i'm looking for as many carbon fiber body parts for my civic as posibblt, mostly for racing purposes. However theres on thing i can't find. last year BMW displayed the M3 gtr show car. the entire car was silver but the roof panel was unpainted carbon fiber and it looked bad as hell. what i wanna know is how i can get a carbon fiber exterior roof panel for my civic?

if your dead set on hardcore racing, they make plenty one piece front ends outta fiberglass that weigh like 15lbs, plexiglass window replacements, fiberglass doors and shit.

but if you want carbon pieces, ive only seen trunks, fenders, and hoods so far, and like those dash kits. as for your roof, its prolly not made, and if you want, custom and alot of green.

If you want a roof in carbon fiber you're going to have to buy an entire back half of the body. It is all one piece from the taillights all the way up the c pillars to the roof and down the a pillars. you could have the roof clipped and a carbon panel put on there but in order to attach it and have it as strong as the stock you are going to have to add so many brackets and supports that you're going to add all the weight you just cut off. And just out of curiosity, How much $$$ do u have to spend?? Oh and that M3, The entire body is carbon fiber. So they just didnt paint the roof.
