The carbon slicktop thread

[repoman89]

^ 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

Somebody posted some pictures of a slicktop conversion done on an Imola on M3F just before the site when down and it looks fan-fn-tastic.

Interesting, I wonder if someone can mock up those spacers and that might work the same.

Yep, epoxy is the most logical solution. Unless we could design a 3d printed spacer or something that the rails could adhere to that are then taped to the roof rail. Do the OEM CSL rails use double sided tape?

yes, if you look at the pictures on ECS, they show you where the double sided tape makes contact.
