i would like to replace all glass with lexan or something like that to save as much weight as i can, also in the far far future i would like CF doors after i get the roll cage in.

That's a valid question. I would have to see. I know on the EF Civic's you can't use the same glass with carbon fiber hatches. I think they use Lexan or some form of a polycarbonate resin thermoplastic. Let me find out... It would be alot easier with the OEM glass and less expensive. I doubt that Lexan material is cheap...

thanks jamito, way to watch our backs.... and check books. ;-)

but fyi! this isnt going to be aftermarket, he is making it oem off a mold of a real one. It will be identical im sure

well sometimes water can get in some electrical connections and start ****ing **** up, and water in the intake is big no no, so if ur gonna run the hood put the stock air box back on the car and just use a K&N drop in filter
