Due to the success of the hatch GB and some requests, i had asked ViS about a Trunk lid for you coupe owners.

Basically i want to know how many of you are interested AND can afford a $200 down payment in about 1-3months...

i'm going to copy and paste what i wrote from the other page so that you get an idea of what ViS can offer...







ViS Racing
-They will do $400 for 15 hatches
-This Price Does NOT Include Shipping
-This is a fiberglass mold w/ CF overlay
--90% of all hoods/hatches are made this way, as fiberglass's density is slightly greater than Carbon fiber's
-The OEM glass will transfer into the new hatch
-Production will take 3-4Months after payments are received
-1 Layer of CF
-2 Layers of Clearcoat
-Will be made completely Shaved (ie. no wiper or 3rd brake light) this can be done how you guys agree you want it
-shipping
--Short Distance - ~$95
--US
---1: 135-155 = per person
---2: 190-210 = 95-105 per person
---3: 240-260 = 80-90 per person
---4: 280-315 = 70-79 per person
---5: 340-375 = 68-75 per person
---6: 402-450 = 67-75 per person
--US Business - $125
--UK
---1: 350-400 = per person
---5: 1160 to Barry = 232 per person
sorry, he did not give me in between quotes, but using math it comes to be right around $200 per hatch after combining.
--Italy - ~$500*
Prices here will See the same drop as UK, if you know the # of people and have an address, let me know and i will get back to you
--Germany - $450-500*
Prices here will See the same drop as UK, if you know the # of people and have an address, let me know and i will get back to you

-All Prices are in USD

The Bad:
-There is a slight chance the hood can rattle due to a added bump in the clearcoat or lay, but it can be fixed if there is one.
-To have anything shaved, there's a slight chance of a dip /bump there(same as if you patched holes, only their a big co.) I think this is a statement just to cover their ass.
-The plastic inserts will not slide right into the hatch as is, if you want to keep these you will have to drill holes for the clips.
-In order to install a spoiler the following precautions must be taken:
--All you have to go to the underside of the hatch and fiberglass a metal piece onto the mold where the posts will drill in. This will reinforce the area.


Address:
ViS Racing
18856 E. San Jose Ave.
City of Industry, CA 91748


Needed:
Money Order
Letter explaining what it is for, and if you are combining with anyone else and also any other items you may be including with it.

-Must be Paid Via-Money Order.

I'll have to ask ViS again, but i believe you guys can save $25-75 depending on how many you have, as the trunk lid takes near as much work, but less material, thus less chance for error tongue.gif

I'll Start the list off:
