Carbon Fiber Hatch INSTALLED! w00t (56k warning) - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #29633 61 posts Started by forkee
awesome, ya i bet that goes up crazy fast. even when i had my spoiler, wiper and interior trim off mine went up pretty quick. now... just want to see one on a red celi. i think it would look awesome with a zyclone cf hood.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

this has got to look kickass on like a blue or silver
WHITE!
lol

that looks really hott
WOW, i want mine now!!!!!! It looks so sweet im happy i stuck with this G/B. And as far as the 3rd brake light goes im happy it has one. IDK about everyone else but i would DEFINITELY get pulled over for not having one, at least in NY i know you need one. And Forkee- did you have any problem hooking up the rear defroster? And also have you noticed any rattling?-----looking good, now lets just see how long it takes everyone else to get theirs................

theres a wire that connects to the glass in two spots. heres one on one side. no rattling yet. i got rid of my subs bc they took up all the space in my trunk.

and after putting all the underside panels back on....

does anyone know the price of a plexy glass hatch window?
do you think the cf hatch will be able to support a spoiler??

ClickHEREfor more pics of my Celica
no.....if you want a spoiler the size of TRD or such you need to ad bracing inside the hatch
just like he said.
some metal packed on by some FG should do the trick.
how durable is this hatch. is it made of ouf real carbon fiber or is it fiber glass with carbon fiber print put over it?

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
It is fiberglass with a cf overlay. One layer thick, thats it
ok so its all only for looks?
no its for weight reduction....
FG is very light also and no its not a cf print are you nuts. you can tell that from the pics. that would be so rice omg lol

honestly i wouldnt feel comfortable putting a wing on it. its really thin. a brace would keep it attached but then there will be stress points where the brace is and i can just visualize it cracking. it would have to be a simple spoiler (or a cf supra-like spoiler...hmmm..i wonder >smile.gif> ) and you would have to close it by taking hold of the hatch lid instead of the spoiler.

So why do you reuse the bloody heavy chunk of glass rather than plexi?

JDM ST205Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying.
hmm this is interesting but losing the gt4 spoiler will suck badly

also note if you live in CA and decide to pick it up, they charge tax, and the total comes out to $460.06. add $150 to install the glass and the total is $610. ouch....i forgot how much it was till now, lol
