I didnt install it but the people that did said it was a pain in the ass. and they are pros. All the holes to mount the wing needed to be drilled. lol.. and all the interor pannals need holes drilled also.

I wasn't real fond of the CF hatch but on your car with that color I really like it.

You just like it because there's less urine yellow to look at! :D

Seriously though, how are the gaps? The first picture looks like it lines up poorly, but the second one looks really good.

are the interior peice's not installed because they dont fit or because your going for less weight and you chose not to put them in. could you put all the oem parts in if you want?

man of all the different things you can do with CF, that's one of my faves. Pretty soon, someone's gonna have an EP with the whole body and everything CF.

You can put all the pieces back on but you have to drill the holes for the press fit connectors to fit into. I didnt feel like drilling them all so i left the innteror pieces off. the pieces would cover up most of the cf inside also.

does the hatch rattle in any way, and did you use them little shocks that hold the hatch up.

thanks

could you maybe post a pic of the inside with the hatch closed, does it look nice and finished? or does it look more "race ready"? sorry for so many questions...:D

I can put the base piece on but it has the little plastic pieces that stick out. and i would have to CUT them with a dremmel. I am working on making a cover for it. not sure yet.
