autobahn it has a spectacular aura about

I cant imagine it'd save enough weight to make it make sense. Also... how do you remove your roof? Seems to me that anybody who's had this done, overlays the carbon-fiber over the steel. To remove your roof, and bond a carbon fiber piece (to what?) sounds like it'd make a VERY structurally unstable car.
If the car is on a strict weight-diet, carbon-fiber doors with fixed lexan windows would save MUCH more weight.

I agree, if it is a CF overlay, no problem. However if you are going to cut out the steel roof and replace it with carbon fiber this sounds like a major job. May not even be possible.
