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.

Our Firebird has sort of a hatch, still usable. The deck is separate from the lexan, and it is held on the car by Dzus fasteners. Lift the deck off and undo the two Dzus fasteners on the sides of the rear window, and the window opens. It is bolted to the car with the factory hatch hinges. You NEVER want to open it outside, though, and it is very floppy when open.
