i take it you have no idea how hard that would be and how EXPENSIVE that would be to purchase. if you have deep pockets send this guy a PM to make you some. Plus the roof on these cars are structural pieces and you would have to have one stout cage in the car to keep everything solid

NICE roof panel..! I wonder what those weigh, compared to the stock roof... I imagine that the heaviest bolt on bits of the S197 would be the doors, and probably then the fenders... Stock hood is fairly light, being of aluminum.

I think door panels, rear quarter panels, some decent looking side skirts, front fenders, and a racing rear air diffusers sort of like the one on the new acr....might as well replace the windows with lexan glass to save weight.

We actually have the molds for the carbon fiber roof already. We can take orders for those anytime, but wont, until we can become a vendor. Im trying to see whether or not we can make CARBON KEVLAR an option for the roof. Carbon fiber is strong already but KEVLAR would be icing on the cake. Making it lightweight and ultra durable. But of course the kevlar would be at an extra cost.
thanks for your interest in the parts. the parts you mentioned are things i DEFINATELY want to do. But unfortunately wont happen until i have people with hard intent on purchasing. We all know, because i know, its awesome to see good quality carbon parts out there for our cars. But it does me no good if people are interested but no one buys the product. Because the main reason i started this was because I, personally, couldnt find affordable good quality carbon fiber parts for our cars. And I think our mustang community deserves quality parts for our stangs. So, initially, I will be offering group buys to stimulate more interest and potential buyers.. Let me know what you guys think.

If you do a group buy of like 5-10 members, I think you'll have a hard time getting people to advance you 800$+ (advancment of money being the best form of commitment) and then having to wait X amount of time till their product is shipped. If you did something like a 10% advance till you got the necessary number of members, then they could send the remaining amount of money to have their product shipped.
