little mouse, looking at gregs ZR1 tonight and it appears to have possible delamination or at best buffer burn thru on clear coat on his carbon fiber top.....gotta have some defects for 117k + car, he also said he liked his new challenger better than camaro.

That sucks can't see how a dealer or local body shop can fix carbon fiber does not sound like the supplier to GM could even get it right if its delamination. Is the roof a seperate panel that just bolts to the rest of the structure like the other body panels.
