i have one of the few 37s without a sunroof. to me it wouldn't seem to make sense to make a cf roofcap without sunroof because of the small amount there are without it

Looks great. I am worried as well about the XM antenna.

They are only attached using 3M tape. I am assuming the easiest way is just to cover the XM antenna with black vinyl and reapply it to the CF cap.

Without looking at the sunroof in person I can guess that we can create a mold of a sunroofless roof. And for those who want the sunroof we could cut the dimensions. The best way to give both worlds what they want.

I love the idea of a carbon fiber roof, but I dont love the fact your willing to say your roof cap will be better then company XYZ and you haven't even see a G37 with sunroof yet.

I also don't like all the imperfections you can clearly see in the 370z clear coat. Do you have a booth you spray these in becase that's alot of dust in that clear.

Not knocking your product but if I'm going to get a roof overlay, we now have multiple options.

Are you guys using a resin that will not yellow under UV exposure? It's gonna suck to have that thing turn yellow after a while.

I did mention the part was not clear coaed or finished and is dirty due to the fact it was just pulled out and just wiped down with water just to clear it up a little bit.

And yes everything is sprayed in a full size automotive spray booth.

I am bumping this to see the interest!
