    You have two options.

    Option 1: remove glass from hatch and transplant to CF hatch.

    Option 2: Buy new glass and install into CF hatch, then sell hatch with glass to recoup money.

    He should buy a lexan window and put it in the Carbon hatch and sell the factory hatch with glass to recoup money. Talk to NAIZBST on here. He had a Carbon hatch with a lexan window on his old Integra.

    Even if the carbon hatch can handle the factory glass it defeats the purpose of the hatch which is to lighten the car.

    ^^Damn that was lexan? I always thought it was glass.

    And BTLFED, as one of the top haters on here, you should know that 3% of the forum members who have CF pieces on their car have it for weight reduction.. the other 97% want the mad tite cf all over their ride for aesthetics lol

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    I realize that, but it would also cost more money to have that heavy ass glass pulled out of the old hatch and put into the carbon one (If it would even work) than it would be to just buy a lexan window. On top of that, people are more apt to buy a stock hatch with the glass still in it than a stripped one.

    And telling it like it is doesn't make me a "hater."

    No it doesn't. That is telling it like it is. And I thought it didn't bother you.
