no have a body shop work around it, like they do pin striping and graphics on car their should be no reason why that can be accomplished with a small air gun or something and not that expensive, as a matter of fact see if master grade will pitch in since they "guarantee fitment"

Bittersweet is what it is... looks awesome except for the white edges.

I think "taping" it would just look bad. If I walked by the car and saw a CF roof, I would take a closer look and discover the stupid black tape/overlay all around and laugh my head off and call it F41L but good try.

Dam choy... Sucks to see how poorly it was fitted... Especially after the hassle you went thru for it... Hopefully Mastergrade steps up to the plate...

This is one of the reasons why I never jumped on their carbon fiber trunk... I want someone else to get it first so you can see all the mis-fitments and problems with it. With the roof cap... Choy Boy did us a favor here LOL... btw looks terrible with the white roof showing but other than that it looks sweeeeeeeeet. Mastergrade FTMFL.

So much haterade in this thread.

Nightlife- you'll see how well the trunk fits in a few days.


The roof was physically impossible to fit the through the gaps by the A-pillars and in the rear, there is only maybe a 1/32" gap. The only solution I can see for those with a white car, is a black vynl overlay under the cap. We are working to remedy the problem for both Choy and future roof cap purchasers..
