Let me get a few more things understood and I will let you guys know where I found it. I definitley stand behind this guy. Ive seen his work, at his shop. Ive never seen anybody work CF like him. Actually the guy that has the Carbonwerks website uses his shop in the winter, lol.

I'll keep you posted, when I here something.

please do... im very interested... and ive actually heard of him through Leo the owner of Carbonwerks i believe

I think I am going to do another group buy on OEM CF Hoods and they will prob. be cheaper than $375 Shipped. I am still working on it though, its just a lil FYI

Haha, its all good. I emailed him back asking stuff like how the OEM glass fits, will it be safe as a daily driven hatch, etc.... When I get some answers I will throw them back to you guys. I know Im def buying one and one of his CF chin spoilers.

I dont think I 've ever seen an installed example, anyone have a pic or two?

i'm pretty sure you'd have to use a Lexan rear window, which to be street legal has to be glued on and not riveted. thatd be awesome if it uses the stock glass, but that would really challenge the integrity of the carbon fiber, i dont think it's that strong... even change the shocks on your hatch? yeh that shit's HEAVY.
keep us all informed, i know ill DEFINATLY order one if you post up all the info :)
and DJ420a i wasnt trying to be sarcastic, sorry

it wouldnt use stock glass, a guy on dsmtuners made his 2g track car completely out of carbon fiber.

there is also a link somewhere to a race chassis maker, you can basically buy an eclipse shell out of fiberglass and everything you need to make it look like an eclipse out of fiberglass. i think the doors would be the biggest weight reduction

i wouldn't mind seein that link for that fiberglass eclipse and as far as the hatch if there was a lexan option that would be sweet.

The Lexan would be sweet, but would it be legal and if not is Lexan easy for the cops to pick out?

Lexen is legal... it just has to be glued...NOT riveted on.
so where's this link ? or the company name etc?????

I'm really interested in this! Lets have some info!!!

He wants me to call him at 1 o'clock est., today. So I should have everything ready to give you guys.

Well he never answered his phone. Could be cuz PA is getting pounded with snow. I left him a very detailed email. When I get that, I will fill you guys in.

pix?

I would pay good money for a carbon hatch w/ lexan epoxied into it. I would paint it though, or partially :)

*waiting by the computer* :)

pics of what, do a search for gods sake if you want pics

http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72370&page=2&pp=25&highlight=c%2Ff+hatch

Well I tried calling him all weekend and no answer, besides is machine. I sent him a very detailed email, including you guys were also interested, trying to put a flame under his ass. I get home today and no reply, WTF. Im gonna try to call him again right now. Also, there arent any pics of the hatches on his site. He told me through email.

Sorry guys, I hope I didnt just get your hopes up and have this guy not come through. I will let you know as soon as I find something out, which I hope is soon, cuz I have the money ready to order, lol.


Edited: 5 minutes later: I called again, no answer, but I left a message. Again I will let you know when I know.

so whats the verdict?

hey can you tint lexan? my car would look fuckin weird with no tint back there...might be the only reason i keep the stock glass if you cant tint lexan

i dont believe u can tint Lexan... i will call Moonshadow today and see what they say

I dont know what the hell is going on!!! Ive tried to get ahold of him everyday since Ive posted this, either by phone or email. He wont get back to me. Im gonna try to call him again, right now.

Edit: Well I ended up leaving another message. Im gonna keep bugging him till I atleast get a "leave me the fuck alone loser" comment.

Well heres the scoop. He finally got back to me.
The hatches can be made in fiberglass and CF. The price for the CF hatch is "gulp" 575ish. The fiberglass hatch is 375. Sorry his employees dont know what the hell there talking about. They do not come with Lexan, but he can install a piece for roughly 350 more. The CF does come with a finish or it can be finished to look like the racing CF. It will have a bottom frame. It will be built just as stock. I know its like 200 bucks more than I said, but his employee told me this. I am still gonna get one from him cuz I know he does really good work and stands behind it. He made Christian Rado's drag Celica body for him. His website is www.Frankscustomfiberglass.com. Please dont email him asking trivial shit, it will be like on here, you wont get an answer. He did say he will try to answer your questions in a timely manner, but he is very busy. There are more orders coming in than he can make. If you have any questions for me, you can IM me or email.

Sorry about the delay and for the price diff, but what can you do, lol.

well here y'all go...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7949467437&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

$450 on ebay plus shipping...someone grab it... I have a feeling that i will not be paying $800 with shipping for a cf rear hatch and tell him he's prob gonna lose alot of business... lemme search around a bit and lets see if we could get a group buy or 2gnt discount goin on... n e one interested?

i also called my friends at Moonshadow tint and they said they could possibly tint the Lexan, but theyd have to test it out on my hatch..so i need to order this hatch soon i guess lol :)

Well you find a decent price on one, let me know. My wife ripped a new ass when a said a pretty much wanted to spend a grand on a CF hatch, lol. Sorry guys, they got my hopes too.

i will keep y'all updated :)

GTFabrications emailed me and this is what they said.
-price is currently at $430, I have 6 people right now. if I get a total of 10 people in on the hatch I can get it down to $410. Yes the stock glass will fit. We are looking for a local supplier for the lexan but everyone is very expensive.

You will be able to install the inner weather strip but you will have to do a little drilling. All accessory holes have been covered up.

There are dimples in place of them so you will easily be able to locate all the mounting holes.

theres a rumor on DSMTuners that VIS will be making one for 450 dollars... they r one of my partial sponsors, ill call them tomorrow and see if they really are.

ill shoot GTFab an e-mail right now :)

NEW INFO: i was doin some research and I just found a currency calculator... the cf hatch from Squid Works is only $362 American dollars... has n e one bought any of their products?

Lets keep searchn so we can get the best price. Keep this goin, I want one, lol.

ummmm sorry to bump this back to the top cause it's alittle out dated, but i just got back from deployment and was wondering if you guys had already found a place for the group buy? 400 is an awsome price for a CF hatch, especially one that can use the stock glass. lmk. tks

As far as I know nothing yet. Anybody else??
