Mold is made! First carbon fiber roof out of the mold is on my car and ready for fitment. We need to make sure everything is good with the mold and that we don't need to make any changes.

This carbon fiber version weighs in at 19lbs. That will grow once we add the lexan windows and latches but it is going to be a great weight saving over the stock roof, clam shell, and rear lid.

We're aiming to keep the price of the carbon roof under $2k. Shipping will be the biggest hurdle to conquer, I think. We don't have any plans of a fiberglass model because the roof structure really needs the carbon to be rigid enough.
