M3 Style Carbon Fiber Roof Lava FR-S

We got our test model Lava yesterday and while looking at it, it looked like it needed something to break the color. Custom Graphics from San Diego which is one of our vendors did it less than 2hrs by hand and looks like it should come that way from the factory.

Nice, looks almost legit. Not my style personally. I also don't like the colored emblems, but this is what Scion has been all about as a brand. Customization. So I'm glad to see you guys living the Scion life with your demo car, and showing off just some simple things owners can do. Hopefully this will lead to some more sales to keep this vehicle alive and growing.

I don't think a "carbon" roof looks good with that color.

i think it looks better in lighter color like the whiteout cause it stands out more, it gives it a better contrast. the E92 M3 look better in white or light grey vs. the black i think because of the contrast in color.

i think they did a great job considering this was their first FR-S. looking at the fit and finish when things died down a bit with all our sold orders and wait listers coming in, it looks OEM.

You do not want a full carbon roof. The work to install it is way too much work.
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.
