Have they Created a Carbon Fiber Sticker Yet??

That is Designed to fit and stick onto the evo roof? I want to have that carbon fiber roof look, and ive found some carbon fiber sheets but there all too small an non have the size of my roof or nowhere near so i can cut it.

Also dont want that cheap carbon fiber sticker that looks like ****. ive found some sheets that look pretty good, even have that glossy 3D cf look. looked pretty nice just to small of sheets they sold.

And no i dont want to put a cf roof. 1 im scared they might do a ****ed up job and leave leaks all over it. and 2, its way expensive for being 1 pound lighter then original. thanks!

Yes, its made by 3M.

Its called 3M Di-Noc Vinyl. Looks just like dry carbon. It is textured vinyl.

yea or you can buy sebion carbon fiber roof overlay. if you have sunroof cut it. i was thinking about doing this. the roof is like 900-1200. i would take it to a paint shop get the clear sanded down then redon so no chance at yellowing first then install it.

^That Seibon overlay is terrible. It fits terrible......and whats the point of putting carbon on top of metal?? You are paying $1000 to add weight to your roof. Pointless.

your question was answered by boosting. you can always lay the cf yourself if your soooooooo concerned about weight and i hope you gutted your car if your worried about at the most 10 lbs it added and i doubt that seriously as my cf roof for my z weights less then 5 lbs.

FYI the main purpose of a carbon fiber roof is to lower the center of gravity of the car. What seems like only a few pounds lost is actually significant weight reduction from the highest part of the car. With that being said most people will never reap the benefits of such a modification on a street car, but it can make a noticable diffrence on a track car. Adding weight buy installing an overlay will add weight to one of the worse places to add weight & raise the center of gravity a little. Again this isn't too big of a deal on a street car but is just food for thought.
