Default Carbon fiber roof

Hello everyone,

I’ve been looking into having some make and install a carbon fiber roof for me. I’m located in Southern California and wonder if anyone has any suggestions or ideas of places that actually do this. I have not been able to find a single shop that does. I saw someone here has it done. Any incite would be great. Thanks.

That’s steep but I’m sure it’ll have noticeable gains. If it were cheaper I’d jump on it.

You going to add the details to the trunk like the M4? I never noticed it until i say my buddy's M4 today that the roof and trunk line flows together.

After seeing his M4 today, which is fully loaded including the HUD, i'm a bit envious of the tech and details of the car.

yeah, i suppose. forgot to never compare a BMW to a Lexus on this forum... some of us like the looks of it and it stops there.
no jealousy here, just said i was envious about the technology...which all fails/gets obsolete at one point or another and Lexus isn't immune to it.

We will all be as one when we expect Lexus to pay for our valley plate leaks, melted dash/panels and failed navigation screens, etc. Or wonder why our 10yr+ old ISF can't sell for $30k. Pardon my sarcasm....
I love my F as much as the next guy but don't knock me for pointing out the tech of other cars.
