Wow, as much as I like the CF weight savings on the car, something just doesn't look right with the Cement color. Could just be the monitor/photos, in person it may look way better. (plus I'm just weird LOL) Any plans to have those parts color-matched to go more stealth?'
...and I know I've probably asked others as well, but is the hood totally vented to the outside? Asking since just yesterday we got a nasty rain storm that dumped 2" of rain every 30mins... just thinking how wet my engine bay would be with the vented Seibon's vs sticking with the OEM styled one.
Would you be able to offer a bit of a DIY on how you got the glass off, and if you ran into any PITA parts getting all the wiring/rear defogger and the like moved over?

we called a glass man to take off the glass

So the glass man did the swap over, and you did all the re-wiring? Just asking as when I popped off the inside panels there was way more wiring than I thought. Easy enough to move it all over?
"The side panels does not fit inside the hatch" which side panels? The 4 black plastic inside pieces? Also wondering how well the plastic pop rivets lined up, those annoying white and blue bits are a pain to keep intact.

the cf hatch is light but not with the window . The windshield makes it super heavier.
