Re: carbon fiber hatch ?

[Hanson;451920]I don't know why you'd get a CF hatch and not put lexan in it. I imagine a huge chunk of the weight savings would be in the glass alone, not just the hatch.

If the original gel coat is fading/peeling, you'll probably have to sand it off and do a normal clear and wet sand it for it to look nice. Make sure to wear a mask because you don't want that CF dust in your lungs.[/QUOTE]

The hatch looks brand new. And I was thinking lexan myself. I dont need the hatch, but anything is a potential if its for sale cheap enough (always looking for deals)

The hood is what needs the work. And a lot of it by the look of the pictures.
Just think the extra ventilation would help in a road race application otherwise id skip it.
