lol nah haven’t seen that, i gotta look it up maybe i’ll find some clips.
thanks viprtw0 thats what i was looking for.
so when i got my car in the trade was included a seibon CF hood and trunk… the trunk doesnt have a window… i found a rear hatch on a local forum with a good glass for $20… then a shop charges me $70 to install it on my CF one…
should i do this or go with like lexan or something?? iwere would i find this? anyone have a link?
I heard getting lexan to conform to the lines of the hatch the same way the glass does is quite a feat. It would save a crap load of weight but I’m almost positive you would have to rivet it down around the bends to both stop it from rippling uncontrollably at speed and keep its shape. Lexan rear pass. windows/roof work great though.
ill look into it and see… thanks bro
what’s wrong with getting a FAL rear window? I have had mine for the past 3 years. no complaints. it’s not lexan like some think. it’s actually Polymer. it doesn’t yellow like Lexan or lose it’s rigity. I’ve heard it scratches easy but I’ve had mine and havent had any problem with scratches.
were you get it from and how much?
it does scratch easily. dont let anyone knock on it or touch it with their finger nails. it gets annnoying when everyone wants to touch it.
yoyu cannot use windex on it. just mild soap and water, and clean with plastic cleaner, such as what you use on your JDM headlights
i use mothers 2-step plastic cleaner and polish, while some like the aerospace 1-step pray stuff.
eithter way though, it will still scratch, and the silicone adhesive will also bubble up over time if its out in direct sun for i’d say more than 2-3 hours. the expansion rate of the FAL vs CF or steel is different
I think it was Viprtwo I got it from??? was it not? I tried to look through the history but that’s too far back. It was someone in the 909 with the red DA with a carbon Hatch and FAL window. I had bought the extra window he had at the time.
I have kind of a silly question: can you tint a FAL window? Might help keep it looking stock but protect it from scratches on the inside?
I have heard that you can’t tint them because of the type of adhesive they use on the tinting film. But I am not 100% on that…
Hey, does anyone know where I can buy the FAL rear window?
thanks for that… lol
but in case anyone didnt know, SUmmit Racing Equipment has the 3 window set for 500.00 on right now, Im ordering mine in 2 weeks. and estimated ship date is 1/23/09
mine scratches, but i have yet to try to clean it up & polish it. will attempt it sometime soon.
but mine does have cracks in it, and havent taken the time to remove the window & send it back for replacement yet…
