Hy guys! Hey hey! I'm the lucky who actualy bought Canadianshark old's carbon fiber roof. ;-)
I thought I'd just give you some extra details.
First of, this cf sunroof replaces the oem sunroof, not just the cover. So basicaly you unscrew the oem roof and bolt on the cf instead. Because of that you wont have the same interrior finish since the cf roof doesn't have any frame or "squelleton". The carbon fiber is molded to the same shape and once solidified it old's it's hown in place.
Because of that I noticed when driving on the highway at 60mph or over some incressed noise from the wind blowing by. Nothing to really loud since my exhaust is still noisier lol. As for water leeks, I haven't had any! When I got the roof I simply took my molding from my oem roof and installed it on the new one. It closes very well and keeps water out even in big storms. Of course being a lot thinner, the roof is also more flexible. For exemple when you'll close the door you'll see the roof poping up slittly.
But all in all, I wouldn't trade it for anything else ;-) It completes prefectly the looks of the car combine with the JSP blade wing and the cf hood. Here's a picture of the hole car, you can't really see the roof well but it gives you an idea.

Hello.
Finally I managed to get some time to get back on here , I have to force myself to make time to get on the computer. I am ultra busy with work. After the SEMA show and CES and my work on Canadas fastest all motor race car (1 second off the world record) and trying to finish the website, I dont even have time to shave!
here are some pix of what my company has been doing and some of the roof and available colours....(I hope, thanks for the photobucket advice!)
Pix. 1&2 -Precious Fibres / Blaupunkt 2005 Show car. You will see it...
Picture #3 -Precious Fibres 1 piece CRX full race Carbon Fiber Front end (12 Pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!)You will see it...
Picture #4 Carbon Sunroofs and available colours...You will see them too...
Picture #5 A Sneak peek at my 1999 Show/Go Tiburon for 2005 (details later..)
Thanks for Pascoile there who anwsered some of your questions I think.
The price break would be for 10 units ordered. -$350 Canadian for basic black Carbon Fiber and $400 Canadian for any Kevlar Color combination. The
shipping cost would also have to be added in there, another $35 Canadian to anywhere in the world. Use xe.com to figure out the current exchange on that.
The shipping BTW is 5 business day delivery with tracking.
Live mid-market rates as of 2005.02.04 10:16:38 GMT.
385.00 CAD Canada Dollars = 309.909 USD United States Dollars
I only have three units in stock, the rest would have to be made to order.
I estimate that if this gets organized before the end of Feb. I could deliver all the units before the end of March. Just in time for spring.
I am Very Busy, I leave it to you all to put together a list of 10 people.
Once we have the 10 people we will set up a date to use pay pal, soon as I recieve full payment, I will commence filling the order.
If there are any more questions please feel free to call or email me, I will get back to you asap.
Thank you, it is 6am, I am off to sleep!
Sincerely,
Steve Guttridge
