Yes the CF roof has the provisions to clip the rain channels back on. It is exactly like a steel roof in every way. Fitment is 100% as good as stock.

I'm sure if you wax it and add a coat of clear like you do with any carbon fiber part, ie hood, rear spoiler and trunk, it will last a very long time. Procco's EVO has the same roof and it's perfectly in tacked and he has his car out in the sun 24/7!

PLEASE don't ever discontinue this product! I will need one, but not for awhile, since I have a GSR with a sunroof that needs to go on a diet, and some crazy old @$$hole punched a dent in the roof in Denver

The option of this roof is the only bright side to that scenario

One of my favorite parts out for the Evo! I wish I could get one, but Redilne Time Attack Street Class rules prohibit it.

nice!!! but i just dont have the heart to cut out my roof on my DD. it would be nice if there was an overlay version of this that was thinner so that it would add that much weight. still sick though
