Where would rain water go with that hood? Does it have channels all the way to the rear?

If they have any at all, it might be an add-on typical with aftermarket vented hoods,,,

I highly doubt that it's an overlay, otherwise I'm sure you'd see more of them on cars. I believe you need to cut the actual aluminum portion of the roof off, to be able to install the CF roof. I don't think many people want to go that extreme, by starting to chop apart your RX-8 to replace it with CF roof look. I highly doubt you'd save barelly any weight as it is on the replacing the roofs.

You drill out spot welds, remove front and rear glass and off it comes like a tuna can.

If you do that though, don't you need to get a brand new roof because your old one won't be shaped the same way again? I've looked into this because I'm aiming to swap out my sunroof for a non sunroof model, but I can't swap with people it seems as I was warned it will ruin the roof.

Back in the day, I had a civic with a sunroof and I just had it removed and piece of metal welded into the hole where it was. When it was all done and painted you couldn't even tell the car had a sunroof.

what stuttgart said. the easiest way to get rid of a sunroof is buy a non sunroof headliner and just weld in a new piece of metal.
