Just like spy007 said, rivets and some sort of hard sealant they use...

No wind noise, however it is louder when it rains and the cabin is a bit louder with the exhaust sound. But no where nearing unbearable.

UGH YOUR CAR IS SO SEXY. me want..
Hey Drew, thanks man, appreciate it. I don't have 10k at once to drop on my car so it's little things every once in a while to make it different.

Panels went back on just like stock, no issues.

Thanks, I try to maintain a "clean look" with my cars, but then again, everyones opinions are different on what a clean look is.

I think when people hear the term overlay, they are thinking about seibons previous roofs that fit over the factory roof instead of being a full replacement like the AMS one.

Pimp status, I really don't like the wing too much it doesn't flow with the car. But that roof is pimp.

Yeah this is easily one of the best looking Xs I have seen. That wing really enhances the look.

To replace... break the spot welds on the old and remove

To install... Rivet new roof in place and use sealant

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. I didn't know that existed. Maybe I should drop by their site for once. That cf roof is kush though ! Sorry for my newness. Blame Seibon..

Is there any change in the noise inside the car ? I doubt it would be louder if you kept the headliner and what not, right ?
