OK.. my fenders are MIA.. hope the come in tomorrow.. so... I installed the roof tonight.
I did also get my hood its flawless, I'm happy.
Layed the roof on to check fitment. Looks like there will be a minor gap at the back.
where did I put that sanding block...?
ah.. there it is.. Fudge.. I'm about to sand my roof. The roof that I spent hours getting orange
peel out of.
Here goes...
ouch! well.. it has to be done for the epoxy to bond without worry.
do the whole roof.. clean the dust off and let it dry.
So.. I mixed the epoxy, slathered it over the entire roof, and ran and grabbed the CF
Overlay. Dont have any pictures of the epoxy.. sorry.. just make sure to cover the roof real well.
With the assistance of dutchboy350Z (Karl) and ROGUELITE (steven) [thanks guys!] we aligned the CF roof
and started pressing. Once it was on where we wanted it.. I was time to add some weight
Found a use for my cats .. old clutch and flywheel! LOL
And its pretty much done! Old flywheel in the clutchmasters box was just moved around at random for the
next hour or so just for extra measure.
Overall fitment for the Asuka CF roof in a B+ as well. It could be a little longer in the back but.. all and all good.

Thanks guys. Thanks again Dutch and Steven for the help.. could not have done it w/o you guys.
I pray for fenders... Otherwise this project is at a standstill.
(sorta... I'll epoxy on the mesh to the bumper, maybe mount the canards... stupid stuff)
