If you need some tips on manufacturing let me know. I helped make the plugs and did the layup for a prototype Daytona Prototype racecar here in Markham...

i am interested. if the price can be around 150 and they keep full functionallity and being paintable isn't that big a deal, but it would be nice.

I completely agree with Icemark on all counts.

Add me to the list! I'd definately be interested in one... It must be functional though, and I'd definately prefer not to have any bolt heads or anything sticking out of the top... Pure cf would be nice, but if you throw some fiberglass in there to keep the cost down I can live with it, so long as its not visible from the top. I'd be willing to pay whatever the going rate is. Though I'd be unappy if it had to exceed $300

bolts don't bug me as long as they don't look horrible. I wouldn't want to pay too much over 250 for one. I would deff. be in on it though, mine is rusted badly.

whats the diff in weight between the carbon fiber sunroof and a metal replecation?

I mean, we can't be talking about THAT much weight being saved...

anybody know what another metal one would cost? (mabye alum?)

Have you ever held the stock sunroof? That thing is pretty hefty for its size. I don't have a scale, but I'd guess ~20 lbs.

I'd check a parts yard for a replacement, but good luck finding one that isn't rusted out.

The steel stock sunroof panel is hefty- I just freed mine from a broken sunroof assembly and it weighs 15-20 pounds.

If someone has time and experience, I can send my sunroof piece (needs to be sanded and painted), fiberglass, resin, gel coat, and just about all the other necessary parts to make a mold and then pull parts.
