Squid Skins has em, there about 450. There also labeled for 2g Talons, but i believe they shuld fit any 2g talon or eclipse.

Wow I really like the CF wing.

 

[Dsmboost4g63]

I was just wondering the same Q a couple days ago.....where are they available...i cant find anything on squid skins?

 

[ShadowWulf]

Its under SKINS, then sub heading EAGLE

http://www.squidskins.com/eagle/index.htm

You will see it. Also somebody PLEASE correct me if im wrong, but a talon 2g hatch should fit fine on a 2g Eclipse, correct? Im about 98% sure.

Yup.

id it wraped in carbon fiber or is it str8 through

i actually called them.....and the guy told me that its fiber glass it weighs about 4-6lbs give or take........with stock glass itll weigh about 10-15lbs.............it comes in white and has to be painted..to wuteva color u want........its actually less than $450 cus its in canadian dollars

 

[ShadowWulf]

I wasnt aware it was in canadian, thats gonna be what? $380 or so american? Thats cheap...Ive been thinking about getting one myself, but with the clear plastic instead of standard glass.

ha, yea cheap till u consider the $400 your gonna have to spend on the lexan , because that fiberglass obviously wont hold the weight of the stock glass.

uhhhh..actually they said u dont need a lexan (i specifically asked) it should hold the stock glass fine

$380 for a CF hatch???

I wish they did eclipse 2gb exterior parts or Talon 2ga

I was under the impression that the squidskins hatch was like 800 us dollars. I dunno if you guys knew but VIS makes a rear hatch in cf for the 2g. It just came out or will be out VERY soon and is only gonna be about 500 and the rear glass from your stock hatch will work both of the cf hatches from what i've heard.

 

[Dsmboost4g63]

yea i was checking out vis and last time i checked it was coming soon...i rather get one from vis. prob better quality. hope it comes out soon....i would also wanna see a 2gb turbo wing in carbon fiber

 

[Gorkoracing]

Their site says coming soon but I believe they just came out. A seller of their stuff on 2gnt posted that they'd be shipping in january so if its not out then any day now. And squidskins has the cf 2gb turbo wing on their site. I think shipping is what kills you with their stuff. But I have heard from several people who've bought or seen their products including the hatch and their stuff is top notch quality. No flaws.

I'd get a lex- rear window anyway..

Not lightening the glass (heavy) and running a light hatch is like putting on dirty underwear after a shower..

Except for the fact lexan doesn't look alot like glass and cops will probably pull you over.

Glass is'nt required in the rear in most states... convertables. with vinyl rear windows, soft top jeeps etc...

Just tint it to the max allowed for a rear window in your state. Then periodically use mothers plastic polish + some wax.. Always looks like glass then.

AZ is pretty liberal about tint. In MN the new law now reads like tint nazi's.

I never thought about that.

Ya tint in AZ for the rear is liberal, I have limo and that's legal for back and rear quarter windows.

 

[MNGSX]

I know of a 2g here in MN with lexan everywhere except the front window.. That is legal.. Side windows are ok...

A "super tucked" (street rod lingo) cage is hidden mostly behind body pillars...

Looks like a street car but only has two race seats, gutted then carpet replaced etc.

 

[2bar4g63t]

400 for the hatch + 400 for teh lexan = $800 you could have used for something more important.

first of all, any 2g hatch will fit any 2g; second that price is for fiberglass, carbon is more expensive.

 

[SpYYder]

does anyone have an actual pic? I've heard alot about carbon fiber 2g hatches, but never actually seen a picture of one on the car...

 

[apgeclipsegsx]

250 for a cf 2g turbo wing?! thats cheap! i have seen stock ones go for that
