It will loose you weight if done properly and also lower you Center of gravity.
like i said though that will have to be done properly and not just stuck on the top of the metal.
will be very expensive unless you can do it partly yourself

lol, i hoped it would be more discussion when i said it!
yes if you have a sun roof on your car you would save some=)

but, dont know what the carbon roof has in weight! but I dont expect that you save so much weight comparing to a non sunroof mk3/4
