S13 carbon fiber roof?

Just outa curiosity why not just cut a piece of metal to fit and weld that bitch in there, seems like that would be the cheapest and easiest route and you wouldn't have the lexan "cooking you"... Yeah cf roof would be cool and all but it seems like I would be more expensive and more of a hassle than its worth, if you need weight reduction there are plenty of other thing that u could do that would be cheaper and like 10x easier

Not sure if that's to me but I'm almost done with my build and haven't gone the cheaper/easier route for the whole thing and I don't really have a desire to cheapout now. There are many things one can do to save weight and I've done just about all of them. I dont expect to take off much weight but in my case a CF roof will flow better than a painted roof.

Btw a welded piece would probably crack the paint at a later date.
