Looks good (I have also checked the pics in the gallery section).

It seems that the Windscreen has to come out for install or is there a way around it?

Cheers,

Yeah, it would be great to fit it with him, the only problem is the 2 x 1200 miles drive with a khm economic car...

The roofs are always available from us, however the group buy price was purely an introductory price to gain exposure for our company and get our products out there, ive had to think of it more as a non profit exercise.

We will always run a group buy on any new products we introduce, the next step for us is to either get a classic impreza or a newage to use a a demo car and develop parts for. Were a bit undecided on which impreza to go for though....

I would vote on the Classic Demo car.
Reason being is that more people are willing to mod/swap older rusty parts (Just like I am planning to) as opposed to a newer "not yet rusty" panel...

Cheers,

lol, im counting on you to get some more interest in these newage carbon roofs, we still need some more names before we can go ahead and make it, although having a car to put one on may speed things up.

Not sure i can bring myself to sell the RS though
