Re: Carbon Fiber T-Tops?
The closest thing you can get is a carbon fiber roof from Blaine Fabrication. Keep in mind, this is NOT intended for a street car... only somebody looking to chop out every last ounce of weight on their CMC, AIX, or ITE F-body race car. Check this out:
While you're at it, pick up one of his 7 pound carbon fiber hoods for $700.

The bare carbon fiber looks awesome, but gets mighty hot on a sunny day. The weight of the roof is about 4lbs. The panel is a single piece, designed for a bare roof - all ttop hardware, weatherstripping, center rib need to be removed. No attempt is made to seal to the window.

Price of the carbon fiber roof is $425, plus a crating fee of $50, plus shipping. I make a sturdy plywood crate that is just inside UPS max size, so shipping isn't too dear.
