5th gen molded hatches?

[Hatch_Of_Doom]

I've seen a lot of them with the hatch completely molded (inner lights, license plate inlet, keyhole removed) but is that a completely CUSTOM job you have to do, or can they be purchased anywhere?

I'm interested in doing it, or buying one.... but I've never bondo'd or painted before, so I'm afraid I'd f**k it up.

well if absolutely everything is shaved it might be a CF hatch that was painted... or someone was stupid and had it shaved which you should not do yourself... and don't even think of doing this with bondo

I've never even seen a 5th gen hatchback carbon fiber hatch. If you know where to purchase one, please enlighten me.

Anywho, a guy around here has a 5th gen hatch and the rear panel is all welded metal that was intensely sanded down.

yeah all that custom shaving molded work will run you alot of money bro, so i hope your rich and have lots of money to drop on it. Im not flaming the idea cuz it does look tight as hell but its just too much $$$$$

Indeed. I'd do it if it were sorta cheap or if I knew how... but if it's going to be expensive, f**k it.

i did it my self..and they came out great...thats not the final product you see..but i did mold it just right...took me awhile to do...like 3 days or so....you just have to weld a piece of metal where you want to cover it up...then bondo it to smooth it out..use a fiberglass bondo tho..works better
