The cross section in the front and the back of the roof is what holds the rigidity, not the roof panel itself.

Darren, if you feel paranoid, just have Long install a roll cage! LOL

After all the work done, I'm surprised you still have the grey headliner. But I'm sure it's all going to change with this mod.

Seeing that a big part of the roof's job is for structural integrity and rigidity, I assume your new roof won't come close to the original one for those things, so how are you dealing with that?

nice, but not the first, http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=553023. A CF roof with Kevlar underneath has been for sale for a while. Sick ride, but not the first.

Alex@Helix · 09-14-2011, 01:31 PM

a convertible sedan would be AWESOME!
