The question now.
If u wanna carbon fiber or fiber glass ?? difference to both typs of material will be roughly about 18 lbs u can count the weight for fiber glass top about 18 kg/ 40 lbs for carbon fiber top about 9 kg/ 20 lbs.......but the price difference will be quiet much more.
f
Fiber glass light version 2500.-- unpainted
carbon fiber 4400.-- carbon fiber including epoxyd resin 2 layers one out side in carbon fiber and one layer composite for safety reason and all need to be done with vacuum, material cost much more aswell
Just so I understand this correctly, that would be 9kg in total for a carbon fiber racing version of your Zaintop. And that top will replace the top, rear deck and the cover that sits over the normal soft-top between the hardtop and the rear deck?

Anyone know how this would compare to using the same composite stuff from GT-Racing?
