Carbon Fiber Sunroof.
�
�
I searched, and the one thread about it did not come up with any answers, so here it goes again:
I do not believe anyone makes a CF Sunroof for the CG8 impreza. Does anyone know a company that might be able to make one?

I know Adam (awjunkies) has one for his gc8. It was custom made
| powerlabs | 05-25-2005 06:39 PM |
Really? Do you know who made it?
| thechoochman28 | 05-28-2005 06:45 PM |
well...just guy that did carbon fiber work on the side. But he's not around anymore It's a long story.

Taking it a little further, a buddy of mine is doing a CF roof. Its still being worked on, not a WRX but you get the idea.

| Lennon | 05-29-2005 06:56 AM |
yes a cf roof would certainly be the $hit.
| BurtonCR | 05-29-2005 10:27 AM |
I think Pennon Composites made some in the past. They are out of Syracuse, NY. You can find their site online.

I wish they made those fenders for bugeyes. Any idea what rims those are? 255/30 R19 is ridiculous on a WRX. I'd love to see 255s on 17s.
| cf_impreza | 05-30-2005 02:58 AM |
just called my boy and he says the guy that did the roof is independent now, so i would imagine its alot cheaper, at least 5 or 6 cheaper, hes gonna try to get ahold of him and get a quote so ill keep you informed.

I bet that's the price for the roof vent not the actual roof. Unfortunately.

No, It is the price of the CF roof, but it is just a thin layer
of CF stick on top of your steel roof. :p

I have a GC8 CF sunroof from Pennon Composites. It came in 2 versions: glossy coat and primered coat. It cost about $250 IIRC. There were 2 things wrong with it: you can see the indentations on the top where the screws are located; it wasn't apparent until I got it painted. The other problem was the rubber seal; you can try to reuse your old one or you can order a new one. I ordered one and it was cracked. The replacement that was sent was also cracked.
| SlvSurfer | 06-01-2005 03:52 AM |
Will it cover small dents in your roof? There's some scratches and small dents in my roof :(
I was thinking of getting a cf roof.

VIS GC8, off ebay.
Now back on topic... I am still looking for a CF sunroof. Those CF roofs look absolutely awesome, but I'm pretty sure its beyond my budget :(

bump in hopes of a update on GC CF roof panel/sunroof panel

If you've got $500 burning a hole in your pocket (or even better can get together a group buy), these guys will fab up a plug for any car.
[URL]http://www.lighterfaster.com/13194.html[/URL]
I was thinking about doing it myself, since it would not only replace the heavy glass, but also all the motor mechanisms, etc. Add to that the fact that there's really no better place to shave weight off any car than off the top.
...Just not sure if I can live without a sunroof.

You know you wanted to see this thread again. ;)
BTW- found a CF roof provider/producer for the GC.
[URL]http://dev.aerosim-motorsports.com/shop/article_004/Carbon-Fiber-RS-Roof.html[/URL]
So the next logical question would be- $500 for a sunroof plug, or twice that for the whole roof?
I just wanna lose weight in the two places it matters- the front and the top. Lowering height of CoG and neutral Front/Rear balance FTW!
:banana:
