Default 1993-2002 Hardtop Roof Panel CARBON FIBER

This is one of our current products we're trying to get made. Right now we're dropping over $20,000, just on molds for:

1993-2002 Camaro Center Mount Exhaust Valance CARBON FIBER

1993-2002 6LE by McNord REAR Camaro Bumper with DIFFUSERS

1993-1997 6LE by McNord Front Bumper with Lip

1993-2002 Hardtop Roof Panel FIBERGLASS

1993-2002 Hardtop Roof Panel CARBON FIBER

Sold our gauge overlay machines so we have the money for the molds BUT our private label company also requires a first minimum order of 10. That money we don't have.

The 1993-1997 bumpers are already getting made, we have 13 orders of those, we're listing them here to hopefully sell the other 7 (we have to order in multiples of 10) so right now those are almost $200 off...

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=246

The 1993-2002 rear bumpers are getting made as well (already have an order for one) so we really need to sell the other 9 so right now those are almost $200 off as well...

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=284

The 1993-2002 CME Valance in CARBON FIBER is a totally new item. We'd like to see it made but if we can't fill the 10 orders it won't be made. To try to get it filled we're getting rid of our profit margin AND paying shipping out of our pocket... This just makes our initial investment less and this way we'll have it in place to sell later for a profit, those who step up now help us, the community and themselves since the price will never be this cheap again, $200 off AND FREE SHIPPING....

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=285

LAST BUT NOT LEAST HARD TOP REPLACEMENT PANELS!!!! Now, we weren't going to make these before because they are so friggin expensive due to their size and shape. We recommended customers use our T-Top sail panel and our Targa and blend together to make a hardtop, well, that doesn't work as easily as we thought it would. SO, we're trying to offer you guys full replacements, MOLDED OFF AN OEM piece to be as close to an OEM replacement as you can get (just like our t-top panels)... In FIBERGLASS...

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=290

AND CARBON FIBER...

http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=291

Yeah, I know, they are expensive. It is literally like paying for a t-top sail panel and a targa roof because it is the same amount of material, molding, etc...

WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE THESE though, SO, we're knocking $200 off AND OFFERING FREE SHIPPING!!!! Again, we don't care if we lose a little in these first ten, it is an investment for us.

So there you go, lots of new stuff for cars that have been gone for a decade now. We're willing to take some losses and get them made (of course hoping we'll be making our profit back in the future) are you willing to help us out with a little of your tax money ?

Good **** as always. I think you have a real winner in the sail panels, but is there really that many hardtop guys out there willing to spend that on a new panel? Best of luck with the projects. I just know on this site everyone wants something until its time to dish out the cash..

That bumper looks tempting. Any chance you can put in on a Camaro to see how it looks. I saw your drawing but I would like to see real world results.

This roof panel in carbon fiber looks amazing. My '02 hardtop looks like it has acne it's bubbling so bad. Once I get the money I definitely wanna snag one of those up.

The roof panel does look amazing, all the carbon fiber looks amazing and is great quality. Not sure how Mark has lost it he's making pretty much every replacement panel needed on the market. The overlays have ran their course as did other parts.

Just ordered a carbon fiber hardtop panel after waiting 8 years for someone to make one of good quality AND saving for me to be able to buy one. Can't wait to get it (and be rid of the infamous sail panel bubbles)!

Please let us know the quality and fitment. Also the weight savings over the factory roof panel. Are these in stock?

I don't know the weight of the factory panel. They are not in stock and are made to order. Mine won't actually be installed for quite a while, though.

Carbon Fiber we have to make as they are ordered just to make sure they don't get messed up sitting around RK...
