If Pass comes out with a hard top just make sure the fit and finish is on point! I had the carbon fiber air bag tray from PWJDM in my 93 eg6 and there was gaps every where! It looked nice but if it would just sit flush I would have been happy. Still a great company!

the point of Kevlar in composites is that it holds the piece together if something impacts it. carbon shatters in thousands of little spears. with Kevlar woven in, it holds together and is much safer. it makes sense for a hardtop (especially if it is over a cage).

It doesnt make any sense for stuff like intakes and heat shields.

That being said, it would be ugly as crap on my NFR . But, that is what paint is for!

voted yes, my .02c add a side window to reduce blind spot and make it accept rear glass not plexi. Also offer it in a cheaper fiberglass version for the people who wish to paint it body color like myself.

Why not just weave black kevlar into it? Why is that so hard? If you put ANY Color on it it's going to look like you bought it from ebay.

Also, I agree with the side windows to eliminate blind spots... just that option alone would make it sell better than any top currently marketed.

What cars do you currently make hardtops for? Would be nice to see the direction your going.
