Yes the parts are made from aluminum but aluminum is not lighter or close to as light as carbon fiber or even fiber glass.

Since we are for sure making these two parts who would like to get in line? The hood and hatch should be around $700 - $800.

This is all we are making for the time being.

hood, hatch, fenders, roof, spoiler, and some overlays. If these few items go well we will progress to lip kits and more parts. :happydance:

As soon as more people get their ECUs flashed to kill the stock speed limit, it's going to get adhestion tested a lot higher than that :) Maybe they should test at 160 against a strong headwind (say 20 mph if you can find one) for now to simulate :)

We will match or beat (if possible) the quality for a better price. We see no reason to price it almost $900.

Our introductory price of $500 is a price that most companies would not want to beat. And after a few are sold the price goes to only $650.00

can you make a carbon fiber roof roof instead of a roof cover?

I think he's already talked about it being available, and pretty cheap parts-wise too. The hard thing is the install, which involves some real metal butchering on your car by a really good body guy, and considerable install hours.

I dont know how cost effective a real roof replacement will be for them to make... I'd venture a guess and say its not going to be viable..

A CF roof would be a few lbs leighter. But the roof would cost about 1000. Then to install could be another $1000.

RCZ	06-30-2009 05:42 PM

granted it is the most important sprung mass you can remove, a few pounds will be hard to justify for $2000 John. THats just my opinion..
