I have Googled, Searched this site and a few others trying to find a different style Carbon Fiber hatch for 2g's. My ideal hatch would have a molded Europan style "lip" on the end like seen on some BMW M3 trunks. I feel these would also be an excellent alternative for spyder owners that can't decide on what should go back there.. Anyone make something like this for our cars?

It would be easy just to make a piece to urethane right over the steel deck and cover the holes.

So I'm guessing this is just an overlay then..Not an actuall total CF hatch with the lip?

No thats a decklid for a different car. Actually you are right though, VIS uses fiberglass and overlays the top with carbonfiber to make it cheap.

I'll be more clear, and I'm not asking for anyones opinion on the style of the hatch. The purpose of the pictures are to illustrate what I'm looking for. I would obviously prefer a high quality complete carbon fiber product if it were available. Right now I'll take what I can get, because my only options are oem, wingless, and ricer and I'm kinda over it all! This is also just a hypothetical idea, because I haven't actually seen this on ANY eclipse it's hard for me to picture what it will look like installed. Unless some computer badass on here can photoshop something for us?
 
this would be a great idea....i have never liked any OEM spoiler for eclipses/talons.......the trunk in question is sold like that but it also came on the M3 CSL edition e36, so its really not custom per-say

:confused: to each there own.. the 2gb spoiler is like the sti spoiler of the subarus.. They both look incredible on the car..

OEM carbon fiber hatch is only one offered, for a reason. Any other will look stupid. just my .02

personally, I think it might look good at a small enough lip. But your logic and simile usage there really ruin the point my friend.

Want me to go tape some cardboard to my hatch to prove it to you? Anyone with half of an imagination can tell you it will look like shit.
