slick all the way around, no recession where the wiper or the nozzle would go. just 1 hole for the 3rd brake light.

they will take it back if it doesnt fit, but its really looking like itll fit no problem. i wont be able to get it put on for a couple of days at the best, or a week at the worst.

i asked about cf fenders and they will do it for 450 per pair. (maybe down to $350 if we get a lot of people for a group buy??)

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
So the group buy WAS REAL!! Its about time we finally get to see some snapshots. I can't wait to see this on everyone's cars.

Now did they make extras to sell or ne thing? I would def be interested, but it would have to be a bit down the road

its about time!...looks great though...i may have to buy one once they make more then about 4 or so for the slim amount of kids that had the patience to stick with the everlasting group buy
Oh my god I have to have one of those.

i got a quote for transferring the old glass onto the cf piece....

$150

putting it on this saturday, w00t >biggrin.gif>

the guy is going to come to my house and do it. they said itll take approximately 1-2 hours and i can drive again an hour later.

the website is www.safelite.com

give them a call and see what they can do in your area >smile.gif>

if you want to just get a brand new window installed, it would cost ~$550

it looks great and i hate to complain buti do see one BIG thing i don't like. when we started this we said no third brake light, and there is one thats BS


this was posted when we started this go back and look for your selves if you want.
"Will be made completely Shaved (ie. no wiper or 3rd brake light)"

i hope the rest aren't made with 3rd brake lights. and btw when will the rest be made

the rest are already made (i assume he has at least 6 done)

if u want to have that shaved too, u can always call him up and see what they can do. i think they were supposed to have the latch built on there too, right? i dunno >tongue.gif>
if the stock latch transfers i'd be fine w/ that

but you are right on the shaving, i didn't think of that...wtf
i already planned to never do business w/ them again due to how horrible this GB went, but...wow, bad
Why not just put your 3rd brake light in, but paint it with transparent black?

QUOTE (cjh4l22 @ May 15, 2009 - 4:02 AM)hey, nice mod does it come in hetero?Need parts?I'm parting out a '94 ST
How much does that thing weigh compared to the stock?
ok whats the number, i'm gonna call

the safelight auto glass guy drove to my house and did the whole job in about an hour. it cost me $150 flat. just a couple of notes:
- all the holes that the plastic panels snapped into are sealed in the cf hatch. there is an indentation, it just needs to be drilled open.
- all the tools u need to remove and install hatch is socket wrench and regular wrenches (sizes 10-14mm)
- cf hatch is about 1/4 the weight of the original and goes up a helluva lot quicker

i also went to the anaheim convention car show. here ya go!

wow thats amazing, i hope someone else puts it on with a color other than black to see how much it stands out
all i can say is GOD DAMN, that looks awsome, i want one but i got so much i gotta do before i continue work on looks.. Damn.. so nice
yes i have to admit it would look damn good on like a red or blue car with a cf hood too. that would look damn good, it looks damn good on black too thankfully cuz thats how mine will look. luckily i shouldn't ever have to worry abbout running into forkee at a show lol

Can we get some wider angle shots? We know what carbon fiber looks like already, now what does the whole thing look like? >smile.gif>

Also, sorry if this was already answered, but what is the weight difference?
