Personally I think the idea of a CF roof is out of tune compared to the rest of the car. There is no doubts on its performance benefits but the cost of including such a part doesn't seem feasible for a car with the current selling price.

I have a Carbon Fibre Targa on my Supra and it weighs like 1-2 lbs less than the Aluminum OEM Targa (Previous owner put it on after losing his OEM targa on the highway, FnF style

) . There is no point in a CF roof, not even looks.

but i'm talking about Australia since both of us are from down under.

STI and 8MR above are JDM models only. not available brand new here.

what's the point with talking about US price? are you paying the US price for your 86?
