I saw the 2M Autowerks IG post today displaying your car with the CF roof! Nice!!

Happy to finally knock this mod off my bucket list! I waited a long time collecting parts and wondering if it would be worth it. It definitely was. It really makes the car feel and look better in every way. This, along with all of the other weight reduction mods, has made the car feel truly lightweight, dynamic, and responsive.

Big thanks to 2M Autowerks for a great install.

It takes a competent windshield guy less than 30 minutes to get most windshields out minus disconnecting and removing cameras and sensors.

Sure doesn’t look like 30 minutes to me to do it right. My glass guy is doing my E39 windshield right now and has been here for a couple hours already. Dude is meticulous and does all the glass work for two of the highest end body shops here as well as for Turner.

anyone know who makes the best fitting sedan roof?

2M Autowerks has a sedan roof in stock, just saw it today. Looked awesome.

What are yall using instead of R1 cleaner for surface prep before bonding? The R1 stuff seems to be NLA.

Might ask who makes the roofs.

Vorstiner and I think ECS was making one but you need to ask for it as made to order.

Here's a parts list for my carbon roof install. This is all the stuff I had to order from the dealer. Luckily my friend works there and got me great prices on everything, but this does give you a good ballpark of necessary parts not including roof and headliner.

nextelbuddy has a CF sedan roof I believe. He would know.

He also has the sexiest e46 sedan in GA

It's not tacky, CF roof on the PY looks good. Tacky is when you try to implement to much CF everywhere. Even the CSL scoops looks good.

I'll consider it, the weight savings up top are so worth it.
