yeah well they can always have a cutout for car with and with out sunroofs, and i think they would be more then happy to do a group buy, they already told me that they would measure and the carbon fiber to the specs of my car. so if we find a member that is willing to help out a few fellow members we can have the company get dimentions of the center trim the door handles,etc etc. and all we have to do is buy it and apply it. someone post a thread asking if anyone live in the Elbridge, New York area.

I called DragonPlate up, they can cut a piece exactly to fit the roof if someone can get the measurements. Estimating they said it would be about 350. The 3M UV film would be 120 more if you dont want permant. They suggest using a paint shop to do a layer of clear coat so it will not yellow and last just as long as your paint. They have had customers do it before and looks great.
In all probably around 500 to do a CF roof.

$500 for a cf roof sticker? I can 100% guarantee that crap will fade and yellow if not peel right off your car. You're better of getting a REAL carbon fiber roof cap from Mastergrade. They just released their G37 roof cap, the G35 is soon to follow. Plus they guarantee their parts won't fade or yellow for the life of the vehicle and it's LESS then $500 (depending on Sunroof or not). This stuff might be good for wrapping interior pieces, but I wouldn't touch that stuff with the outside of my car.

As far as the uv protection, my friend had this on the top of his trunk (to cover wing holes) for about a year and it didn't fade forn UV damage. usually when i see cases of " UV Damage" it is on hoods or trunks that were poorly laminated. looking at the product closer that it was probably pre preg carbon and very well made. they are available if different thicknesses and finishes. the only wn side is that is it is somewhat expensive for what it is.
