Installed the Seibon hatch. Pics ^^above^^.
Now this thing is screaming for tints.

how much weight did you save with the hatch?

11 lbs hatch, 2 lbs wiper motor = 13 lbs.

Hacked off the resonator and muff today for another 20 lbs. Just welded some stock pipe in place of the res and adapted some 2.5" to terminate out through the cut-out of the bumper. Not really a performance upgrade, but looks and sounds great for such a minimal amount of effort/money.

Speaking weight loss, I took a triumphant #2 before a drive today and I swore my car was faster.

Also, looking good Preloader. At this rate, pretty soon you'll have a carbon fibre car! haha

Got my windows tinted. I'm not terribly happy.:blankface:
15% is not dark enough for the hatch window IMO. The glass being so vertical is partially the issue. Also the 35% up front is too dark. I'm finna get pulled over in no time. Uggh. Already considering a redo.:sadbanana:
It was hard to tell indoors at the shop I was at when I chose the degree of tint.

 

[Eric Smit]

5% everywhere is perfect.

Looks good. Makes the chrome Look even more flamboyant though. I really wish I had gone with 5 in the back. I'll prolly get used to the front as long as I don't get popped for it. Can't wait to see how your grill mesh turns out.

Thanks. I'm working on getting better with vinyl so I can cover up that chrome. I'm just waiting on the mesh to get here and then I'll start slowly working up the energy to change it.

Sometimes a seemingly simple job can turn into a beast, especially on a hot day, or if patience is not a strength. My advice (not that you asked) is take it sloooow, you're gonna be the first one here to do it so no need to rush. Also think about the plywood trick I mentioned in the "mustache" thread. And above all......... Take a butt-ton of pics

 

[Eric Smit]

I'm in El Paso. Everything I do is on a hot day. It's gonna be a tricky one, but I'll get to it one day. haha
