I would do it, but you know how much I love my CF...

[goferris]

i love that front bumper and color! i just don't think that it is worth it personally.

I say no. That blue is just too nice looking to interrupt it with a CF hatch. Put the money towards some dark tint and a TRD wing.

[illneversellmyce...]

what color blue is that?! I like it

[forkee]

i think it would look good with a matching cf hood

anyone paint CF body parts?

I asked one company before and they said you need to use a flex agent or something like that to keep the paint from buckling/cracking.

In the long run a CF hatch may pay for itself by making your trunk struts last longer. $60 shippped is about the cheapest you can expect to get away with.

Anyone know how much weight the CF hatch shaves?

what are you talking about? 60 shipped? if you can get one to me for 60 i will give you 40 just for helping me out.
a cf hatch is going to run you about 600 shipped. the struts for the hatch would only cost about 60. and why would you want to paint it? sounds like a waste if you ask me.
do you mean the rear struts that go to your wheels? i don't even think they would cost as much as the cf hatch. them things are pricey. that's why i will never own one.

The hatch struts/lifters for $60 is what I am talking about. I am sure they wear out quick because of the excessive weight of the hatch.

Why paint Carbon Fiber? Because it is butt ugly. It's fine for a track car, but looks bad on street cars. Looks like you've had an accident and are too poor to get your body painted.

Weight is the only good thing about it. Why ruin the look of your beautiful paint job?


That said, does anyone know what the weight difference is?
