Love my carbon roof. I have one of the original IND e90m slick tops that were done. Roof has held up for over 9 years now.

Ive been wanting to do a CF roof on my slicktop e90 as i work in a shop and it would be a one day job. What stops me though is knowing i am taking a rare factory slicktop and basically removing its rareness in a sense.
Did you think about that at all? Mines is a high mileage so resale value is not a consideration for me. Just that purist theory i guess. |

Fire orange with the CF roof is going to blow my mind if I ever seen it in person! So hot!

Looks awesome! I've been on the fence for awhile but this thread might push me over the edge. I have a slick top already but can't get over the fact that I feel a carbon roof should've been an option from the factory. I assume once the spot welds are drilled out you have to cut through the urethane/body sealer that is there correct? Seems pretty straight forward. I'm one of the few here at work that does all the windshields and broken rear glass so that's no problem at all. Great work man!

We only cut through the body sealer to straighten out the line throughout the length of the car, making it easier to then apply a consistent bead of glue and then fully close that gap between the roof and the old body sealer. It was technically not really necessary to cut it out though, as the CF roof wasn't wider than the steel roof, so it fit in very nicely once the spot welds were gone We have a LOT more pics but did not post them all, as this is more than a simple DIY. But we have them if you want to see privately Last edited by SYT_Shadow; 02-02-2021 at 04:46 PM.. |

What an outstanding mod! Before I made my final decision to get an E90, I considered E92's but only if they had the CR roof.
Ridiculously insane "nuclear" upgrade and I appreciate the detail and the pictures! Congrats on having the guts/time/money/temporary insanity to pull it off Note: I do have a slicktop, and if I sell our other car, setup a payment plan with Slonik ... Quote:

Think of it as a wonderful asthetic mod...but that has the added bonus of increasing rigidity a smidge *and* lowering weight! Plus, It'll put a smile on your face every time you see it too, how do you put a price on that? :P

It isn't often aftermarket parts are at OEM level. The older I get, the fewer parts I think are 100% upgrades vs OEM. |

I reached out to him yesterday via whatsapp and he wasn't planning on doing an E92 roof as there are plenty of used roofs available, but maybe we can get a group buy together for them.
