Thank you for the information!!!!

with a botched install yes, but if done correctly even people with a real CF roof won't know the difference until they knock on it. which actually happened today with one of our sold orders who has a competition package M3. he thought you could order an FR-S with it and knocked on the roof 3 to 4 times just to make sure it wasn't real.

all we did was show what it could look like if toyota decided to come out with an even sparser model GT/FRS. maybe they could even use the CF loom for the LFA.

i think it looks better and it would look great on the firestorm or whiteout.

Pulling glass, drilling spot welds and so on.

Just do a wrap. Its funny as us with real carbon roofs will say wrap is smarter and better. But the guys that have no plans to do anything will call a roof wrap rice.

Hmm, tape on the roof of my car. I don't think so. That is pretty much the definition of rice isn't it? The look of a performance upgrade without the performance. San Francisco treat.

I can spot it a mile away. But I do like a dealer that is putting out an effort! Good Job !

And for those that want to know the work to install? I can do a quick write up on it.

Depends on where you live. People wrap their cars all the time. And to be honest. I like the idea if you live in an area where rock chips are common. Subaru paint sucks! You will learn that soon enough!

No idea what that is but my BRZ already has an aluminum hood which is damn light.

I like the look of the roof, but I'm not digging the stuff on the side or the rear. I'm hoping to actually just do a carbon hood on my car (yes, I know the hood is already aluminum). Nice to see some customization though. Also, this reinforces my color choice. I was thinking about the Hot Lava but it's definitely Argento all the way for me. The orange is cool but I prefer the classic look of the silver.

Lol I was rushing typing w my phone lol I meant to write aluminum roof

I like the way the dark roof carries through the front and rear glass. It works well visually.

reni · 05-30-2012, 11:22 PM

That will go real nice with one of those fake plastic blowers on top of the hood. Because, you know, a real supercharger is like expensive and stuff. Also some fake exhaust tips. At least 10 of them. And don't forget the huge stickers of Asian characters. The ones that say "Honda" are good enough, since they are probably the cheapest and it's not like anyone can read that shit anyway.

^ how bout keeping it positive.

chulooz · 05-31-2012, 01:44 AM

There really isnt a need for positive enforcement on race inspired cosmetic enhancements on a drivers car. No knocking necessary, anyone who has spent time around carbon can pickup on it immediately. If it was black I would agree that it can look cool, it but it is FAKE carbon fiber print it looks RICE.
