i kinda thought about that but i figured it might get kinda pricey plus i would be worried about the residue it might leave if it were to ever get scratched and i had to replace it...

really good idea though and its still in the back of my mind.

just do the vinyl. i dont think you realize how much of a pain in the ass it is to fish through the wiring harness into the new hatch.

its fake. its simulated to look like CF. up close its obvious its vinyl but from far looks like CF. but i really dont know what route im going. i think i might just keep it OEM. J's lip is an option but my front is too low and not really practical. i know i will scrape the lip, ga-ran-tee. even if i snake a driveway. dont wanna crack a $500 lip!
