Default I just saw an EG with a carbon fiber ROOF!

I've seen it all.

Yesterday night at the hangout, I saw a red EG(EH) that had a carbon fiber ROOF!!!!! Not a sticker, not a cover, a real roof. Made completely out of carbon fiber. Even had a little inverted scoop on it...The car also had no bumper on it, I guess he was trying to floss the intercooler. Looked like a show *** wannabe though. Car looked like crap. But the carbon roof is intresting. Who would make it? How much would it cost? would you actually save weight? would you gain rigidity?

It may have been real CF, but it had to have been laminated to the car's unibody. You can't cut the roof of a unibody car. Since you're adding another piece to the car rather replacing a heavy part with a light one, like a hood, it pretty much defeats the purpose of shelling out mad cash for a carbon fiber.
