nope, the CF roof was not purchased from Mazdatrix.com . This was a custom job done by the guys at Auto Explosion

Looks great dude! Congrats on being the first to pull this off. Your shop did an excellent job. Have you thought of doing a clear bra on the CF to protect it from sun damage?

The roof has a really good clear coat on it to protect it from the elements and as Ngo mentioned, this car isn't exactly driven much

It's my birthday weekend so if I'm sober for any part of it, I'M IN!
I was planning on polishing my 8 this weekend so let me know and I'll plan accordingly.
