^ I recognize that garage and car, bought my ZCP wheels from him. Nice dude, nice car and cool conversion. Personally I’d just go CF at that point, it’s mostly labor cost anyway. Unless these stupid roof rails become impossible to source or obscenely expensive
Haha yep - good buyer too I actually bought the CSL rails at that price and had them painted imola to delete the rack flaps.
Packaging is heft! Box weighs 35 lbs (mostly the box) and tons of protection. Each 90 degree bend is protected by reinforced cardboard edge protector. I have yet to open the bubble wrap.
Picked this over Karbonius because this vendor is on the forum, quicker delivery (~1 month wait from order to doorstep), no tax, and having a US contact is much better than Spain.
some in process pictures before the windows were installed. Since I couldnt source the CSL roof rails instock, i just painted the oe ones and reinstalled.
Also, wanted to show a picture of the slicktop headliner, pillars and rear decklid in Genuine Anthracite Alcantara.
All jobs done as diy - clutch, rod bearings, rear subframe rebush, vanos, headers, cooling, suspension, etc.
PM for help in NorCal. Have a lot of specialty tools - vanos, pilot bearing puller, bushing press kit, valve adjustment, fcab, wheel bearing, engine support bar, etc.
The Karbonius CF roof I got had tabs just like the OEM Steel roof so it was easy to just get my original rail painted black and reuse it. I think Karbonius might be the only company that does the tabs on the roof for that, the rest are all blank like the OEM one so you are forced to use CSL rails or rig up a way to get your original ones to mount.
For any of you military guys out there, IND offers 10% off for military. So I was able to order the RKP 1x1 weaved carbon roof for essentially retail, saving myself on the shipping compared to other outlets that offer the roof at $1500, plus tax, plus shipping which may end up around $17-1800.
