From what is the roof panel made? Steel? Aluminum? Unlike most cars I'm yet to see a carbon fibre roof panel available for the Z, so my guess is that it's aluminum. I was thinking if it was steel I could replace it with a carbon fibre one to lose all that weight. If it's aluminum it's not worth it.

Thanks for any help

EDIT yes I did search, like 4 or 5 times too

 

Don't know but a simple magnet will tell you if it is steel or aluminum. You are going to replace the roof with one that is carbon fiber to save weight? I doubt it. One, you will compromise the structural integrity of the car. Two, the cost is prohibitive. Three, there are more simple ways to reduce weight.

JK, I've seen CF on the roof, but not sure whether it was an overlay or replacement...

 

Mines cloth

 

mine's made of bird poop

 

Definitly steel, mine rusted when I got a dent.

 

Mastergrade makes a cf cover, but it goes on top, doesn't replace it. Unlike most cars? What car do they make a CF roof panel for? The only ones I know of are convertibles like s2000s.

 

Mine is steel coated with Zaino. Hood is aluminum, bumpers are poly-whatever and gas hatch cover is plastic (wtf is up with that!)
