[twenty02si]

[EnJaNir]

[twenty02si]

i am just going by what the article said. i dont know im quoting from what hilliar said

[02euroyellowsi]

[twenty02si]

[02euroyellowsi]

[02euroyellowsi]

OK I'll look through some of them and see what I find

[twenty02si]

[02euroyellowsi]

[02euroyellowsi]

This is only talking obout what he has on his car not whether it is better or worse ! exact quote "The rear glass hatch was replaced with a lightweight carbon-fiber hatch from vis,yet it retains the factory glass" ....................................(super street, may ,2004 page #98 )

A) i thought it was saying that it retains the stock weight and i was informing people who were purchasing it for a weightreduction but if i was wrong i appologize and stand corrected.

B)i have never seen this thread

[twenty02si]

A) i thought he was saying it retained stock weight. i stand corrected

B) i have never seen this post.

C) i dont believe i ever said c/f was heavier than stock material. i believe i said it came out weighing the same as stock. so thx for puttin words in my mouth

Who cares? C/F looks badass!

[twenty02si]

Who cares? C/F looks badass!

no doubt like i said im goin for it i was talkin to those who dont care for looks and wanted it for the weight reduction but whatever i love c/f

[SiR_YO]

anyone know if there's any issues with the trunk rattling even more/less? with a decent pounding sub? ...

[Ep3 No.2]

yup carbon is for the bling imo.

but this has been said many time on ephatch. search. if nothing.

c/f hatch is said to be only a couple pounds lighter than stock. the glass is the heavy part.

[KimchiBoy_TypeR]

-BS the CF hatch was understood to be heavier!!! ( do A search)

-to be more specific 3 pounds heavier with glass!!!!

-and it was not superstreet but HCi!!!

- And cause its heavier you dont see it on as much Ep's( also Vis Cf products suck anyways ;) go with either Seibon or Fiber images for full carbon, high quality)
