Very interested. Is this panel replacement on a core only, or completely finished top (maybe both options)? Would you offer one without the clear coat that's ready to paint should a person choose to paint it like the OEM fiberglass top? Any idea as to the level of structural rigidity compared to either the OEM Lexan or fiberglass tops?

astepup said that

This is your best response to the interest and all the questions? It doesn't say anything.

Yeah no doubt. Wonder what their real customer service is like? 75% or more of the C4 market probably hangs out here and you answer questions like that.

Probably just testing the waters to see what kind of market there is for it.

This is a Carbon Fiber panel attached to a stock frame. Not an overlay.

I was not sure what options you were referring to.

1. Yes, you can but just the top panel. I will post price later.
2. PPG UV automotive clear coat - five coats.
3. Tops are $800 plus $78 shipping
4. You will need to send in your top. New headliner and weatherstripping is included.
5. Yes you can paint the carbon fiber top.
