Thumbs up Carbon fiber sunroof??

Hey guys with all this carbon fiber talk why doesnt anyone make something that everyone needs, a sunroof that never rusts
I know I would buy one in a heart beat.
I brought this up becuase someone on here said they where going to make some but I forgot who.
So come one you carbon fiber guys make some sunroofs

Thats was me, but there never was enough interest to cover the cost of the mold. I need 3 people with money in hand, and it will happen.

Thanks alot man.
Chris,
On the hood, its a possibility, but not until summer. Ill see what I can do about a mold. If I do make it, I am going to make the scoop a bit larger than the stock one. Not ricey distasteful, though.

Price for the sunroof would be $150-175. Ill work up a closer estimate IF theres enough people to cover the mold.

I dont fully understand if its carbon fiber will it still retract or will it be permantaly fixed on the car?
But if it will still retract I definitly want one.

It will fit and work just like the stock one. I see 3 people with money in hand, so this will happen. Ill need a few weeks to ger the mold done, considering all of the other things I have going, but I will make them.

Mazda7: MANY of us first genners would kill for a CF hood. I suggest posting something in the 1st gen forum to see for yourself.

CF resists rain jus fine. You dont see any problems with cf hoods and rain, now do you? It will be just like stock, down to using the stock weather stripping.
