Carbon Fiber Roof!!
I have never heard of it.. Seen it.. Etc.. You know the M3 2009 I believe has it.. You know!! CARBON FIBER ROOF!! So one of my project Supras just so happens to be a Sport roof.. I wonder if I could have someone put together a carbon fiber replacement. That way I could trim some weight (in a place I doubt it is needed since it is not connected to the car anyways) and get a cool look..
What do you think?? CARBON FIBER ROOF to replace my SPORT ROOF?? :wavey:YES!! |
No weight to be saved at all... just get a hard top if weight is your primary concern. Someone in Colorado Springs had a one-off made (for a couple thousand dollars)..... the thing was still almost as heavy as a stock roof. But hey, if you've got the money to spend on the development and fabrication, go for it.

targa tops arent all that heavy.. and the weight is a good thing.. drive the car with the top on.. than take it off. notice a difference? a tad wishy washy, car feels like somethings missing? yea its your roof.

well clear smokey colored. you can see through it but offers protection from the sun like a sun roof / moon roof does.

So put a sunroof in the targa.
It's possible to have a lighter targa top that's lighter than stock... CF or FB with an aluminum skeleton... it's just going to cost you a TON. As for rigidity when the top is out, a lot of people have built X braces to mount in place of the roof piece for additional support. |
I seen a carbon fiber targa top on eBay and some other site for like 300-400$
