The CF rear hatch is dangerous Not really. We had one at an event a few months ago and I opened it to get something for the owner and it popped up faster then I thought it would and almost took my head off. It's now then it was

They look great too.

Hey. Just curious about the doors... Is there a substantial weight difference? From the looks of the picture, the skeleton of the door is still steel, is that the case?

What's the deal with VIS? I emailed them at least a week and a half ago and have yet to receive an email back.

I was just double checking about putting an OEM spoiler on with the bolts. I can always ask when I go to pick it up I guess.

Why not just epoxy it on? I'm no expert, but the bolts would be a very small surface area vs a huge surface area with adhesive reducing the risk of cracking, etc... When I put my wing back on, I must have used 10sq." of adhesive tape per side... There is a lot of area that you could glue down...

OEM has tape as well. Two bolts plus tape around the edges. I may just take the bolts out and tape it. Or wait to get the wing I really want.
