Getting IND carbon fiber roof!

bigjae1976 · 03-23-2012, 07:05 PM

Even though I am anti-CF...that looks really good! How much weight did you save?

Pearlwhitem3 · 03-23-2012, 08:24 PM

New roof only weighs 9 lbs.

Did you start with the moonroof? And if so how much did that weigh? Car looks awesome! Great job

Just standard roof. No sunroof. Regular roof is approx. 30lbs.

My goodness that looks perfect!

I'll be doing a CSL CF Roof on my E46 M3 next month, I can't wait! Hopefully one day, I can do the same to my E90 M3.

Anybody local out there. I stopped by the RTC exotics today. It's pretty crazy. Goes on till 11, come check it out.

Without sunroof 25~30lbs.
With Sunroof 50~60lbs

Looks awesome OP!!

klammer · 03-25-2012, 10:12 AM

That's some legit weight savings and looks awesome. Enjoy

Singletrack · 03-25-2012, 11:19 AM

New rails are essential for people who find beauty in the details : ) Looks awesome!

GOVCO · 03-25-2012, 01:21 PM

Looks great! I alos like the 3M film on your headlights. Thought about doing this as well. Now I see I like them.

I was going to say the same thing... I would paint the rail black or order it. Great looking mod!

Moxie · 03-31-2012, 07:11 AM

Wow - Roof looks much better with the gloss black rails - You gotta be happy - Congrats.

nick3753 · 04-01-2012, 09:31 AM

It looks amazing. It baffles me why they couldn't offer this from the factory. Do you mind if I ask how much in total this ended up costing? It might make me rethink only looking at e92 if it is reasonable.

Pearlwhitem3 · 04-01-2012, 09:08 PM

Overall cost with new windshield was around 3k. Worth it in my opinion. IND, says it is approx. 1of 20 in the u.s.

Is this about what the normal cost for parts + intall runs? or is that cheaper then usual?

Also does IND have people they can recommend in other areas for install?

M3PO · 04-06-2012, 03:31 PM

The texture of the weave coming through the resin really needs to be knocked down.

Pearlwhitem3 · 04-06-2012, 11:33 PM

I'm considering doing some wet sanding. Haven't quite decided yet.

DjZotic · 04-09-2012, 02:27 AM

You my man, have some balls of steel.....My hat is off to you

Powerbeast · 07-26-2012, 01:05 AM

Looks great I'm very happy to see you went with black rails.
