Give me some time to make the sail panels happen 
I've been sick for three day but feeling better and need to knock out all these door panel orders before pursuing anything else.

Anyone have a sail panel in perfect shape that they would like to work out a trade on for one of the first carbon ones? Need a piece to pull the mold off

I'll save you guys some headache (since we attempted this)... You will not be able to use one off a car (even the most skilled body man with piano wire is no match for GM's cheap composite and overcompensating glue, it'll not be mold worth when it comes off).
You need either:
1) A brand new one from GM (I think like $400)...
or
2) Just make the mold on the panel on the car...
Best of luck!

Would the carbon fiber be UV coated and ment to be unpainted or would it be rough and paintable? Perhaps both options?
Would the panels install with glue like the factory panels?
If you remember, please send me a PM when you have made progress on this.

I would be interested in both the sail panel and hard top roof as mine is finally starting to bubble.

And yes they would be glued on.

I'm sure we could work something out. Shoot me a PM and if you have a pic of the door panels and the door with them off that would be helpful.
