This is a local CF fabricator specializing in serving the aerospace and motorsports markets. I've interviewed the owners, toured their facility, inspected the product quality, and have seen first-hand a number of vehicles on premise. I'm OCD and I would be very happy to have their work on my car.

Common Fibers

The cost is ~ $2k / long roof panel. Options include finish (matte, gloss, and paint grade).

This project drops ~ 100 lbs from the car, at the highpoint. At the same time, it solves the broken pano roof problem some have coped with.

Fabrication requires a donor vehicle (or cut roof from salvage) for creating a mold. Since they're located nearby, I would use mine as the donor and test fit vehicle.

I intend to do this, but isn't in the queue until next season. I have a bunch of partially completed projects that need to be completed first.
