RCZ, any plans for a carbon fiber roof...I'm interested in trying to get one, but it is one of the hardest things to find. No one makes it for the 370z and I don't know anybody that even made it for the 350z. All I see are overlays that look cool, but just add weight. Knowing that Nissan has not really messed with the Z's roof, I'm guessing that it's still made of thick steel, which means that there is good change for weight reduction and lowering the center of gravity. It would be cool to get a carbon roof, but there are still problems other than the rareness and price. I don't really remember them, but it was something about weakness to UV radiation and structural rigidity, but carbon roof still sounds like a good idea. Any ideas RCZ???
