That's cool. There wouldn't have been much of a weight difference anyways. You would have had to use 4 layers of CF for rigidty and it most likely would have weighed about the same or slightly less when complete. I just hope it doesn't un-stick. Did you use a scuffing pad on the roof before laying on the CF? That would give it more tooth.

Screw the roof, you planning on doing anything else to the car? Looks to me like she's going to get a new coat!

Nice work so far, the final tale will be told once the clear and wetsand are finished.

+1 for doing the entire car! Might as well, since it's already sanded down and ready for fresh paint

^lol.... making one thread makes sense. But as you can see from the title of the thread he was like a kid on christmas. Posting a new thread makes everyone want to look, then you realize that its the same damn guy posting another thread lol.

Oh well. Good on him.

i started reading thinking i was looking at another thread man was that confusing lol,
op was the paint or body work in bad condition? if you are keeping it the same color why did you sand it all down? how about shaving the doorhandles while your at it
