Getting IND carbon fiber roof!

Pearlwhitem3 · 02-27-2012, 10:31 AM

Ordered new black rails. Only 90.00 each.

Nate@IND · 02-27-2012, 11:47 AM

Looks so clean! Congrats again on the new carbon roof

Install was pretty simple correct?

Pearlwhitem3 · 02-27-2012, 09:53 PM

He seemed to know exactly what needed to be done. It will be awesome as soon as the new rails are installed

datbimmerdoe · 02-28-2012, 07:41 PM

WOW, looks flawless!

tlr · 03-01-2012, 05:19 PM

How about a CF roof for E93s?

klammer · 03-01-2012, 09:01 PM

Car looks awesome! Love it

kiln · 03-02-2012, 06:27 AM

How is the quality of the roof itself. I hear in certain lighting/angles you can see it has dimples in it.

Pearlwhitem3 · 03-02-2012, 11:08 AM

At the right angle you can see the fiber dimples. I am inquiring about wet sanding. There is also what appears to be a blemish in the middle. I need to send a pic to ind and see what we can do about it. The dimpled affect isn't very bad and if anything just shows off that it is real carbon fiber

nick3753 · 03-04-2012, 09:07 PM

Black rails on yet?

HAS · 03-05-2012, 07:37 AM

Nice mods

FlyingBros · 03-05-2012, 10:09 PM

Fresh composite parts not post cure in the oven will print through the gel coat. Just bake the roof in the sun for a couple of hrs then wet sand and re clear the roof.

Pearlwhitem3 · 03-12-2012, 02:45 PM

New black rails showed up matte! Not gloss.

Tracking down the right rails. Taking forever

Pearlwhitem3 · 03-16-2012, 11:05 PM

New rails painted gloss today, getting installed tomorrow

kchu221 · 03-17-2012, 10:22 AM

How difficult is it to remove & reinstall the new rails?

Pearlwhitem3 · 03-17-2012, 06:58 PM

Because of the carbon roof, the rails have to be glued in!

So if you need to take the roof off for whatever reason, looks like you may need new rails if something breaks...

Pearlwhitem3 · 03-23-2012, 04:34 PM

FlyingBros · 03-23-2012, 06:48 PM
