Default *Anyone Interested In A Carbon Fiber Exterior Halo?

Hey gang!
Anyone interested in an exterior carbon fiber halo for their 05-13 Corvette?
We have been selling a good amount of our the carbon fiber removable tops BUT...






http://store.tkoperformance.com/roof.html


... sometimes we are asked.."do you have a carbon fiber halo"? Our answer is yes But its made by a different manufacture so we can't guarantee it will match.

So, we are looking to produce a matching C6 exterior Halo to either go with our roofs or to be sold by itself.



Its an expensive task. But if there is interest we will do it.
If you're interested in an exterior Carbon Fiber Halo or a Carbon Fiber Roof Halo Combo, please let us know below.

Thanks!

If TKO had sold a matched carbon fiber roof and bow I probably would have bought them last year.

I hear ya!
We sell a lot of roofs. From time to time we get people asking about the Halo. Since another manufacture makes it, we can't guarantee if it will match. So the thought of producing it (same manufacture) popped up. We just wanted to know if the idea had legs.

Thanks

I know tooling up for carbon fiber pieces is very expensive. And in this case I believe it's very important both pieces are of top of the line quality, and match because they are highly visible and positioned next to each to each other. Of course you guys already know this.

Am hopeful feedback justifies going forward. Standing by with checkbook in hand.

I will confirm an order for myself if this eventuates - expected similarly priced and quality + UV resistant.

There are also 2 others in my club whom aren't on this forum which like the idea and may purchase depending on funds. They will likely contact you should the green light be given.

I also have a family member in New Zealand definitely keen too.

Hello TKO people. I am needing a C6 type carbon targa and matching halo piece.
Are your proposals available as a matching pair now?
If so I will purchase upon confirmation. If not I will happily secure a future order with card details if needed.

We have a 2008 base model an would like to purchase matching Carbon Roof and Halo if quality and UV treated. Please let me know if this is or will become available soon. We plan on painting the car next month so hope to decide prior if to paint roof/halo or replace with carbon.
Thanks,
Jen

Hey guys..
The plan was to do a C6 Halo. However we sell a C6 halo (from another company) and it looks great.

Below is a picture from a customer with both the roof and halo.


If you have any questions, please contact us..

Thank you

Both look good in the photo. Is the Halo a similar weave and finished with similar UV protection at mentioned for the roof?
I think we are all weary of the clear yellowing over time - will this occur from normal usage?. I'll place an order for both if you can reassure of quality and UV protection.

Thanks,
Jen
