how much more for the vacuum bagged parts? Also how many liters of oil will be in that "oil change for $50" deal? I need about 6 liters to do an oil change on my car now and it's a 4 banger...

it will be for 5 liters. it will be an additional $15 per liter. your looking at about $1000+ on a vacuum bagged part. it will depend on number of layers, materials, etc. some people will include a layer of kevlar to help reinforce the structure or some sort of honeycomb or core mat and leave out the inner frame. its all up to you on what you want it to be and what your actual goal is.

What is fitment like on these parts? I work in a paint/body shop and I've seen way too many poor fitting CF and FIberglass parts not to ask about fitment? Will the gaps be correct, will the parts be smooth and ripple free, and will they have the proper curve to match other body panels? I've seen a number of hoods that went stright out instead of following the curve of the fenders.

our hatches and trunks will have a perfect fitment. our molds are still new and have been well built to handle multiple parts for a long production runs. we sell other brands as well but you can see that the mod that they are using are wither getting pretty tired or have not been made well. we will post pics of the hatches once they are done. thanks.

sorry, we hit the first 10 a long time ago. if you purchase other items from us we can offer a $25 discount on the hatch along with discounts on other purchased items. purchase of our digital dashes will give you an additional discount on the hatch, dash panels and other items. we will have a big sale on MOTUL on the first week of September also to promote MOTUL we will be giving away selected items with the purchase of any engine part or carbon/FRP parts.

yes, if your going to install the stock glass you should have a auto glass shop do it. the surface will have to be roughed up first also. if you install lexan you will have to bolt or rivet the lexan on along with sealing it.

cool. thats what i thought. also do these come with any type of warranty? have you installed them on a car yet to make sure it can withstand the rigors of daily driving? what about the rigors of track days? will the stock latch bolt up as well as the cross bars that open it?it the cf trunk for the s14 looks that good i'll almost for sure buy one.

all of our hatches have seen daily use and track time. we have not had any complaints on them at all. if you are going to use this hatch for the track i sggest you purchase some lexan or at least some plexiglass. it would kind of defeat the purpose of cutting the weight of the hatch just to add it back on with the OEM glass.

yes, there will still be an outline for the cutout though. if you get the fiberglass hatch you will be able to sand it smooth and paint over it and it will cost less than the carbon hatch.

eh...the hatch i have right now has holes was the spoiler were and is not painted. so needless to say i'm not super intrested in saving weight. it will cost about 50 more to jsut get the cf, as opposed to taking it to a shop and having the spoiler holes filled and painted.

its about a 25lbs difference compared without glass. We didnt weight the glass. yet. We dont have the stock glass anymore. i think the glass would weigh about 22 to 25lbs. if anyone has weighed one please me know. over-all, i'm guessing, if you get a carbon or fiberglass hatch with lexan or acylic you can save about 40lbs. in combination with the hood you can save close to 100 lbs. we still have room to manipulate the weight. we can lay thinner layers of fiberglass with as little resin as possible, but the thinner and lighter it gets the more flimsy and weaker it gets....unless you vacuum bag the part with some core material. if we bagged it it would be 4 lbs or less.

????? black/black lace? do you mean weave? they are "black/black" 2x2 twill weave carbon. we have the hatch. the S13 trunk will be done in about 3 weeks.

OEM hatch about 23lbs carbon hatch 8.5 fiberglass 8.5~8.9 not much of a difference. its not vaccum bagged. even then it will get significantly lighter but you will see very little difference between the two.
