if money+time is not an issue, i dont see any problems with the cf roof, so long as its sealed properly. but like most people who dont ball that hard, i’d agree its a waste of time+money and is mostly for that show factor rather than for “practicalness”

That is really cheap considering kognition sells for 200USD a sunroof cover out of carbon fiber.

Now the question is, is it just a visual cover or an actual roof replacement… roof replacements cost a pretty penny… i know where to get them in the UK… a couple of guys did them… yes it does save weight duh… no its never cheap to be above the rest. It’s really for someone with a cage and you get what you pay for. Take a wild guess how much more expensive the CSL m3 was vs the regular M3…

I see nothing wrong with it, it’s a roof skin. You keep the metal structure underneath intact, and you’re just replacing the skin. If your car has no sunroof, and the roof is in good shape, I wouldn’t bother, but this is a pretty sexy way to get rid of the sunroof.
