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

The roof, the roof, the roof is all fiber! We don't need no paint, let the mutha****a shine!

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

^ that's hilarious!! can't wait to see finished pics andy.

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

Wow rob, you must be bored. You coming to the meet? Yeah I'm hoping we get it done for the weekend but we'll see.

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

lol @ rob.. that was fukking cool.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Wow! Thats so bad ass!

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

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?

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

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

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
 

yeah i hope the guy knows what hes doing lol

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
 

Looks hot. Can't wait to see the final project. Very original

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

andy..... i think im coming to the meet, wondering if you can check out my shocks and stuff.......

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

Sweetness! When you get it done get some pics up!





Wagner :shake:

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....

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.

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

How much is this running you?

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

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

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.

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

hahahhahaha...... HAHAHAHHAHA.......

man.....i totally sang ur version of that song in my head...

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

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.

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

come on man, you know its for show. If he really wanted the stock look and go lighter, he would have painted the CF obviously.

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

Gay. When I get back to the states this fall, I'll paint it for you.

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

this is dope

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

You're gay...and you ain't touching my car, bish! Lol, jp, but for real, I'm not letting you near it with a paint gun. If I had access to tools and a booth, I'd paint it myself.

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

if i had a billion dollars, id be rich

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

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

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

lol, and it only took 3 days!!!

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

Looking good andy!!!!

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

should have just used autozone carbon fiber tape! works like a charm :D lol..

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

So when do you think it'll be done?

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

+1 to this. I can't wait to see this. Hell, I might even drive down to see it, lol.

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

I'm not sure. This weekend comes a slight teardown and freshening up with the new turbo/downpipe install. Next week I have to have the downpipe fitted with the rest of the exhaust so it'll prolly be at least a week or two. The goal is to have it done by HIN night shift June 14 but I'm not in a huge rush.

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

Cool, i'm excited to see it. I've only ever seen the CF roof on that one white car that's been posted like a million times before.

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

If you put in a full roll cage you could stiffen the body and cut out the roof and replace it w/the carbon fiber replacement. Then you would have the looks and the function, although the roll cage built properly and w/the rigth materials to still be light would probably cost you oh i dont know and arm and a leg.

Thats tight, subscribed...also a bump for a bamf.
