Looks good, need more stuff for the RD2, but what happened to all the other stuff for the RD2 all there is, is the CF hood... just wondering.

Prices do seem a little high. But, where else are you going to find these parts. At least they are available and that makes me happy, even though I cant afford any of it.
Although.................I would be interested in a carbon hatch down the road. Any plans on these???

Could you mount regular glass on a carbonfiber hatch, or is it too heavy for it....I know its carbonfiber but just wondering....
Other wise what would you use? Plexi or lexan?

besides the fact there will never be a CF hatch available, you wouldn't wanna use the glass, unless you were just going for looks. thats the heaviest part.
you would wanna use something like lexan. but the price for lexan, and to get it molded to the shape would be ridiculous. and with a CF/lexan hatch, it would be louder in the interior, and the lexan would get scratched real quick.
would be MUCH cheaper and practical to get your hatch wrapped in CF.. perfect fit, no noise issues, and you get the look.
prices are a bit high, but for the CF bumpers, its not too bad considering theres almost no demand.
you guys gotta realize, theres little to no demand for these parts, thats why the prices are high.
civic guys have CF hoods in the 350-450 range because they are made by the hundreds.

I would love to see 3 things in CF.
-OEM style hood with hood latch. Always afraid of getting one because I don't want hood pins or poor fitment
-Sunroof
-Rear Hatch with possible mounting for spoiler. I've seen CF rear hatch before years ago on a blue gen 2. I wouldn't mind the extra noise but I would love the weight reduction.
