ok, let me get this straight, you ordered these without clear coat because you intended to have them painted, right? now when you get the hatch, will that be painted too? or will that be clearcoated?

I'm either going to clear coat or paint the whole car.

Weight is about 10 lbs.

i dont understand the fenders because stock they weigh about as much as the crap i just took.

theyll all look sweet when painted

 

[igs]

The stock fenders weighed around 7 lbs each. The carbon ones about 2 lbs. Not very much savings but I guess every bit counts. I haven't weighed the stock hatch yet, my estimate is 80-100 lbs. The lexan I got weighs under 10 lbs, so we're looking at 60-80 lbs total weight savings for the hatch.

Absolutely awesome ings!!!! Clear coat that thing. Fix any chips or such with clea resin and sand it down after it cures and clear coat the whole car. If you do paint it leave areas or something to show that carbon is underneath. Flaunt it!

You should see the amount of work that goes into making the plug for doors! ! I have been helping make a plug for some Acura doors for a Pro drag car. My shoulders are going to fall off anyday now!!

IGS,

Just wondering if you ever got the chance to install the hatch yet? How is the fitment? Also, did you use your old hatch struts and latch? Please let me know, thanks.
