that roof cover is soooo pathetic, OMG! U wanna look like U have an M3? Or U wanna look like U have a light hood like from M3? OMG! U'll look like a cheapo fool, everyone will see the difference.

And that CF hood is more expensive like the Vorsteiner one. Go and ask the guys @ Jlevi for price, too much $$ to be wasted on ebay.

Who said that Vorsteiner is going to come uou with CF roof in the first place?

I do not mind a stick-on carbon cover as long as it is hard dry carbon. I was going to paint my roof anyway. As somebody has mentioned, there is too much risk of material turning yellow under CA sun.
