There are only 4 bolts that hold it in place, but You still need a weather seal.
Plus you would need a finisher in place of the headliner.

These are things that will come with the moonroof development.

I will be using adhesive on mine.
I will however be looking at a way to trim inside to have the CF exposed instead of putting the headliner back.

Thanks for the clarification. So you're saying that the OEM headliner won't work with this CF roof?

No, OE headliner goes back in for a normal, OE permanent type install. (if thats what you want)

My comments were related to your question on making it removable.
In which case you need to be able to get to the 4 bolts. ( = no headliner)

Will just black out the metal frame for now.

roof truly does look great twisted, but those wheels need replacement. they really clash with the roof imo. almost too busy with bolts/colors/lips and the weave in the CF

No time to screw with that. Plus, my car only has a CF roof on it as I test fit the CF roofs. The alloy top is there the rest of the time.
To give you an idea, I've had Tein lowering springs and about 7 other mods sitting in cabinet waiting to be fitted.

My coupe is a mule right now. No rest for the weary. Besides, these SSR' GT-10's have grown on me since I restored them. They are super light and a strong true, 3-piece wheels with Ti fasteners. They might look better once lowered and proper sized tires are mounted.

I believe he's received it from fedex and has it fitted. But not yet bonded. I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

shipping was great.
box and contents came through in pristine condition.

Such great news! I've actually engineered another method of cradling the roofs now. It will be even safer and more resilient to Ape shippers.

The roof looks great. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Quick pix of the 2x2 Twill in V-weave version on an un-clearcoated roofskin.



This the F1 or Pagoni Zonda 4x4 Twill V-weave cloth on a roll.



While these do cost more and are more time consuming to load into the molds, they aren't exorbitant.Bare in mind, both latter pix are in raw form. One with flash and one without to show details.

How much additional cost is the 2x2 Twill in V-weave roof?

The V-weaves' option (both 2x2 & 4x4)-adds $85.00 to the build sheet. Combination of material cost and added labor systems.

Non 2x2 Twill V-weave (standard twill) and 1x1 Plain Cf are no additional cost.

What color is your coupe ?

[Mtxzptlk]

I have a Monaco Blue coupe.

Sitting on the fence at the moment. very very tempted though lol

Is it true that your CF roofs use stealth technology?

How did you find that out!?

here's a dumb question. which weave would best match the CF from APR (splitter and wing)

Not dumb a all. But a picture is worth a thousand words. That will help me decide quickly. As well as weave direction and tow size.

You can always PM me with it.

i don't have the best pics, but maybe you'll be able to tell the the weave with these:





trying to imagine how good of a match it would be

2x2 Twill would be spot on for that. What happened there with the mount fail ?
