Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

[Kaz]

We have a vendor setup to make direct fit vented polycarbonate rear windows for the Emira (and Evora). Sort of an 675LT inspired type look like the picture below.
It would be a remove the glass, and install with urethane installation. If there is enough interest I will make it happen.

How long would something like this last before it hazes over from the sun? would you direct glue the poly similar to the glass or would there be a frame that the poly sits in for a tooled install?

It would have a "blackout" area like the oem glass does and would be adhered directly to the rear hatch like the glass.
The manufacturer uses a hard coating on the poly to keep it from scratching easily and protect from the elements. Adding extra protection like ceramic coating, car wax or maybe even a windshield skin would prolong its life even further though.
We have been selling hard coated poly windshields for Elise/Exige for years and never had a yellowing/hazing report but obviously things can vary widely depending on weather, being parked outside every day etc etc.

I'll see what they can do.

 

[seriously]

This could be pretty cool and better than a CF hatch. If designed properly I don’t see it collecting any rain at speed. Only standing still which just means don’t park it in the rain.

Hi Greg,
A cooling engine under-tray, similar to what GRP already offers for the Evora, would perhaps be a more practical solution for extra venting, particularly since water and debris penetration into the engine bay would be a non-issue. Could that be developed for the Emira?

We could make those for sure.
Something to look into when the shop car is on the lift next time.

I'll see what they can do.

Sounds like they dont have the machine capability to form a piece quite that large with ducts like the F40 has, they could only do slots/openings.
I'll ask around and see if we have another source available.
