Default Fiberglass roof plug crx.

I seen the carbon fiber one and I just can't see paying $400.00 for it. Do you guys know where I can get the fiberglass one?

One of our members offers them in both CF and FG. And looks like he's been on here a while so may be you can trust him.

Here is a good alternative. I have not purchased this but it is a good alternative, hit the seller up with some questions.

Looks better than CF IMO.

No searching does not own me, I did that. I am asking for the Fiberglass one not the carbonfiber one. I am not paying $400.00 for that.

Carbon prices have soared lately so dont feel like these companys are ripping you off.
Expect a huge increase in steel products also if it keeps going up.

My Lexan roof has been on my track car for 1.5 yrs with no warping, cracking, or discoloration. It still looks new and is sealed perfect. What is wrong with yours? or are you just making stuff up?

The Lexan is cheaper but there are drawbacks; you have to drill a bunch of holes in your roof (no going back to a regular sunroof without body work), it exposes the sunroof frame to the car's interior (if you are worried about looks). But it is quick, cheap, easy, and it holds up well.

I know the carbon has gone up, and I know about the pricing. They have to price it that high if there going to make any money.

This will not be a daily driver but it is going to be drive a lot so I don't know if a Lexan roof would be good. I'll keep looking, maybe make my own.

right now lexan might be your only choice, there is a how to for it somewhere. it looked good from what i remember.
you can probably paint or tint it and you can use a hf headliner so you dont have to see the plug from inside the car.

WOW, that is pretty cool, and I could have my mother in-law cut some for me (she woks at a glass place). But I see what some people say about sagging, that could be bad. Maybe I could have some sheet metal cut out on a wet jet? ummm maybe.........

has anyone bought one of these yet: http://www.visionmotorworks.com/88hocrxsicaf.html

I've seen them on eBay a lot lately and the price is actually dropping. First couple ended ridiculously high and now they are going for like $200. $195, doesn't seem too unfair.
