Unfortunately we are not looking into making one with a provision for the sunroof. The most weight savings comes from removing the sunroof and the majority of our clients are trying to shed as much weight off the car as possible. If in fact there becomes a high demand for the carbon roof with a sunroof prevision then we will look into making one at that time as the cost for having a mold made is very high.

Guys,

I had one of these carbon roofs installed at AMS. It is factory quality, meaning you'd think it came from Mitz that way. Its super light, looks awesome and its CF for christ sake! LOL

One thing I noticed after having it installed and kind of upset about is in Redline TA rules, carbon roofs require a roll cage unless it came from the factory. With this type of quality and professionally installed I dont see why a cage is neccesary when it isnt with a stock Aluminum roof. AMS, help!

Again, AMS is the shiznit.
