So I know people used to make these and there was a guy on Honda Tech selling these ages ago but I haven't been able to get in touch with im and have heard he's not about any more.
So was wondering if anyone knows where I can get on of these shipped to the UK am looking to get one for my Coupe as wanting to have her as light as possible.

Yeah, I may be wrong but didn't that guy take a bunch of payments and never delivered ant of the roof caps?
Anyway, they were just caps that sat on the roof weren't they? I would just get some carbon fiber vinyl and lay that down. Replacing a coupes roof with carbon would only save a couple pounds but seriously take away from the cars rigidity. Plus I'm sure it would be a pain in the ass.
But you could always buy the carbon material and make the roof mold yourself.

Yeah was thinking of doing a skin but would like to do a sun roof delet but really don't like the look of the sun roof bungs
a frend of mine has a classic mini with a b series engine in it and he got a roof cap made for it and as it was so rigid he cut his old roof out and fitted the cap so was thinking this would work for my coupe (tin opener style)

If you decide to just wrap it, go with 3M Di Noc, it looks freaking bad ass.

www.s2carbonworks.com sells carbon roof caps for hatches and i think maybe even coupes too.

don't think it would take away from structural support, but it wouldn't save much weight. CF is one of the strongest materials so...won't make the car fold in half lol.
