Sweet! Looks just like mine! A very nice job... fit is wonderful, and hardware transfers easily with the pre-drilled holes!

I'm still waiting to hear what the weight is vs. stock. Can someone who has one please put it on a scale?

Very nice man and easy to deal with, I just wish my top had turned out. I love the look of the carbon fiber top. I sent my glass top in last spring and had it re-done. It looks brand new. Maybe one of these days I'll go for the carbon fiber again.

I've conversed and emailed Pat Scorzetti (American Hydrocarbon) a few months back about his ability to do a carbon fiber targa top and he says that he can. It's about a 6-week turnaround and the price I believe was between $450-$495, and you have to ship it to him. Glass top as well as painted tops can be done. I plan to ship mine to him fairly soon. I have a few pieces on my car that he's done, and if the quality is anything like what he already offers, then it's a no-brainer.

Is that price for real carbon fiber or hydrocarbon fiber?

Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for clarification and photo comparison. It is black hydrocarbon and $495 plus shipping.
