Don at advan carbon sent me an email in regards to a carbon fiber hatch for the ceica hatchback and the supra. He will be using an 84 hatch for a mold. price will be around 700-850 depending on the amount of people who join.
Sorry i would love an 85 i know the same but lining up the holes on that type of investment I would rather pay them are they willing to do an 85 pre drilled also shipping to 08759 i need to consider
I've sent don a few emails regarding fitment, predrilled holes, the possibility of a 3rd brake light, sun shade tabs,lexan windows I'm hoping to hear back from him tomorrow.
Don does do payments so you don't need to have all the money at once. No upgrade to lexan unless you do it yourself but he is trying to find new wearther stripping seal for the hatch
Might want to put wirysage and don in contact with one another, since this should bolster both group buys. Don will hopefully just have the option of including a seal or not since I know some of us will buy our own while others, and those outside the forum will want to have it included with the hatch.
Looks interesting. I would prefer to see it produced with no holes, except the one for the glass. No rear wiper, washer fluid squirter or even key hole.
Here in Ontario and maybe in other places it is legal to have no rear window if the vehicle as two side mirrors. Just look at some vans and trucks.
As for the glass, very thin lexan or plexiglass is the way to go for me.
eww. I hope it's left completely holeless and spoiler-less and left up to the owner to customize it for his/her look or use. I am sure there aren't going to be several hatches made, and I am also sure there are people who AREN'T going to want duckbills or '83/84 window shade types, etc etc. Can't please everyone, so like the hood, best to just leave it "stock", and since this hatch is not just for Supras, but for Celicas too, stock would mean with no holes for spoilers.
I would like to have an 85 sun shade option. I'm in. (I have already paid in full for my CF hood which should be on its way now So yes I'm dead serious)
The best way to do this is probably just a stock hood, no holes, or w/ w/out windshield wiper hole, and leave it up to the customer to apply the holes if they want the spoiler or sunshade. That's gonna be the easiest way for them to produce it. All these different wants/needs and requests will just make it a lot more difficult to get rolling and produced.
To clarify, the option for a sunshade request it's to have the 85 sunshade made in CF to go along with the hatch. It would look silly to mount a 28 year old faded sunshade onto a CF hatch.
Eh? I would mount the '85 spoiler to it. I don't care. I don't see what the issue is, lol. It's fiberglass anyway. And if you're worried about it matching, you can get it wrapped. You can also paint it black. Black goes with everything, especially the black moldings and bumper. Well that's my opinion anyway
I just moved to Long Beach.. pretty close to the manufacturer..let me know if you need any immediate help with test fitting or whatever
