I've been looking to do this on the roof as well. What's the total cost like $5k?

Are you the guy with the DIY quick fit pro video? lol

Again, looks absolutely awesome!
Thanks! Labor is roughly $2-3K. There's a lot of work involved and a few options to choose (ie paint or wrap rails/shark fin, etc).

Total cost ranges from $4-5K depending on options (new non-sunroof head liner, new windshield, paint or wrap roof rails/shark fin?, etc).

Yup that's me. I learned a lot from the forums so I try to give back now and then.


Updated pics of the completed hood. The entire hood is painted Ti Silver but under certain lighting the vents create shadows. These pics were taken during sun rise.

Would love to know how that roof cross bow attaches to the body, if OP remembers. Welded or bolted? Looks like it could be installed even with the roof still attached?

(I'm planning to install a CF sunroof delete panel, figure the bow is a good idea even with a roll bar)

(Apologies for waking an old thread)

Waking a dead thread 2 years later, I would like to know this answer also regarding the roof cross bow added.
