The carbon slicktop thread

[ugaexploder]

Talked to 2M Autowerks today. $2000 covers the installation AND the removal + reinstallation of front and rear glass. Going to get started with the install next week.

Also, they are going to use my slicktop headliner to make a mold and start producing slicktop headliners. So everyone that wants a headliner should have access to them soon.

That is so cheap.. these shops usually subcontract glass work usually $500 because they have to remove and install. I also didn’t see panel bond glue mentioned.. that stuff isn’t cheap either. They are basically doing it for $1000 after it’s all said and done.

Not to mention these guys have probably done a ton of these conversions so cheap and good? Not sure if you guys know how lucky you are lol.

Their roof is $2k and the labor figure they and others keep saying is another $2k

Ah ok. Yeah, you will need a CSL roof bow and slicktop headliner. Other than that, just trim stuff.

Who said anything about $4k? What is that in reference to?

I will say that I am buying a new OEM windshield, new front and rear windshield trim, a CSL roof bow, and a new front windshield cowl. Gonna try to do all the other trim at the same time as well.

What I want to know is, for $4k plus tax, do you have to provide ANY parts? Or is that a complete arrive and drive type of thing?

Oh well then…that’s interesting. Good move as the oem headliners are now NLA.

I want to do it, but i don't want to make my phoenix yellow look tacky, I also think painting it kind of defeats the purpose
Conflicted.

Alright so it’s a thing, I still think it’s stupid but what do I know.

There is worse out there. Once I saw an ///M AMG Type R RS badged 530i with an ebay rear wing...mounted backwards. He was Asian...and we officially disowned him...hence the fact that he WAS Asian.

The carbon fiber roof with sunroof

[Slideways]

Is that the red car that other guy was saying he saw for sale?

No, it is the one Heinz posted the link to.

That is interesting, confusing, but not surprising I guess haha. My bet is still on it's a wrap. Unless that one car just so happens to have a very oddly specific old school piece on it (which it could)

m3dragon's car had no expense spared on it. He bought it brand new and did a full CSL build with a 100k+ spreadsheet. That is a real carbon Vorsteiner roof. He swapped it out for OE CSL later on.

Vorsteiner used to make a CF roof panel with the sunroof cutout back in the day: https://e46m3.bimmerpost.com/forums/...4&postcount=27
