I am quite sure we can work something out.....;)

Mike brought up a good point, he's hatch is off a 98 GSX, if they do mold it according to that, should that hatch still fit on a 95 TSI ? We plan to get together and test fit on spike, however that may not happen soon...


Ziggy, please do check if these guys are willing to do a CF sunroof piece to replace the existing glass.

Well, I am NOT prepared to tackle too many projects at once....and fairly busy even WITHOUT these projects. IF the hatches are either finished or dead, THEN I will look at the sunroof pieces.

In the meantime, does anyone know if Mike's hatch from a '98 GSX is going to be identical to all 95-99 talons?

Fair enough Ziggy.

The only difference is the holes for the spoiler.

Oh I know its the same and will fit, just was concerned that it is not warped or bent in any way if that makes sense.

Yes, it DOES make sense. Mike, it looks like the interest is there. I have just finished emailing the Quebec guys, and although it is not CONFIRMED yet, there is PLENTY of interest, and I think this project will go ahead. It looks like we are going to be looking at a price around $580. - $600. per hatch at my door before taxes.

Mike, can we somehow get that hatch checked out, and then what do you want for it??

Yeah not a problem, I dont know who will be able to bolt it on, its just there is no way I m pulling my CF one off my car because fitting it was a huge b!TCH lol
Im relatively shure its fine, maybe if we ca get it to your place and try it on your talon? its a quick 20 min job or so

OK, havent posted in a while, but this project is proceeding well. The Quebec DSMers, as we all know, are serious harcore guys. They have expressed enough interest for this project to move forward. they are 90% confirmed so far, and I am sticking my neck out for the other 10%. I will soon be placing an order for lexan hatch glass for both 1g and 2g. I am not sure what availability and delivery is like, and they are not cheap at $409.95. We will also be ordering CF hoods for both 1g and 2g. The group buy pricing is going to be $420. for the 1g, and $435. for the 2g. Finally, there WILL be 2g hatches. The mold is being made now, and I have COMMITTED to take five of these at least. The Quebec guys are INTERESTED in five, so I am confident they will take AT LEAST four, so I committed. We CAN, of course, order more. Also, once the mold is made, these will be available anytime, but the group buy special pricing won't be. Right now, they are going for $580. If you want one at this price, you should speak up now..

"The Quebec DSMers, as we all know, are serious harcore guys."

nice Ziggy

Just telling it like it is...I plan to follow up with the CF guy probably tomorrow....

Progress report:

The carbon fibre shop is making good progress. He hopes to have the mold finished around the end of this week. Hatches should start coming off the mold sometime next week.
I am still waiting on the lexan glass to arrive for the Quebec group buy, but their order has downsized a little bit, so hoping to sent their stuff all in one or at most two shipments.

I believe this group buy pricing will remain in effect until the end of this month, at which time these will become available as just a regular item through my webstore whenever you want, but at a higher price.

Any idea on the pricing once ordered from your site Ziggy?

How much higher over group pricing, hopefully not too much

Probably going to be around $650. + shipping and taxes..

Who are you getting to do them? Please tell me its not that rip off at Squidskins I have never seen such poor quailty and fitment in my life

They are done now Ron, and no, it wasn't Squidskins. He only wanted to do Fiberglass, and if I insisted on CF, he wanted HUGE bucks. There is a guy in Hamilton that does nice work on CF, he did these. I shipped three off to the Quebec guys (who are all SERIOUS DSMers, and they were all happy. Alot of the guys on here have his hoods also....I think someone did a group buy a few years back...

Does this guy do custom stuff Ziggy? I just wanted to make sure Squidskins didn't rip off anyone else.

I don't THINK so...but I shouldn't speak FOR him. I know with the hoods and hatches, if he is not already doing them, he wants a minimum of ten in order to make a new mold.
If you want, PM me here or at my forums, and I will send you his contact info..
