1st post updated with sunlight pics. Really beautiful in the sun - hope it fits (placed it on top of the existing roof and it looked like it'll fit properly). Just got it loaded into my Jeep and soon it'll be off to get clearcoated on top and epoxy primered underneath. Will weigh it when I drop it off at body shop.

Just picked it up from the body shop. Looks good. The body shop smoothed out the edge surfaces (even the ones that won't be seen) and the clearcoat filled in some minor surface imperfections it used to have on the triangles. The primer bled through the weave in pinhead sizes in a couple spots, and I've contacted 6LE to let their manufacturer know, but it's such a minor detail that it's not noticeable unless you're specifically looking for it. Definitely not a dealbreaker. I dropped it off with the car and I'll let it bake in the hot dry garage for a month or two before planning to install it.

Any progress on this yet? I'm looking into this with possibly leaving it bare on a pewter car.

Pretty nice. Epoxy primer is effective and it really sticks very well, and rust free.
