We expect at least a four-way split screen video, with synchronized tunes....

Artowar-

Sorry for the delay in posting pics. We got them over a week ago. I just picked mine up from my buddy on Sunday when I had access to a truck. Good construction, lightweight, and near perfectly overlaid CF. Attachment points look good.. but I can't confirm yet as I'm not swapping it in yet.

Lighting is crappy as it is overcast today.

Just in case you are wondering the handy dandy bathroom scale tells me 15 lbs. on the nose for the hatch.

packed very well and protected :-)



here it is unwrapped:



it weighed in at a whopping 12 lbs


logo closeup:



NOTE:
I did not remove the protective coating so it looks rough and unclear, i am not going to remove that protective sheet until after i get it installed to prevent accidental scratches.

Nice, but I think it's a damn shame that the Pillsbury Dough-boy had to die just to ship your Lexan window safely...

you can apply a sealer to it and it will keep the scratchs off for a while..

Yep! Anyone know what size or kind of wrench I need to get the stock latch off? Looks like Torx or something like that. Anyone know? Jim???

So some of the 7s around here will be tipping the scales at 2600 ha?

So are you considering this weight savings mod, Jim, for that forthcoming Chevy powered Fd?

Torx, IIRC.

I've already stripped a considerable amount of weight out of my car, and I don't think I'll have much trouble moving what's left...

Seems to me that the McLaren F1 power to weight ratio has been your goal all along. Looks like you've exceeded that even without the CF hatch. Congrats!
