Your carbon hood CAN fly off. It gets torn off the skeleton by the wind. Hood pins should be a must when getting a carbon hood.

Are you getting the roof replacement or just the cover? If you're getting the replacement I wouldn't worry too much about the roof.

Not that higher of a risk. If you have a carbon fiber hood and trunk I would break into your car, disable the alarm, pop your hood and trunk and use a power tool to unbolt. Be done in no time...hypothetically. Just for the hell of it, I'll take your camera too!

You literally are not going to be able to steal either the hood and trunk as someone else said without smashing a window or attempting to lockout slim jim the lock which regardless will set the alarm off on a BR-Z at least...
