Default need help about carbon fiber hatch

I got hit in the back and need to replace my hatch. I want a carbon fiber one. I want one that uses the oem back glass. What brands fit the best, is the best quality, won't yellow? I was looking at a VIS or CarbonCreation one. Any input would help. Thanks

i have the carbon creation hood and the fitment is outstanding and it has not yellowed or anything, just hit it with a coat of wax about every month or two and you should be good.

where did you find the carbon creations hatch from and how much is it running?

It should, these hatches were made as a direct replacement to our hatch, you will have to take your stock hatch and carbon fiber hatch to a glass shop and they will be able to switch them for about $50 to $70, the only thing really keeping the stock glass in is the silicone they use.

It'll work and it'll look awesome.

www.racingsolution.com

they have the ABS Dynamics hatches. ive had mine for over a year, and it looks brand new still. and thats saying a lot considering its out in the AZ heat and sun all day long.

mine just needed a small bit of adjusting during the install. the struts are the hardest part about the whole thing.

its a very high quality piece. plus it includes the interior hatch panel that sells for $200 by itself.
