Leg Motor Sport CF Roof!
Well I think it is from them because it is on their site. No idea if it is an overlay or replacement.

thats pretty nice! i wonder how difficult it would be to replace something like that
|
wow... i would like one of these....
|
Wow I really like it, to bad I have a sunroof
|
WTF Ive been looking for this for years,,,,,
I have no concern for how much this is I want and I will have it,,,, We nee to find out if its really leg and if its a replacement panel or overlay.... From the looks of the spoiler and the updated interior center dash piece its definately an 09,,, good thing Mazda didnt change the roof too.... |
im gonna have to check this out!!!
|
looks like winning blue to me, their site when translated states 03- se3p, also states 160k yen, so like 1650 usd or something.

Yep I'm thinking it is pre 09 :)
Here is link to it. Looks like it costs $1600! http://www.leg-sport.com/_original/GT-A/part.cgi |
holy shit... any wt. specs?
|
whats with the lisence plate thing on that 8 ?
|
It's just a side mounted plate.
|
Im gettin that shit....
|
is it an overlay?
|
for $1600 I doubt it...
|
finally found a company that makes the carbon roof! been looking for it... but too bad i got sunroof. dont know if i want to sacrifice the sunroof for this though. but please be an overlay...
|
^^^^hey buddy, wouldnt we want an over lay anyways?? noise is probably louder switching roofs. an overlay wouldnt make as much noise....i would def buy.
|
An overlay wouldn't make ANY more noise lol
|
^^^thats what i said, read!!! that it wouldnt make anymore noise, compare to switching out roofs.
|
wow I love it and I want it but I dont know about giving up my sunroof and spending 1600 dollars that might be a little much for me
|
Whats all this I have a sunroof, please be an overlay nonsenese....
1. that would just be rediculous.... 2. the rubber seals on the border of the sunroof wouldnt allow the overlay to sit flush,,, |
wow. i have a sunroof but would get this in a second if it is a real cf roof (NOT an overlay) and they could post the weight reduction...that would be awesome...
|
If it is a real roof and you pay someone to install it then it is going to be real expensive. There is a youtube video about the greek rx8 with a bunch of custom work. Part of the video shows them creating and installing their CF roof.
|
I've also wanted one of these forever. But aswell, sunroof.
I'd be willing to remove my sunroof for this, however. |
I have a sunroof and all it does it rattle when its open,,,, I m removing it and getting this...
|
Plus, think of the weight savings!
|
I know right!
Its funny I thought I would be at the point where I would have been able to mod much more on my car and now after my Pettit SC all other mods are now cheap and there are more to get every week it seems... |

ok i dont know how we arent agreeing or seeing the same picture, but i agree with you. I hope its a CF cover, Like the cf covers for the side mirrors or a lip like Veilsides that just gos over your stock bumper....get what im saying? No exactly an overlay?
|
Hey guys I found the video on youtube I was talking about. It is a little over 10 minutes but it is worth watching. I'm sure many have already seen it or part of it because it has been posted here many times :)
For all the talk of sunroof or no sunroof, they kept theirs! As you can see from the pics the install is going to be costly!! Link to vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn93G...e=channel_page Screen shots of their CF roof http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...se_no_roof.png http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...lling_roof.png http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...th_sunroof.png |
Ok so the part is 1600 usd, but how much do you all think its actually going to cost to get it put on
Just watched the youtube video and yea theres no way its gonna by financially worth doing the installation is going to be ridiculous |
ya I don't think this leg cf roof would be an overlay since it's for their track car. Adding more weight wouldn't make sense. I'm assuming it's prolly a replacement.

BTW I will be placing an order for another part from Leg Motor Sports soon :ylsuper: |
We should get a GB going for this.. I want one.
But we should do it after summer ;) Because my S/C is first :O |
so who is going to be the first one to order and try to install this, so the rest of us might know what all to expect :lol:
|
I'm wondering what the underside is like.
|
you would need a new windshield the only way to get the oem one out is to break it,,,
mines is getting sandblasted from road debris, and I imagine the rear window is the same deal, I could probably get a new front windshield by shooting it with a bee bee or chipping it with a rock, I have a low deductable, but I cant think of a way to break my rear window at the same time... |

$1600 for carbon from japan isn't dramatically expensive. Also M3 carbon roof is like 3-4 so... i'm wondering. Someone jump on this and test the waters! :)
I know what genuine JDM tuner parts cost, I buy nothing but genuine parts for my car... |

^ a race car comes down to every single pound. I dont think that the weight concerns him personally however when on a race car its taken into close consideration.
|
Couldn't you just have a shop make a cut out for the sun roof to go in, or would this ruin the structural integrity of the CF?

Overlay wouldnt add more than 5lbs. You should hit the gym if thats going to concern you.

^ So just what kind of prices where you looking at from the Greeks shop
|
I agree it is different but my point was you can see the bones of the roof and the fact they made a cut out for the sunroof. I still think we can learn from their install. Anyway here is a pic of them standing of the roof.

IMO i dont think the carbon roof would be any lighter than the current aluminum roof we have. and $1600 for the carbon roof is just a bling factor... but i still want it!
