I was under the impression that this group buy was over. For us guys who cant get 5 shipped to the same location, dont wanna pay 160 something for shipping, and dont want to wait 7 weeks etc. and would rather go a different route, its a great alternative. Sorry to get you all mad

How am I hurting the group buy? Somepeople dont wanto to:
Wait 7-8 weeks
Pay $163 to ship on hatch
Have to work with 5 other people


But for those who want to do the group buy its a great deal for those who can do all of those things!

Duell sells a CF roof "cap". Not exactly great for weight reduction....but it still gives you the look people want.

It is if you eliminate the moon roof Plus it will lower the center of gravity of the car

You could always cut the steel roof off and attach the carbon one like a BMW CSL. It's not like the roof has any real purpose right? Doesn't it just keep the weather out?

True....I guess if you put the cap over the roof and removed the moon roof underneath it, you could still lose some weight . I just meant that you still keep all that metal under there too.

I bet they could make one. Guess you could always just cut a hole for the sunroof and re-gloss the edges again.

I'm sure you could find a local shop that would make you the same product formed to your roof. Probably a hundred times cheaper than trying to import that roof from japan.

Another option to the roof cap is to do an overlay. This would allow for sunroof and give a selection of materials that could be used. I would like to try one with this flat tow carbon that I'm doing some parts in.

YOU, SIR, ARE BRILLIANT. I'm SO going to do this if I ever find the coin.

Imagine...CF hatch, CF hood, CF side panels, black joey-modded lights and the whole car wrapped in Alpine White vinyl (to cover the remaining otherwise mis-matched body panels)...mamma mia!

Say, does anyone know if they make CF doors for the R53??

...

And does anyone want to help me reenact a real-life Italian Job?

Yes....I posted them on the previous page of this thread

Only panels that I haven't seen are the bumpers and rear quarter panels. They make doors, roof, hood, hatch, front quarter panels, spoilers, wheel arches, sideskirts, and front/rear lips.
