Carbon fibre roof!
 

Hello all. I've seen so many carbon fibre parts for Subarus but never a roof. Has anyone ever seen one for sale?

I drive an RB5 BTW.

Cheers.

Roger Clark Motor sport sell them

Can't find them on their site. Have to give them a ring.

if you get any info, let us know, i would defo be interested!

discount for 2!! lol

Just get a sign company to make one out of vinyl .. lot cheaper, i'm taking it that the Roger Clark one just sticks over the top?

Spoke to them today and they asked me if the purpose were cosmetic or weight. I said cosmetic and they are getting back to me via Email.

I've assumed it would be a replacement. I also asked them to comment on group buy discount.

My roof has some rust forming and it needs to be cut out then resprayed. If a carbon fibre one (which looks a lot better IMO) one isn't stupidly more than the repairs to the steal one would cost I will get one.

for me, i rather not have people laugh at my car due to the vinyl effect carbon, which looks nothing like real carbon.

I want one, so it can match a boot lid and bonnet!

I would be interested in these prices too for '03 wrx. I have some dings on my roof from hail stone damage.

Yeah know what you mean, personally i wouldn't entertain the idea of carbon bits at all anyway for a road car, but i wasn't sure if the roof was a replacement, or just a cover (cosmetic) from Roger Clark.

japanparts.com do them for the newage

dont have a link do you? cant seem to see them on there!

It's a bit of a no from Roger Clark :P

Many thanks for the email.
Yes we do a carbon fibre roof for the GC8 car.
We do x2 versions.
X1 Smooth roof. £1395+vat.
X1 Smooth roof with Vortex generator.£1495+vat (As per Evo8FQ).

Availability is approx 2 weeks.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards

Nevermind, worth a try! I bet the vortex generator one would look good though.

Emailing some other companies. Will keep you updated.

good work.

that is a bit more than i would liek to spend!

Can't link to their parts pages myself, so just follow this:

Home > Subaru > Impreza WRX 2005 > Interior and Exterior / Exterior - others

Its made by l'aunsport.

I'm tempted to get one and a carbon bonnet and boot and paint the outer edges so it looks like theres a thick carbon stripe right over the car. Not sure if its worth the outlay tho :wonder:

Oh by the way, its a cosmetic shell not a replacement. You just glue it over your roof.

Heres a pic:

Available with or without roof vent hole.

thats amazing!!! exactly what i want!

is there a uk distributor for l'aunsport?

as i dread to think of the condition of it if it had to be shipped over!

Seems extreme for a bit of rust :eek:

it was obvious before you got in touch with RCM that this part from them would be expensive :)

I do like that one from Japan parts. Shame they don't do a MY99 one!

Brun, it's more bubbling under the paintwork where it connects to the windscreen.

stevebt, I agree but if you don't ask... :P

:thumb:

the one from japanparts is like £240 quid. far cheaper than RCM.

so not quite sure why thier version is so expensive. it snot like its a complex perice of carbon!!

Sorry mate, I wouldn't know.

There are some on here that have taken delivery of parts from these people and have been happy with the packaging but I'm guessing not big bits like this.

Maybe worth a thread in general asking if anyone has bought from them and been unhappy :idea:

If you get any info, lemme know please :thumb:

RCM's is a replacement roof. Japanparts's just fits over the top. There are also different qualities of weaves, too.

Emailed RCM to see if they can make one that goes on top of the existing roof, too.

that would explain the price difference then!!

Any update on this???

if not gonna get one from Japanparts!

cheers

Ill second immortal performance.. but then the mould for the wagon carbon roof was taken from my car :)

Sent and Email to Immortal performance and another to RCM. No replies so far. Will have to send another in a day or two.

Just rang Immortal with no one answering... The mobile number there belongs to someone else too!
