There is no way to actually replace the roof. Also, the loads that are put on the roof would do bad things to CF. Yea, CF is really strong when setup to take a load in the correct direction. However, a CF roof I doubt would be able to handle it.

can i get a CF badgeless egg crate grille? can i get it in blue to match my wheels? im going to just have the grille ive got painted blue - but i think ill get more of a midnight blue than the wheels. hey if you are going to pimp out a C70 why not go all out?

how about a CF strut brace front and rear? how else can i get my coupe to loose weight? (besides taking the powder coating off the wheels)

A hood is a bit big for me to do, but I could see doing some lips.

I think we could pull off a hood or two especially since I'm doing a lot more fiberglass work at my new job. I think between the two of us we could make something fairly awesome and sell it for crazy money. Then I could retire at 35. lol. I have seriously been considering doing some fenders just for she-its and giggles to see how they turn out. Find me a spare hood and a warm place to work (preferably near a strip club) and maybe in a few months these guys could see a hood.

Good luck, there is nowhere near a large enough market for a boser 850 hood, stock maybe...

another +1 for the 850 R lip.

I could make a glass hood no problem. It would take me about a day start to finish. I also have over 20 vacuum pumps of various strengths. Assuming I could produce one hood per day, $1000/8hrs-costs=not worth my time. I'd be better off at the office. A lip isn't much better but at least I can fit that in after work.
