Genuine Carbon Fibre Roof Overlay

[PM-R33]

Since I'm a sucker for carbon and to make my car look that little bit different I came across this; a genuine carbon fibre stick on roof overlay made my a company in the US.

They make them for heaps of diffferent cars so I don't see why they couldn't make them for Skylines if we wanted to.

Definetely something different I havn't seen before. I absolutely love it on M3s, maybe it would look good on Skylines aswell. What you think?

Does it replace the roof skin or just sit ontop?

Edit - Just noticed the big writing that says overlay lol

[SS8_Gohan]

would look mad of your white 33 mate

you wouldn't want it to 'protrude' much though, if you know what i mean

we're actually in the process of doing this to my R32 before it gets painted but not just a stick on panel.

Its going to be bonded to the roof skin then cleared over while the car is getting painted so there will be no hard edges

[pew]

Im keen on one!

I dunno... I can't picture it suiting an r33. Feel free to prove me wrong though

[Spark911]

Order me one.

i'm not convinced it will look good on a 33. the 33 doesnt have a definite roof panel. it's blended down into the rear quarters.

unlike the 350z for eg, that has a defined panel that doesnt look too weird if it's in contrast to the rest of the car.

the transition down the back will look wierd imo

I do agree with Tony.

Because R33's roof panel blended into the front and rear fenders, like Silvia's, it's harder.

350Z's and V35's have seperate roof panels so it's alot easier.

I do like them. I already got non-carbon black roof overlay for my V35 and might be putting it on soon.

I think it'd look good. I imagine if you got someone who knows their s*** to attach it properly with urethane/sikaflex or the like (as dodgey as it sounds), I don't think it'd be that hard to get a smooth transition rather than a "hard" edge.

if it were to fit in the slightly sunken roof area on the r33 so the whole roof was flush it could look sweet...

but what about 33s with a sunroof..?

[Luke_GTS-T]

33s with a sunroof would equal no carbon fibre roof?

Pretty sure that's how the m3s work

Putting a roof overlay on a car with a sun roof is also possible. Just abit more harder and more work to it.

I saw a link somewhere before. If I find it back, I can post it up.

wow these guys pricing on CF parts is so low...

I wonder what quality is like and if they would be keen to make 33 parts, hoods, boots, roof spoilers, front guards, skirts etc...

[PM-R33]

Wow so many responses! Haha.

Like I said, it was something very different that I hadn't seen done before (as an aftermarket part for so many cars) so thought I would post it up.

As others have said, not sure how it would look exactly on a Skyline. There is that sunken area of the roof which is where I thought it would go. That way it kind of sits flat with the rest and wouldn't look so out of place.

If I get some time later on tonight I might do a quick photo shop of what it could look like. Gives us a better idea.

Hell yeah! Make sure you post up pics when you are done

Yep they have some good prices. Even these roofs are pretty cheap at $300-$500.

[75coupe]

and the US dollar is still diving... so its cheaper to buy parts thru the US than it is anywhere else lately...

[PM-R33]

Word.

[NYTSKY]

Wow, really cheap.

Anyone onto these guys yet regarding 33s?

Nismo style bonnet

[75coupe]

Ive contact a CF bonnet supplier on US ebay (not these guys but another seller) for a nismo style CF over fibreglass bonnet... I'll PM you some details, will be less than $800 delivered...

they can make alterations and vent blocking plates for them as well....
