It is an overlay, it's not designed as a roof replacement

A real deal carbon roof could be done without much incident, and I've explored doing it. I haven't proceeded to date because I just don't think the community as a whole would embrace it, as they tend to be more like the OP, where its form over function (nothing wrong with that from my standpoint it just is what it is). If there was a general demand for such an item (wouldn't take a lot of people, maybe 10 to make it cost effective for a first run), we could easily have it done without much drama.

I guess ill have to lay it on the roof and judge for myself and see if I like it or not.
Or, I could sell it, and order a bunch of illest,sickest,dumbest and fatest stickers and slap it all over my car. Prob punch a few holes in my exhaust to make it sound louder. iono. Since im a ricer.
your best bet, is looking at pictures of it installed on a car, contacting those members individually if you dont get detailed enough pictures, combined with having your intended installer look at it to factor in your total cost, and deciding for yourself

^^Thanks guys. I'm going to hold on to it, again, for a while and decide. I'm all for function as well, just want some form to go with the car with this one.
