Really needs someone to have a good inspection under the liner.
I think it's a fantastic idea and would love to go with it, but I take the safety aspect into consideration, just don't want my head ripped off if I roll the car, come off the track the other day and could have rolled it easily, touch wood again!

New car group buy?? HAHAHAHA.
I need to lose about 100 lbs from where I am now, and that puts me at my minimum competition weight with AWD at my current power level with non DOT slicks. To close to home base to start from sratch.
Though I do want a new bone stock car to beat GT-R's with.

I did it once on a client's car. An E46 M. Made the swap to the CLS´s. I do like sunroofs and use frequently the one in my car, but my client wa very happy with the result, We used all thr OEM parts, from de CLS.
Although we didn´t use any tools out of our regular stock, we did use the special adhesive, had to remove both the rear glass and the windshield, 3 people where needed to perform the job safely.

I'd shy away from trying to do this. You may not save that much weight and it's unsafe as hell unless it's part of the roofline. Just my two cents. Pull carpet, rear seats, etc and go on a diet, maybe that will get 20lbs off the car. Do you have a goal for the car's weight? What about wheels? Sorry, wish I had better news, but a one-off custom carbon section would be insane money (not that it would stop some from doing it).....and unsafe at nearly any speed.

Probably a rules violation....if the PCA were to actually notice it.....and if you rolled...the thing, as Eric stated, would not stop your head and a rock/bar/stump from meeting in the same place and time.....
Not worth it. My 2c.
