I'll be making the CF roof component first. Straight replacement ,as you put it. The removable kit will follow separately. If one wishes to NOT glue their roof back on in wishing to utilize the removal kit later...I have a seal in development for this.

Some of the earlier CF tops (TC Kline) were multi pieced together.
These will have ZERO seams/parting lines etc. ONE PIECE cloth installations.NO cloth interruptions in other words.

Now, that's now accounting for the coolness factor which looks like it's been hit right out of the park!
Generally, Resin Infused CF parts weigh in about 2/3rds the weight of their metal counterparts.An aluminum part about 1/2....but you gain MUCH more strength and dent avoidance with CF.
