Wow! I can't even tell that's carbon fiber. It matches up so well. Or is it just that I'm blind?

The carbon fiber hatch's fitment is 95% to being perfect. There's a small gap on the left and right side. I don't think there's anything I can really do about that...or perhaps I can use rubber trim to fill up the gap? But that would of course look ghetto.

Is this the one that was a bargain in the No Va area FS? Just curious if that was the same make hatch. I can't remember if it was you that bought it.

The car looks awsome!! And the gap doesn't look a whole lot different than stock to me.

What exhaust are you running?
I am almost done with a LS2 build here in Richmond. I am hoping mine won't be too loud. I am running Hinson headers and y pipe, dynatech 3 inch cat, and PFS catback.

Oh no sir !! I most certanly wanted it!! I just had back surgery though and couldn't make the drive or talk anyone into doing it for me. And didn't want the hassle of shipping etc..

Good job on that. It looks sick. Now i have to get one for full pop!! DAMN BTW: Is your car TGM color? And it looks like you have the stock rear glass? How did that fit in? Any leaks that you may have noticed....more than the stock waterfall leaks that is!!

Thanks,

Dave

It's a PFS Catback. Straight pipe. JBA headers. It's not too loud unless I slam on the gas.

I would like to see more pics of it, especially straight angle, you can barely see it in any of those pics. Would like to see how big the gap is.

Well, I used the stock glass. Stock glass is heavy compared to lexan. The Carbon fiber hatch is a LOT lighter than the Metal one. I'm guessing it's a good 20 lbs lighter. I didn't get to weigh the stock one.
