I'm using the same CF substructure frame as I do for the CF roofs to keep them strong and light. Stainless fasteners. |

how did you manage to cut the sealant at the front without damaging the windshield's upper molding? did you separate the sides and back first and then tip the roof up and cut from the inside? what about the seals on the sides of the roof? is there any risk of damaging them while using the piano wire?
just trying to get an idea of what kind of spare parts I may need when i'm installing mine.

Absolutely no tipping of the panel until all sealant is separated or it can place dents in the skin.
Let me clear, while the wire technique WILL work, I recommend using the more modern tool approach which requires use of a vibrating multitool. Such as the $79.00 Porter Cable brand. Ian and I both did our removals this way with ease. We finished up each corner with a long thin knife for the backside if the bolt areas. The front and sides were all managed from inside the cabin. The rear, from the hatch opening/trunk. It is not difficult. Nor is the headliner removal. Just ask Ian. It was his first time too. |

Ditto. Can't wait to drive up and get mine from you when it's done, Twisted. :-D
(Also, I know this is at least six months out as your PM stated. No need for a response. Keep busy at the shop!)

Progress is still being made for the clear roofs. Dialing in some optics distortion currently. I am still planning on working through the re-usable seal. That is much harder to design and prototype than I'd imagined originally. |

Patiently waiting on this as well. Not particular about having a reusable seal option as it would remain permanently a targa for me. Thanks for all the efforts in this!

What roof options are actually currently available right now?
for some reason my roof's paint is completely fucked (the clearcoat is coming off REAL bad) and I am trying to look at my options. Either just repaint, or get a flat black or carbon fiber wrap put on it, or look at these options. But it seems like they have all been "in the works" for the past 2 years. What options are actually purchasable?

I am not on the list yet, as I would like to see this option... No point in buying the CF roof is this one pans out!

I see no way to meet the same weight goals for this roof as I have in the CF panels. I'm certainly trying......but plastics are heavier by far than CF of the same thickness. Plus, I doubt anyone will have any issues selling their CF roof to an interested buyer who'll want to side step the line/wait. More to come........... |

Twisted, I just thought of a question today. Are you planning on having the M contours on the moonroof or will it have the shape of the non-M roof? I can't remember if you covered this anywhere before.

There is no specific M roof. Its either a coupe or a roadster. Perhaps your thinking of a non M hood being without the raised body lines? The coup roofs are all the same. Double bubble aluminum.
