carbon fiber roof cap

Please, give me advice for carbon fiber roof cap.
I have a evo 8 with sunroof. I got some damage on roof, then I am thinking of getting roof cap. Someone knows where I can get carbon fiber roof cap. Usually, I see it online is one without sunroof... or it does not exsist the one with sunroof?

Probably doesn't exist with sunroof. Most people swap out roof's for weight reduction. Could look into a stock roof and have it swapped.

AMS sells one also. The STM shop car seems to be really pleased with it.

technically thats a replacement roof, not a cap. trust me i found out the hard way, i have a huge sheet of carbon fiber at my house aka seibon roof cap, because i thought it was a actual replacement at a cheaper price

i should have gotten the AMS version

I'm making this for my car right now and I can make extra if you want one pm me, check out my thread in the general evo section, all your questions were probably already asked there.

oh nevermind is your damage on the roof part or glass part?

Yeah, I've heard bad things about the roof caps. The AMS one looks pretty legit, but that's probably why the cost is higher than Wiz Kalifa. Maybe next year for tax season,... my sunroof is going out anyways, lol
