would anyone be interested in a carbon fiber roof for the ef civic/crx hatch? i know this guy jamie in MD who can make em, great quality. he needs 3 for sure buyers to make it. it shaves about 35 pds off the top of the car, which makes a big difference if you're auto-x or circuit racing. thats with just the replacement so u can still open n' close it. if you choose to get the plug, the weight savings will be more, and it'll cost a bit less. right now i think the replacement is going for 350...anyone interested?

never worry about rust...

 

I'm confused- is this a moon roof replacement, or is it a roof replacement?

 

moon/sun roof

 

is it all carbon or fiberglass backed, and does it use stock mountings

 

its all carbon fiber...

uses a layer of carbon, with a layer of kevlar, then another layer of carbon. Jamie said that its strong enuf for him to stand on his roof. . but if you're using it as a replacment roof, it will mount to rails and use the stock rubber insulation. If you're just using it as a fill in, then use silicone to weather proof it.

I can totally back this guy Jamie. I have stood on his roof and it is super strong. What this says is correct. They look really nice and yes it goes in place of the sunroof or you can keep the function of the sunroof.

also you can ask for it to be shinny or dull. If it is shinny then it will not be as strong because of the amount of resin in the material. If you would like it dull it will be stronger but not bling bling. Either way, still looks good.

If you would like a plug, it revits to the car and if you want function, it just goes inplace of the glass.

 

i'm interested in it, how much for the plug and not the replacement, but will consider either

 

hey im in md, can you get him to make a cf rear hatch ?

 

If the price is right, I will buy a dull one. I would also need one that replaces my factory sunroof plug. 89 CRX si. Thanks, Ryan

 

yeah im interested in a cf rear hatch, the whole door. thanks

 

how about that CF rear hatch , i have seen one before on an EG looks pretty nice and i bet it reduceda good amount of weight how about one for EF's?

 

actually most of the weight lies in the glass on the rex's , a CF hatch would be very time consuming and I dont think the cost would warrant the weight savings.

heres a pic of the two sunroof plugs I've done so far....







the pictures dont really do the final product justice , but you can see they are all CF/kevlar construction , no fiberglass **** here , total weight of the plugs is less than a lb.

 

Thats so sweet! How much would you sell one like that for a crx?

 

price would be 350 for a functional , a litte less than that for a non functional one that would be permanently affixed to the car , weould need three people ready to buy to get this going....

Jaime - Did you ever get a sunroof from a CRX to make the mold off of for the functional panel?

I'm starting my own sunroof plug project, but now I have two sunroof panels from a CRX laying around in my garage. The one I took off of my CRX last night - the chunks of rust that fell out of it were everywhere!!! But the other one I have from a junkyard isn't nearly as bad.

The plug you made on the white car looks really, really nice...super high quality.

Alex

 

any pics of the functional one with the sunroof opened?

havent made one yet , I do still need a mold

I'll give you a good price if ya let me borrow it

 

so the sunroof stays functional??? completely?
if so whats the turn around time to make these things. how long i got to git this cash

and i'll put up my sunroof for a mold. if u cut me a lil slack on the price.

edit. 1991 CRX si. is my car

 

Hey I am with escocrx. I will have an 88 si and want a completely functional one. Also I am in Va

 

I'd like one as long as it is secure, airtight, easily removable for cruising, and won't fly off when I'm playing on the interstate!

 

damn, that looks REALLY good!!!!!
way way better then mine came out... how much you selling them for? i might get one in stead of my kevlar one. see ya!!!
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every one should buy.

I would be interested in the whole door, if you ever think about producing any other parts.

i'd definately have a non-functional plug if it looked like that.
and if you'd post it to the uk
