Carbon Fiber Sunroof
Hey guys check this out, I am making my own carbon fiber sunroof, almost done with it but I'm a little busy lately. Let me know what you think. I should have it on my car in a week or 2 at most.

well yes and no, I dont know what you mean wrap the factory glass, I did it the pro way or best way I can without using injection. I casted a mold of my factory glass. The carbon fiber weave pattern is perfect huh? Matches OEM spoiler pattern and has most tensile strength. My buddy with an evo 9 got me the sheets.

umm it's going to be functional I want the downforce, and I didn't reinforce the **** out of it for nothing. I'm going to make some custom brackets to make it a bolt on. But I'm not too sure if it will come back down from tilt properly for the weatherstrip but I test placed it on with tape only and it seems to fit well with the weatherstrip. I'm not too worried I might just have to push it down if and edge of the weatherstrip gets caught and if I want it closed. I'm also not worried about any small leaks, the ssl if equipped with a drainage system for sunroof you can see the front holes in the corners easily. I have driven in rain with the sunroof tilted if it doesnt rain hard cuz I smoke.
