I would love a nice fitting cf roof cap. One that actually wraps around the edges and doesnt just go up to the edges.

^ We would make it so that way it does fit under the molding strips that are between the quarter panel pillars and roof. You might have to get new molding strips since those bend and kink super easy, but its a small price to pay for a great looking roof cap!

I agree 100%.

The reason the Mastergrade cf roof cap failed is that they expected members to just used a strip of black vinyl around all the edges to hide the fact it doesnt sit exactly flush. If you really want inspiration look into IvoryGT. He is a member on here and G35driver. He has always produced the top fitting cf products on the forums, but his prices also reflect that fact. He has a cf cap for the G35 that is absolutely perfect.

I saw his work and do love it! I respect it very much since I know how much of a tedious job it is to have carbon fiber fit just right with out messing up the fragile surface.

I found some pics of his. If you want more here is his thread. Sadly he only makes on for the G35 so far. If he ever came out with one for the G37, I would get it in a second

Quick question.

What is the weight difference between the CF look option and Full CF option?

Not much. Maybe 2 lbs. To some people its a world of difference because it adds up with a bunch of other stuff they deduct. I wouldn't exactly know until I weigh each piece. We vacuum infuse everything so each piece weighs the same as the next and one before it.

Even if somebody purchased a full FG version of it. Its still lighter than the Stillen polyurethane version.

Thanks! You would prefer us to not drill? Or you not to drill? We don't drill them anyways. Reading through threads with the stillen splitter different people stratagize (spell check) different spots to put bolts in and the last thing I want to do is put holes and them not be filled by bolts.

I ment, I usually perfer not to drill cf myself. I thought the stillen splitter utilized the same holes where the bumper connects to the under body tray. Will I have to drill new holes?

Either way, I will just take it to my paint guy and have him figure it out I guess.

We do prefer the drilling to be done by you guys since you can match everything up perfectly since we don't have the car to match them up to. But the cf wont crack at all. As long as the drill bit isnt 3/4th of an inch you'll be fine ha.

But just like with everything no matter what you drill. Start small and go bigger if the hole is going to be big.
