Nice i'm working on a roof aswell. What resin are you using? I'm using the System three mirror coat 2 part epoxy. Pretty easy stuff.

Shit dude, I'm not doing it, lol. I have a composite guy that is. No clue what he's using...
I do wrenchwork and things that are straightforward, nuts and bolts, like engines. When it comes to artistry, I suxors.

pfft... who needs the roof?
Take the headliner out and you got the only 7th gen Targa. :D

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
Yeah, like the hideous targa'd hatch at the show last weekend on bags. You shoulda seen it. It was the ugliest, non-functioning car I've seen.

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
so is that going to be a rap or or you going to replace the roof itself?

Nice, anything Carbon fiber is awesome.

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
I'm not going to remove the roof for stability purposes. The OEM roof will be the skeleton for the weave. The weave will be molded into the OEM hood as one solid piece....

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
lol... you keep mixing up the word roof and hood

Envy 05-15-2008 03:03 PM

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
maybe he meant the roof is gunna weave into the hood? for structural purposes. do you have a cf hood andy?

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
i was considering this a while back before i got the paint done.. but the guy that was going to do it went out of business. this was back during the huge crunch for c/f products too....i think the fiber will be hot though. and if possible, make sure they lay the fabric to match the pattern of your trunk and hood. generally, it should all lay in the same direction. points for you :tup:

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
i wish there was a diy. Im learning cf rite now. Its actually not too bad not much different then fiberglass. Either way I wanna see wut the roof looks like wen its done.

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
If I keep saying hood, I mean roof, lol. I have a cf hood, and no, the roof and hood will be completely separate.

Yeah man, bring the car, we'll check it out, although I'm not sure what exactly you're wanting to do....

DeX 05-15-2008 05:02 PM

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
Let me see if I understand correctly......you're making your car heavier to make it look like it's lighter? I don't get it.

Where is the meet you all are talkin' bout Andy?

andyman97 05-16-2008 04:59 AM

Re: Latest and Greatest Mod Underway...One of a kind em2
 
It's going to add all of 5-10 lbs max. I don't care, it's for show, and a worthwhile mod to do.

Not sure how much the project is going to cost until it's finished.

Meet is here in MD, check out the mid atlantic forum for details.

DIY CF roof:
-Prep roof same as you would for paint.
-Lay down a coat of black tinted resin on roof.
-When still tacky, apply cf, trim as necessary.
-Apply clear resin over top of cf, to build it up.
-When all is dried 100 percent, block sand flat with multiple grits, and paint a clear coat over the resin, your done!
-Rinse, lather, repeat.
