****, I would love this for my evo. What does the MR/SE roof cost in parts alone? I am not interested in the carbon roof as I would just have it painted anyways and I like OEM body panels.

I don't remember exact prices but the MR roof was 800-850. It took forever to come in. The headliner was 400-450. And then a new dome light had to be purchased which was around $70. I ordered all the stuff thru STM and let them deal with it all.
I liked the oem roof better as well. The carbon is sick but I think it will look nice painted.

I don't think we have a total weight on it. It's one of those things, it's not for show (I mean, it IS pretty) but if you want to go fast, you NEED to have it.

I tried to negate as much of the cage as I could. STM pulled out all of the sound deadening, any extra crap under the dashboard , some other small stuff. Plus the aluminum roof and dry carbon hood will be another 50lbs I think Also the seats maybe took out weight. It weighed 2850 before with full interior 1/2 tank of gas

I think there was 50' of tubing used. So that in itself is 60lbs roughly. I really don't see that it added a ton of weight. I'm excited to put it back on the scales.

Nice! I weighed about the same (2820lb according to truck scale) with my 03 VIII w/ sunroof. I recently deleted PS added small front brakes and did a wire tuck BUT I still have that damn sunroof! I would love to hit 2699lbs! Goodluck with the rest of your build, STM did a wonderful job with this unfortunately I live in Cali, or I would have them do this for me as well!

Make a pre-bent kit that will pass nhra and ihra!!! Looks awesome I like how the rear bars hug the headliner and are close to the sides of the car.
