The overlay today we estimated the price at the dealer and all would cost $499.99 each. Or we can also add in vortex generators on the rear molded into the roof cap so it serves a purpose other than looks.

Real cf roofs would be around $799.99 because they would need several more layers of carbon fiber and fiberglass, and they would need all the detailed structural parts that would be needed to be bolted and adhered to the quarter panel tops. We would also make them stronger than the OEM roof. If installed slightly wrong that can make the car terribly unsafe. Say if you were to get into a side collision instead of having the roof which would help keep the car from crushing, the carbon fiber would snap instantly unless its made stronger than the OEM roof. So if we made real ones, they would be safe, but then Id be worried about imitators and customers always flocking to the cheaper products.

Fenders would run about $800 a set, a hood around $700. Our products wouldn’t be 1 layer of carbon fiber and 4 layers of fiberglass, we would actually make the parts of at least 75% carbon fiber and have the option to go 100% carbon fiber unlike other dealers.
