Fibremaz, why cant we get a carbon fiber sunroof?

Like the title states, why not? Should be cheaper to make and ship than a hood too...

Someone makes them for FC's, but why no love for us FB guys?

Here is a link to the FC one on flea bay:

Why do i want one? Well, my factory roof is all rusted and looks like crap! Glass ones are becoming harder (and more expensive) to find and repairing this one seems like a waste.

The reason why i addressed it to Fibremaz is because he is the only one i know making anything CF for first gens, so no offense

Use someone's glass one to make a plexi one or use your existing sheet metal for a curvature mold and bend your own. Then just bolt on the bracketry.

I never understood an opaque sunroof... It's like a screen door on a submarine.
