Does anyone have closeup pictures of it?

don't get the carbon roof cutout, why spend so much money for parts and labor and not get the full effect of weight reduction? just get the cf overlay if you want the look, plus the cf roof with a sunroof cutout looks a little weird.

look in the NE section - some dude made an Orange Fever replica w/the CF w/sunroof cutout.

honestly, its not worth it - just get cf vinyl from that sponsor who posts by the minute.

The vorsteiner cf roofs aren't even that light. One member here had it and said that it was totally made of a plastic material and then an overlay of CF was done on top.

Is the sunroof really that important to you? Its your car but the car with a full CF roof, even a v-csl version, will be worth more when you turn around to sell it than one with a sunroof.

remember that most of your weight savings will come from removing the sunroof, so essentially you're defeating the purpose of going with a cf roof with sunroof... waste of money. if you want the look of cf and hide the dent, just get it wrapped with vinyl

How big and where is the dent? Most dent repair placed have no problem removing dents from the roof as long as it isn't too close to the sunroof assembly. Follow that up with vinyl and you will save yourself a lot of cash.
