Fitment is really good without any rubber on the roof yet.
I will try to post some picture on a later date.

The good news is that Carlo wants $2500 for making these prepreg dry carbon roof.
I am not sure what the rule is currently and whether the forum allows me to post his details.
If the moderator allows I will post his detials if not then pm me if you guys are interested.

Cheers

That's not bad for the shell, add $? for latches, OEM or aftermarket bolt up and courier. Could possibly come out to say roughly $3500 - $4000, maybe a bit more. OEM seals/ rubber are very expensive these would probably best to go aftermarket like the rubbers I used on my old Mugen style CF HT.
How much did the rear lexan windscreen price out as? This will take it up bit more obviously, maybe $4000 - $4500.
Can you take more pics?

Looks as though you'll need to get the OEM side trim, over the windows as well, otherwise window won't seal properly. Appears to been removed in the mould process. The US aftermarket OEM reps left this blended in.

I don't think there are many people in Aus that make prepreg carbon.
Most do infusion because it's quicker and cheaper.
Do you know how much the carbon plus roof weight Hondaplease?

I did it this way because at the time, there was not anyone making this sort of roof, especially the oem style, with such regidity and weight. It is pointless for me going with cf if the cf roof is heavier than the oem aluminum roof.

xoz I will use the race brackets and will try to use the aftermarket rubber. The tinted acrylic costed me around $300 at the time.

H9k, go ahead and post the shop details. I expect there are a lot of people interested in this.

But if the shop wants to post themselves they will have to apply for sponsorship.

looks pretty good, that window trim and extra bits and pieces will need to be OEM to do properly. It'll finish up nice, what does the underside look like?

Pic of what will need to be OEM as per my HT.
