Default Silver carbon fiber

I just finished putting my hardtop on for the summer. It’s been an ongoing topic (for me anyway) because it was silver when I bought it. I have a couple reasons why I use the hardtop but cutting down on heat soak in the brutal FL summers is one of them.

I was putting the car up and I had left my free dive fins out from last weekend.

Pretty close match considering

Aside from watching a couple of videos, I have no clue how to try to make my own cf hardtop

Not bad for $50! I think 5x6 would cover the hardtop

Looking forward to seeing it! How long does the paint have to cure before you can put it on the car? Hard top is an anathema in the summer up here. But we're not as far south as you!
