Okay, they are being made. Estimate is 2 weeks to delivery.

I may have one extra window that will be "hybrid": carbon / Kevlar weave (which looks like yellow / black pattern). It is a little bit extra, PM me if you are interested.

The others will all be glossy 2x2 twill carbon fiber with uni-directional carbon fiber core. I anticipate that most people will put the glossy-side facing the cabin and the matte side facing the engine bay, but the choice is obviously yours. These are 100% carbon fiber.

Amarao · 04-03-2009, 07:39 PM

How much extra for the carbon-kevlar? PM the details. Thanks

Roger that!

Dragon · 04-22-2009, 10:27 PM

Yes: they are made and will be finish cut on Friday, shipped early next week.

Thomasio · 04-23-2009, 05:52 AM

Please PM your addresses, thanks.

Thomasio · 04-27-2009, 10:40 AM

Hey guys, sorry for this bit of news... the parts weren't finish cut last week. The shop ran into a hydraulic problem and expects parts tomorrow, parts mid-week.

If you haven't already sent me your shipping address, please do so. I'll calculate shipping and send you a Paypal invoice.

All of the windows were made with carbon-Kevlar weave (normally an additional charge), they look great! In the future the carbon-Kevlar weave will be an additional $40.

Thomasio · 04-30-2009, 09:15 AM

Parts are finished!

Photos to follow...

Thomasio · 04-30-2009, 09:30 AM

Comparison of back side (peel ply surface) and front side (gloss surface).

Thomasio · 04-30-2009, 10:08 AM

Note that these are hand fabricated pieces, and will have slight weave imperfections.

I'm boxing and calculating shipping, will invoice the remainder later today.

Amarao · 04-30-2009, 03:26 PM

Payment sent.

Thomasio · 05-02-2009, 08:13 PM

All of the Group Buy parts shipped on Thursday.

Amarao · 05-05-2009, 03:48 PM

Got it! Will post pics later tonight.

geezer · 05-05-2009, 04:18 PM

Got mine too!

Thomasio · 05-05-2009, 08:52 PM

Let's see some photos!

Amarao · 05-06-2009, 03:26 PM

Alright, let me walk you through the install...

Step 1: I found removing the seats and rear panel to be helpful.

Step: I started with a utility knife and putty knife, then quickly got impatient.

Step 3: Apply Silicone Adhesive and enjoy.

I suppose I could have got the window off in one piece, but like I said, I'm a bit impatient. If anyone has any specific questions about what I did AFTER I broke the window, let me know.
