What stock section are you including in your 9kg estimate? If you are only replacing the roof panel and no structure, I doubt that there would be a 5kg weight savings.
What is the installation procedure for installing your carbon fiber roof panel?

If you're looking for a carbon roof in the USA, I had my carbon guy mold one too. It's all dry carbon, and 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg). Stock roof panel is 19.6 lbs (8.9 kg).
