I'm going to get a CF rear hatch. I was hoping to replace the rear window with a lexan piece. Does anyone know of any companies that sell molded or can mold lexan rear windows?

 

LEXAN WEB SITE

Measure out your back window and give them the dimensions of the window, curvature points etc and you can get the window made here for half the cost of a pre-made one.

 

Chargespeed makes an acrylic window. Is acrylic glass weigh less than normal glass?

 

I am also interested in getting a CF Hatch. I saw one in person last week, it looks real nice they were using the stock glass but without the rear wiper.

JDMxDrift, can you post a link of were you can get the chargespeed window?

 

the nicest cf hatch and lexan window i've seen is on the enjuku drift twins... i did some research and cant fingure out what tey used though

 

You can get the cf hatch at :

i-m-racing.com
enjukuracing.com

 

I called enjuku. They said they can get me the lexan window they use. Its molded for the CF 180sx hatch. You have to drill holes and rivet the lexan piece on. Race car status!! : )

 

really?? no sh*t! thats sweet... who does the rivets then?

 

no it's not revits
it's held on with nut's and bolt's

 

Either Or. You can use rivets or any hardware, which ever you like. Thats what the Enjuku guy said.

 

trust me dude there nut's and bolts
rob and i (one of the driver's for E.R) put his together
you all so need a backing plate

 

Thats great and all that you installed a CF hatch, but we're talking about what you can use to securely fasten the acrylic glass to the CF hatch. Just because you installed one with nuts and bolts doesn't mean thats the only way. I've seen drag civics with riveted acrylic window. I'm not saying that you can't do it with nuts and bolts, but quit being so close-minded.

 

yeah you can use rivets if you want like the dragster's
but do they drive around with the windows open ?
i'm trying to save you from buying a new hatch down the road

 

Now thats a valid statement. I thought you were saying to bolts just because you used them to install one. So why are rivets bad to use? The pressure from the air coming in will rip the glass off?

 

So All Together what are we looking at in total cost for the CF hatch and the molded lexan window???

I would like to know cuz i wanna do the same..........Lexan with rivets would look real badass man!
