My supplier got a roll of CF fabric in, so I can do some layups that have not been possible for some time. I'm rolling prices back a bit for a short time. Orders placed with a 50% deposit by July 15 will get the reduced prices. Orders will be filled about 1 per week after the 15th.

4th gen Ttop replacement panel: for track/race cars - replaces all Ttop attachment hardware and weatherstripping. Fits flush to surface of windshield and targa. Weight is under 5#. $450 + $75 crating + UPS shipping.

4th gen Camaro hood: for track/race cars - 4 pins required. Weight is under 9#. $850 (LT1) or $950 (LS1) + crating + truck freight . I have molds for LT1 and LS1 cars.

C5 Corvette hood: for track/race cars - 4 pins required. Weight is under 9#. $950 + crating + truck freight

C5 Corvette headlight covers: for track/race cars - bond to hood, chassis, or bumper cover. Weight is a few oz. $180/pr + UPS shipping.

Products delivered in CA subject to CA sales tax.

It's very possible I could get big items to Mid Ohio in Sept, and then to other parts of the country via the buddy express, saving the crating and freight costs. No insurance this way, tho.

Here's a couple pics of the Ttop replacement roof panel: The only obstacle to street use is that it has no provision for sealing to the window glass, so is not watertight.

The hood, being so light, is not a problem getting on/off, and improves access to the back of motor. The only pain is what to do with the hood when it's off the car - I usually plunk it down on the roof, but a little breeze will blow it around wherever it is.

I would love to use the CF panel as an easy semi or permanent conversion to a hardtop. What would one need to do to make it watertight? Also, could you post some pics of what the area looks like after all the hardware is removed. I'd want to add some reinforcement to the roof ala Z06 when converting to a hardtop.

Finally got a Ttop car with windows thru the shop so took some pics with the windows up and the CF roof panel in place. The window gap is about 3/8", would need to be sealed with weatherstripping attached to the panel. The panel fits flush to the body/windshield front/rear so could be RTV'd there. This panel has been on my race car for 4yrs so is a bit beat up:

This is the newest panel I've made (gets delivered tomorrow) and I have extended the layup about 1/4" wider on the sides, with a little curl to add rigidity to the edge:

This is what that area looks like with the weatherstripping, molding, and center rib removed:
