is the hood matte and the roof gloss... can't tell by the angle. i'd look into getting it sprayed matte clear to match up.

RICER PUSHING THE LIMITS AGAIN!!!

Ugh, that brings back memories.....

The roof is a somewhat glossy finish and the hood and trunk are dry.

Thats something I definitely need to look into! Just gotta find a shop nearby I trust to do something like that! 56 pounds is a lot of weight to lose and look cool!

Nice... is this the

*Carbon Kevlar roof
*Carbon Fiber with plastic coating roof
or
*Plain Carbon Fiber roof

Reason why I asked is my buddy have some pics of a 240 with a plain carbon roof that flipped and skidded on the roof and the roof was disentigrated... driver only had a rollbar...
Im trying to get pics to post on Evom... it was nasty... it probably was made with not enough layers

If I do it...I will only buy carbon kevlar roofs

I guess you could ask AMS guys about the material, but either way I would never install 1 without a full cage. That being said, I will probably buy 1 once I decide to do a custom cage.
