We're actually set up to do that, either by CNC or a huge press we have.

HOWEVER, we'd need a $hit ton of orders, like 100 sets to start off, to cover the cost of making it AND acquiring the GM licensing...

They cant charge too much since the company doesnt even exist anymore right? Haha, That sucks, hard to get people to commit without seeing them but it would be awesome.

If you could make one that made that, and the targa all one piece, that would be really nice.

Shipping would make it so not worth it... Easier/cheaper for someone to just buy one of each and either fiberglass them together (if FG) or run as a two piece...

Can you e-mail me the pic so I can zoom in? They look like something we could waterjet and break (as in bend)...

How about some non dumbo side mirrors for the camaro. Delete is not really an option because of the fenders.

Mark, you know how a lot of the camaros had the "bubble in the roof paint" recall?

I for one, still have bubbles in my paint, and the way to fix it is to actually remove the roof panel and replace it with a new one, glue it down with the proper glue, and repaint.

well instead of going through all that just to get a stock black roof again, could you make the entire roof panel out of carbon fiber? that way a lot of people could fix the bubbles in the roof paint. it would end up looking like this:

Well I know youre working on the targa roof... but I have a hardtop (not a T-Top), and i dont want to change that. Im just talking about the roof "skin" or sheetmetal ~ whatever you want to call it. are you going to be at Bob's Big Boy in Burbank anytime soon? Id really like to talk to you about some ideas and Im quite involved in the Aftermarket Performance industry so I have some connections that you might be able to use. Thanks!

Guys, check out the sail panel thread in the appearance section: https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...ummies-78.html

Post #1556

These sail panels/roof combos are just so big that shipping for the buyers would be OUTRAGEOUS. The sail panel by itself will be a pretty penny as it is....but the Sail Panel WILL be offered in CF.
