Thanks for the positive energy's everyone.This is going to be involved and costly on the front-side development .
It requires three molds >For the top alone.
1)-Substructure -(as did the OEM)
2)-Top skin.
3)-fastening point reinforcements.
Then it requires two molds for the inner headliner >( As well as liner cloth)
1)-Modified inner -(part that you'll see)
2)-Substructure-(for factory mounting clips)
And then requires molded Urethane or rubber bump-stops....as well as fastener points.
I also have to source a pinch/flexible rubber seal that can attach to an inner aluminum or stainless lip which will replace the OEM removed Urethane sealant/adhesive.
And of course some nice Stainless components for fastening the roof either permanently or temporarily.
As in ALL projects aiming towards production.....price points are being layed out as we speak. Final cost of a kit whether it be CF or OEM or Acrylic/Poly will soon enough be determined.
One thing is for certain.....if I had the manufacturer build the high heat tooling for this process....these would
NEVER had come to market ! It would have cost many thousands right out of the gate
