The carbon slicktop thread

[Ramo]

That is a nice feature that the Karbonius roof keeps the mountings for the roof rails.

What is the average cost to have a carbon roof installed?

I'm interested on the labor cost as well.

Some serious packaging indeed, but love it!



How about making some more carbon goodies for our E46 M3, IND?

This is how IND packs up these RKP roofs.

We take our packaging pretty seriously! Believe it or not, we recently received an actual complaint that we packaged an order with too much bubble wrap 😂

Obviously we're pretty partial to our RKP Carbon Roof. We also offer installs if you're local to the Chicago area; we've probably installed at least 20 roofs (across multiple chassis) over the years.

We still have some 1x1 weave (OE style) carbon roofs in stock, but unfortunately we're still out-of-stock on the 2x2 (unless someone is interested in a crazy custom red kevlar 2x2 carbon roof we've had on hand after a customer backed out 😐). And we're just about caught up on the 2x2 roof back-orders, so wait time on those shouldn't be bad.

2x2 VS 1x1:

Nice! I'll have to take a look if you're free Thanksgiving weekend! I don't think I'll be getting mine done until probably January-ish. I want my headliner redone in Alcantara, so just waiting on a few other things before getting it all done.



I'd wait until Black Friday and get the IND discount. Like I mentioned, if you were military you'd get 10% all year long. I was about to get it $1490 shipped.

Sounds good man, just shoot me a PM. I also did an alcantara headliner. Totally worth it.

There's always AF-1 for if you want to chance it. 😲

My CF roof is from RKP order through IND also. Fitment was spot on. Where are you located? I’m in Torrance and sounds like you might be close. If you want to check mine out let me know.

Well, RKP can be ordered from IND also. So my RKP roof should be here tomorrow. Just reached the Hawthorne, CA hub for me. So I'll know more this weekend....or next week when my work isn't so god damn busy.

RKP added $2,195

It's been a decade since I saw one in person, but from memory it's 1x1.

Genuine BMW uses 1x1 weave on their parts.

Thanks guys. Guess Karbonius is the only option if you want to get as close to OE as possible?
Edit: nevermind, seems like a bunch of them offer 1x1.

Also, all genuine parts are 1x1 except the airbox no?

Does anyone have experience with the RKP sold by Turner? Karbonius is 1x1 which would match the CSL rails but I know they are having some serious delays in production.
