I have been looking into the carbon fiber sunroof panels.wondering body has it or have used then and there feedback on them

 

are you looking to do this modification for weight reduction, or the look?

I can get you the carbon fiber wrap if you want to wrap it

 

My sunroof is pretty much F'ed so i have to replace it with a cf panel or get another one and have it painted.

 

I talked to someone from a company(can't remember exactly who right now, but I'll try and remember) that makes frp parts for fc's and he said that they make a sunroof replacement panel, and it total it saved 21 lbs right from the top of the car(best place to remove weight, also hardest because nothing removable is up there hahaha)

 

Dang ! I may need to order one

 

From my understanding you have to glue the mounting part from your old sunroof to tbe cf one in order to bolt jt to the car

 

There is one here: Mazda 86-91 RX-7 Sunroof Panel | Carbon Fiber [C7-MRX7-SRFP-CF] - $399.00 : C7 Carbon Fiber, Aerodynamic Parts

I'm probably going to just have a panel welded over the sunroof "hole" one day when I get it painted. All FC sunroofs rot. Sunroofs in general break, and for me it always seems to break open when I'm out in the middle of some crazy storm.

 

Alot of the ones i have seen. Bolt onto the the brackets etc etc from the sunroof. I have to order one and my review . Nobody seems to have them

 

I had always heard it wasn't worth it to by the CF ones. That they didn't save you enough weight for it to matter?

 

Im not to worried about saving weight. My is rotted and looking to replace it. If i save 10 pounds sweet. If they look sweet and are not piles if dump then i will pick one up.

 

Well if you just want it to look good, why not get it vinyl wrapped?

 

Becuase the sunroof is. Badly rotted. Badly rotted. We tired ti repair it when the car was painted but it still looks like dump

 

Oh you mean like Rust?

Then you're probably doomed.

 

Yea the sunroof its self is pretty messed up. Rust if the roof is fine. And now a freshly painted rust free . Besides the sunroof. We tired but stills looks bad. So its buy a new sunroof or buy the cf panel thing

 

Mine u this car doesnt see winter nor much rain. I bought it. Fixed the rust . Painted it and now its stored im bad weather

 

I have one, bought it this summer along with the CF hood scoop, can't remember the vendor but it was cheap and fit perfect. I'll have to dig up some pics and info for you.

Holy cow, just realzied mine was C7 brand - but it cost $229 back in April of this year (hood scoop was $149 instead of $278), that's crazy it went up like that. But it does fit well and looks great. They were awesome to deal with too, the first sunroof panel arrived with some damage to a corner. Lloydi was an excellent help in getting the new panel shipped out ASAP without hassle.

 

yea dude, send me some pics, i just ordered mine !.

 

I'm curious if the moon roof would preform better, being lighter that is. Even with lube they don't like moving.

 

What rock have you been living under?! Almost every FC I have seen has a deteriorating sun roof.

 

^^^ Agreed. My roof is perfect as well as almost all of the car (except behind the left rear wheel) and my sun roof is starting t rot and flake apart as well....

 

yea, mine is really bad

i ordered my cf roof, but i have to wait for it to come in, it's out of stock,

lets see some pics of people who have them

 

check out the new vendor..(vendor section).

 

The new vendor doesnt have any pics of then installed either
