Just for clarification. That hardtop is for the 4 door E30 cabrio only.

Never heard or even seen an E30 4 door cabrio!! Post pics if you got 'em!

Anyway, I've had the idea of buying an OEM hardtop and getting a carbon fiber overlay. Possibly painted or unpainted, but don't know if it can be done.

if you take an e30 cab to any race event you have to have a roll bar and the top down so this would be useless for any track

does anybody know the weight of the factory hard top? would I at least be able to break even if I removed the folding assy. as far as weight . the only problem is finding a local hard top that I can buy...... somebody sell me one!!! oh and no news back from that fleabay seller on the carbon fiber top......figures

LOL at this this thread.

To answers some question - and clean up some inside/bad jokes..

There is no such thing as a 4-door cab.

The VIS hood looks ok from 20 feet away - from 10 feet away, you can see that the hood near the door is "bent" - and the gaps between the fenders and the hood are 10-12mm wide where factory would be 5 or 6mm.

I SWEAR that that they used a bent stock hood for the mold.

That probably fits like shit, plus you would have to get glass, and I bet it doesn't come with a headliner either. Just buy an oem hardtop.

I believe its an overlay, not an actual hardtop.

its all speculation from every1 here unless you have seen it in person. possibilities for shit from VIS are endless, but who knows, maybe they got their hands on an OE hardtop and made CF copies, which could be pretty cool for cabby owners @only $500. some1 with a cabby bite the bullet and buy one.

maybe the whole thing was a fluke...I went to check on the availibility of another C/F top and streetlethalinc is no longer a registered user of ebay.....hmmmmm.
