The carbon slicktop thread

[deeznutz972]

RKP Roof: $1490
OEM Roof Bow: $116.46
CSL Headliner: 598.57
CSL Roof Molding: $524.55
Alcantara Headliner and Pillar Wrapping: $550
Sealing Gaskets: $83.01
Sound Dampening Material, 20sq ft: $117.17
Heat Insulation: Second Skin Mega Zorbe, 8sq ft: $137
Windshield: $437.53
Labor: $1500

This was a tally of what I receipts I had. There are other bits and pieces that I bought along the way, but those I decided to leave off since this is the crux of the build most people will use. Whatever else you replace is on you, but this was the majority of pieces you'll want. The windshield is subjective. I'm already taking it off, but might as well get new glass that isn't pitted.

You guys can debate prices on "you got ripped off" or "I got it at this price", but this is what I got and in the time of this pandemic, if you want a part, you pay for it. at least that's how I saw it...Good luck to the rest of you that go through this build.

$1500 to install wow that’s super cheap. It’s a big job!

We are still waiting to hear back from Karbonius.

If they ever respond and it's easier for them to do all the communicating in Spanish, I'd be happy to help out with that.

Yep spoke with Lang as well. Lang said $1260 for 5+ and $1125 for 10+. Shipping is approximately $200 depending on location within US.

Going to do a summary post of all the options soon and if we can get a consensus on who we want to go with, I'll start a separate thread. We are still waiting to hear back from Karbonius.

I think Lang or 2m both might not offer clear coated option.

I'm waiting for 2m to start on the sedan CF roof in 1x1. I've been talking to David mendoza from there. He had to buy a sedan OEM metal roof to make a mold for the sedan CF roof.

I still wouldn't benefit from a group buy since mine would be a 1 off compared to everybody else coupe roofs lol

Worth the uniqueness and exclusivity for sure.

2M charges 1700-1800 for the install if I recall.

The price you paid is the same price I've seen for the parts. Not sure what the labor would be at my shop.

Is local pickup available for us SoCal guys?

[Feffman]

I will go ask 2M Autowerks and get a quote for 5 and a quote for 10+.

I believe Sayed (fullyflaredd) has already contacted 2M.

Then maybe Karbonius is the best option as you can reuse non-csl rails?

[Feffman]

Don't count out 2m Autowerks. Seriously do great work.

Does 2M Autowerks manufacture their roof or are they a dealer for RKP, DTM, etc.?

[rbg]

Thanks! Keep us posted, please

[fullyflaredd]

I'm in SoCal as well and would be interested in joining a group buy. Have you guys considered Lang Racing?

What’s the parts total? Around $3k am I right? I think the trouble is the labor, which is maybe $6k?
