I was wanting to no if anyone knows how you would mount this? Whould you have to cut the factory roof or does this bolt on.

 

*Due to the products size you will need to CALL IN FOR A SHIPPING QUOTE. Please allow up to three weeks for shipment if not in stock. AMS recommends professional installation by a qualified body shop.

The jist I get from that is it needs quite a bit of work

The roof is to save weight so a bolt on would add weight.

 

it is far from a bolt in or overlay...the factory roof has to be removed by drilling ou the spot welds and replaces as follows...mkae sure whoever does it know what they are doing really good or you will end up with a disaster and leaks

 

My sould like a noob ? but how would you put the roof on then if you don't bolt it on for the top part of the X is metal

 

Read read read and the truth will set you free...

 

I'm under the impression that you are looking for a carbon fiber look to your roof and not an actual carbon fiber ROOF. the ams carbon fiber roof is not for a casual DD car. I could be wrong and maybe you do want to replace your roof.

if you just want the CF look, there is vinyl sticker you can get put on your roof for ~100 bucks.

It is very easy to get a CF look if thats what you wish to achieve. Just like Gexxer mentioned, a simple vinyl sticker would do the trick.

The AMS CF roof would not be cheap to get. The point of it is to shave weight off the X which is vital in time attack evos. I might not have read up on everything, but installation of a roof is extremely stressful and definately not DIY. You would also need to remove both the front windshield and rear. Getting a professional to install the CF roof will add a significant amount of labor cost to the already expensive roof.

But, if you wish to go for it, it is definately a piece worth getting. At least its not a piece that only looks good, but also give you a slight performance gain (in terms of weight loss).

 

the stock roof does need to be cut out. atleast it did on the ct9a

 

The AMS CF roof is barely 1 pound lighter than the stock aluminum roof.

 

This isn't a Roof Cap, its a full replacement

To install, this is a rough guide of what you would need to do:
First you need to remove headliner, then front windshield, followed by rear window, rain gutters and anything else that could get in the way. Drill out the spot welds, I believe there is also glue underneath also? Not 100% positive

Then you need to add glue (black, probably a weather sealant as well) to the top frame of the car, set CF Roof, then drill holes in the roof for rivets. Replace rain gutters, install windows, put back interior.... and oh... the best one... YOU MIGHT WANNA HAVE A ROLL CAGE I wouldn't trust a CF roof with out a roll cage.

This is probably not for everyone, and most likely not a DIY project unless you are VERY handy and hands on type of person, and have all the proper tools.

Hope some of this helps.
