I spoke with John today from CarbonbyDesign and my roof is just about ready to ship out to me. He expects it to be shipped later today or tomorrow morning, so i should have it mid next week. So here's a little CF porn for you guyz. i hope you guyz like it and i can't frkn wait to have it on. also, i should have the RKSport sideskirts by 10-3, then it goes to paint. i'll also post pix of both, when done. the weave is 6k thread, those who know, very hard to find. unfortunate for me, because all my cf parts are 6k. there is 3k, but the weave dosn't show enough. Check this thread for install/updates. http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9977 Thank You!
Jimmy thats gonna look sweet when its on Congrats!!! Thanks fellas! trust me, it's going to be hard sleeping, untill it's shows up at my door step.
I remember meeting you and your girl at the lx nats. Both she and the car were top notch!! Dahaha!!! You have one of the cleanest chargers I've ever laid eyes on. I'm sure when you are done it will be a jaw dropper!!
there is also a 12k as well jimmy. much of what i work with in my field is 12k braid, not the cloth that is used for your roof. same stuff used to make some of the carbon fiber cai's that are coming to market. thanks to guys like you i am paying through the nose for cf for my legs!!!! lol btw, can't wait to see the pics of the finished product!!!
you'd have to talk with john at cbd. prices vary, because of the different cost for our 6 stock roofs. of course mine was is the rare one and cost the most. all worth it! thanks bratha! i recall the meet, there wasn't many members to meet. lol i have ocd, so keeping my ride clean is easy. i guess. i appreciate the props inregards to my wife, she's the best. take care! qeustion, are you going to next years lx nationals? thank you!, mam. chris, sorry bro! now you made me feel bad. :sorry: well now i don't know what to say..... chris, i know 12k thread. it's the close to 6k, but it's not 6k. i may go with 12k for my interior and enclosure, ooops. all cover's in my engine are 6k, so i want a match. i've got some 6k set a side. for now.... we do need to talk. i'll pm ya.
the 12k is just more cables to each toe.....(toe is the grouping of the strands in the cabled weave you see)...... 12k is a little heavier due to the increase in fibers, but it does show up VERY well when laid up correctly. i assume they are using a negitive mold to do your roof jimmy? i generally always work off of positives because i need the INSIDE of my lamination to look smooth/good, not so much the outside.....although i can make the outside surface look as nice as inside!!!
thanx bro! and Moe, i'm sorry, but i have to do it. sht, i can't stop thinking about it. well thats not true, but i can't frkn wait. i guess i could wait a little longer. dammit, that should be at my door tomorrow. nah, i want the time and effort to show. so i guess i'll just have to have them overnight the damn thing....................................................................................i think i'm going crazy. no i am crazy. now for some performance mods to think of. that'll keep my mind off it. what? the roofie thing. i'm going to bed. soon. i think.
me too! chase, good to hear from ya. long time no speak. did you check out my firewall? it's under the "underhood" thread. take care and talk to you soon. i'll call you today. i'm surprised you havn't gone by john's shop, to check it out. btw, i want updates.
update: i spoke with john and my metal roof, dosn't have the hole for the sat antena. so it works out better for those with sunroofs and w/ or w/out sat antena. we just need someone to order a roof w/out the sunroof. maybe share in the cost. this way everyone can have a cf roof made. you'll just have to drill the hole for the antena, easy to do. i will do a step by step with pix on the install, for every to use. i plan on shipping my metal roof back to john for others to use. __________________
