hear arospeed or apc is making them now to

How much weight does that save? I'd imagine it's quite a bit.

I think the stock one is about 30lbs, give or take, so yeah, over 20lbs in weight savings.

 

That pic above on the c/f hatch looks real good, whats the going price on that? I think I would look nice on my black car

 

rodrez-

so you are happy with the fitment and everything?

Again, I'm not sure the exact amount, but I've heard they're around 4-450.

Yeah, fitment is pretty good. I had to widen a few holes with a Dremmel, but over all I was pleased. It even had the holes for the factory plastic panel inside the hatch.

there it is... i was there when rodrez installed his, very light weight and well constructed. like he mentioned, it even has the tabs so you can use the factory cover for the tailgate, so it's really clean looking on the inside as well.

 

One more question..

does it already have the holes for the H emblem? because I would rather it didnt...

indentations i believe, not acutal holes...

 

Mine had the holes on it.

Does the VIS fit well? I got a duckbill wing and it sucks ***. Is it strong as well? I guess you don't sit on you tailgate.
