Hey guys, if all goes well, my cf hatch will be coming in on the 30th of June. As far as I know, I cant use you stock rear glass because it will snap the hatch. Was wonderin if anyone has any info, or knows where I can get some light weight glass... or if i actually need a lighter glass. Thanks alot my second family!

wow cf hatch, somebody is bawling! lol. I guess if you go to apple auto glass they can custom install something lighter no?

Nawaaz

lol... I never thought of that, I shall give them a call tmrw and see what they can do.

from what i understand, most of the weight is in the glass.

FAL.

^
FAL= flex-a-lite. they should make lexan/plastic windows for your car.

Nawaaz

yea, FAL.. just found them, and I found the glass, so probably gonna go that route

Why are you even doing this? Its going to scratch, haze and provide an easy way in for theives. This should not be done on a street car.

Nawaaz

oh.. its not a street car, my DA is going to be seeing strictly track, maybe a little bit of street driving but barely, and garage stored.

I got the FAL for my 92 gsr, awsome quailty, fits real nice and its very strong, just be careful when installing, i didnt use any screws on mine tot scared of it cracking. I went to bmw and got a tube of their black silcone that they use to put their windows in and it held it in like weld.

Sweet I'm thinking of going carbon hatch as well but I heard that they leak like crazy because of the way that the glass lines up with the hatch? Nawaaz if you don't mind what CF hatch you getting (Im thinking going VIS) and how much was your quote for the FAL?

yeah cf hatch is nice. i wanna do my hatch hood fendersand i think a carbon bumper but i dont think any1 makes1. all that carbon would lighten the car up pretty well. they even have a carbon look on the slipstreams ubt i dont think its real carbon

plzbeleiveit

If you look around and are willing to wait its just over 300.

My glass does not leak what so ever, it wont leak as long as its installed right.

Heres a pic of my glass, looks factory.

Nawaaz

yea, well im getting everything for around 800 glass and hatch, so Im taking it and yea, Im getting carbon kevlar fenders, cf hood, cf hatch, cv sunroof cap, cf rear bumper, and cf lips

blown90b16teg@11psi

Nawaaz

Nah, I wanna go as lightweight as possible, I am tracking, which is why, my car is completely gutted.

Stugatts

thanks for the info. did you do the install yourself or recomend a shop that did it right?

Nawaaz

Im getting the Extreme Dimensions one, from a couple reviews that I have read, it fits perfect, and im ordering the FAL glass too, its 271.

plzbeleiveit

Done by myself, pretty simple talk your time let the silcone on the window bake in the sun for a good day.

Nawaaz

Yea, I would think that it wouldnt be that hard, so Im just gonna do it myself.
