rear hatch, any lighter substitutes???
I have tried to lighten my car everyway possible and realized that the rear hatch as got to weigh in at ~50-75 pounds. Is there any lighter substitutes that will still be able to handle a rear spoiler and not crack off. I am looking at the older Feed rear wing but I want to make sure that a lighter hatch will not break if a wing is attached.
I don't know how well that makes sense (or that
)
Thanks

Ex fd *****
There are Lighter hatches (CF or FG) hatches available. However,
By far the Heaviest part of the hatch is the GLASS - MAZDA Comp has Plexiglass replacments available that should save at least 10-15lbs without changing the frame

my friend used to have the C-west fiberglass rear hatch. The stock one is actually lighter. I think the stock one is as light as it'll get, it's made of aluminum..
