> have you guys ever thought of making a carbon figer or fiberglass hatch
for the 2nd generation eclipse. It has been talked about alot with other
eclipse and talon owners i know. just wanted to drop a line and want to say
thanks for make great products.

rock on...we can be assured the quality will be there...but will it be cheaper to order through them or the crazy canucks at squidskins?

Yeah, I spoke to ViS, and they told me when they're arriving. They're making a large bulk over in Japan right now, they'll be shipping in between November and December, if you guys do a group buy, I can get them very cheap for you guys on 2gnt.com.

DEFINE = very cheap
cuz I just hate it when ppl say I can get them very cheap and it turns out to be like 5-10 bucks of retail

these are going to cost like $800

My friend is a carbon fiber freak.. I hope he does'nt find this post :twitch .. I really don't want him getting any ideas to put this on his ride.. It's nearly finished and bad ass. I'm referring to TotalEklypz99 if you have seen previous posts with body work of his car

i wish i had the money to do all the shit to my car that that guy does to his.

Yea.. He has an awesome job for his age and is luckily able to freely spend his money on stuff he enjoys not having to worry about other big expedatures. I think he is in Aruba rite now for work. He had talked about it couple weeks ago with me, or I'm assuming he would have already found this post if he was not away.

LOL, maybe through ViS themselves. I already got prices on them. I will be selling them at $399 + $125 shipping. As soon as they arrive at ViS, I'll do a group buy to drop the price even more. The retail is set at $549 + $150 shipping.

so are these hatches just like the ones we have now but fg?

replace it with lexan??? or just use the window i'm guessing.

Do you think it would be safe? No worries about the heavy glass on carbon fiber/fiberglass?

I'm thinkin they will have done these up just like they do hoods, so it will still have a full infrastructure underneath it... it could probably still hold glass. I would be afraid of pounding my system on a CF hatch w/full weight glass. And Lexan windows don't like adverse weather, I hear, and are bloody expensive (not to mention not street legal).

I would not put the rear glass into a cf hatch. Definitely go with lexan. Does anyone know if the rear hatch is part of the structural integrity of the car? I used to think rear quarter panels aren't really structurally significant, but found out recently that they are. In fact, toyota has recommendations on what to do when welding in a new rear quarter panel to maintain that structural balance (you don't want it too strong or too weak). I'd be a little worried about this mod, especially if you carry rear passengers.

I would be in if the price was right, would it have holes for the rear wiper? or the squirter thing ?

i dont see how the hatch could possibly affect the structure of the car in many ways. The hatch is held down by a small latch, hardly enough to reinforce the car in a crash. Im quite sure the hatch will have a full skeleton structure underneath the carbon fiber itself, its just too large of a piece not to have this, not to mention its lifted and lowered every day by the owner.

The rear quarters are structural because they are part of the unibody. The hatch, however, is not. It is no more structural then the hood or the fenders.

do they make a carbon fiber top for our cars to complete the look on top....CF hood, CF top, CF hatch!

Im definitley in. Just let me know when you need the money!!
