Bare Speed Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi I started making a roof skin since my roof had so many dents in it. I used fiber glass and carbon fiber. Would anyone be interested in this part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm interested in seeing some pics of the mold and process. Eye candy is what will get peoples attention. Also. How many layers of fabric, and what type of weave? Are you using polyester ,or epoxy? Is there a clear gel coat to give it some UV protection since it's on the top of the car? Also, there are some other members here that have done that, which turned out pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin.pk Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd definitely be interested depending on price and quality. I'm looking for an alternative to welding in a new roof to get rid of my sunroof. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bare Speed Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi here are some answers layers of fabric, and what type of weave? fiberglass with gelcoat. carbon weave will be the 3k stuff. looks like all other types of CF 5 layers of FG and 1 layer of CF to keep the cost down. I anyone is intersted in full CF let me know. Are you using polyester ,or epoxy? Epoxy resign with UV coating. Is there a clear gel coat to give it some UV protection since it's on the top of the car? UV clear coat. also this will be a cover or replacement roof. I think is will fab up some kind of addtional bracing since the top will be cut out. thanks for the response. I will make a mold of it after I finish. I should have some pictures up this week.

cockerstar Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I might take one of these depending on price/quality. I just did a sunroof patch, but I'm not completely happy with the finished product. edit: thought I might mention that the CF wouldn't mean much to me at all, so a straight FG one to keep costs down would be appealing if it is significantly cheaper.

ckolander Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm assuming that this is again for the S30 crowd, when is anyone ever gonna show some love to the S130's? It turns out that marble sized hail is not friendly to the top of my Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
