Great thread! Anyone running CF stuff on their cars?

Hmmm, guess I've never really taken one off before! I hear the hatch glass is pretty heavy, maybe do that? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The thing about that is that they make lexan windows already, and the front of the car is the part that needs the diet the most.

The bad thing about a lexan hatch is that your hatch is no longer a hatch - it is a window. I think you have to screw it in directly to the body. In that regard a carbon version with a window might be cool if you can keep the hatch function. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Heh, I was more kidding around than anything about the carbon hatch, but in regards to the lexan hatch, seeing as most of the weight of the hatch assembly is the glass itself, possibly with a carbon decklid/spoiler and some stiffening around the edges you could get away with a lexan hatch that actually functions as a hatch...hmmmm...
