I also need to de sun-roof my car. As 3dr roof skins seem a bit scarce a carbon roof could be a good way to go.. The same as Moonstone Steve; I'd like to know a little bit more about how it fits up to the screen etc. I wondered if it would be worth doing a sort of dented edge to the top of the windscreen pillar that the carbon could butt up to a create a more flush edge? Perhaps the Twins could shed some light on that..
How did the move to your latest coilovers go for you on the road/track? 350lb springs are pretty big on the back (well, 600lb is pretty big on the front as well!!). How did it impact on the handling. Does it get driven on the road as well still?
Cheers

Iain,
I bought the coilovers secondhand and did one track day and just found that when it was pushed hard into a corner the bumper splitter would drag on the ground,
I asked on here for some suitable spring rates and 350R and 600F were surgested, They work very well on the track but are terrible on the road with the terrible roads we have, but only do around 300 miles a year on the road.
