Did a few more things today.
Took apart mirrors and painted the caps Removed interior door panels for paint prep of door Prepared the spoiler for final paint / Color repainted roof for 3rd time and will sand and do final coat tomorrow Hopefully priming a majority of the parts that are off the car tomorrow. It's crazy how much this color changes in different lighting!

Had some time to drill out the roof yesterday. I will be gluing it on today!
Final coat of candy went on the roof. It is finally complete. I cleared the damn thing 4 times (3 coats each).

Finally mocked up the roof. Also, did some weight calculations from the other parts I had.
Stock metal roof w/ hole for sunroof - 24.4lbs Sunroof cassette w/motor 31.8lbs Combined 56.2 lbs Carbon roof w/ brace w/ tons of clear - 14.6 lbs Weight savings - 41.6 lbs

Roof is stuck on now. I rolled the fenders and fixed up the body line. Removed gas door assembly and lights. Started to block out the rear in preparation of paint. I'm very excited.

Looking good man! The carbon roof looks killer. When you rolled the fenders did you remove the rubber junk inside the fold? I have a roll and pull but the rubber stuff is still inside the fold so the roll isn’t all that effective. I’ve considered removing the rubber and re rolling it or just cutting the inside fold completely out.

I did a pull / mild roll. Not planning on anything larger than these 275's. E46 rolled similar to this. Even though this would be the perfect time to cut / grind / roll, I wanted it to stay somewhat factory. I did smooth out all the lines and make it look great though.

Had a bit of a delay with family things and a few health things as well. Finally ready to get back to this.
I've dismantled every part of the car. Everything is prepped. Sprayed the last coat of primer to perfect everything and then its time for seal + color. Hopefully should have all of the paint laid by the end of the week. Then it'll take a few days to put everything together.

Final layers of clear on the hood. That is ready for paint now. Should be getting everything wrapped up in the next few days.

I forgot. Something with an argument.
Finally installed the glass and all seals around it. Fixed a few panel gaps that were bad from the initial installation. Starting wrapping my trim black, primered the trunk.
