JesseCuster Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 So on one of my other threads, there was a differense in opinon. Heard some different things so i wanted to see what everyone else thinks Does the carbonfiber trunk, roofs, and hoods leak a lot? let me know what you think or have heard.
Mitchness Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I can't levy any opinion on the carbon fiber targas, but my cf roof, trunk, and Ameripol targa don't leak one bit.
Mitchness Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Is that a real question? Ha ha, j/k, Of course I'm enjoying them. You can lift the hood and trunk with one finger and the Ameripol never fails to turn heads... especially mine when inside the car.
JesseCuster Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 lol awesome does the ameripol makes things really hot on the inside like, TOO much sunlight
Mitchness Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 The bronze blocks around 60% UV and the blue blocks about 70% UV. I don't get hot in the car at all really. Besides, if it's hot enough to make the interior uncomfortable the roof shouldn't really be on anyway.
tallhamer88 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Both seibon and Vis Racing Vendors say most leak.. Odd tho i cant see your car looks good with a carbon fiber targa i would hold off and get the hood and trunk first. Cause i think just the Targa it will look un complete.
nobody Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 i say u car gets painted black first then a cf hood, or top,or why even trunk? lol otherwise it just looks silly, big whoop u got a cf hood, one tap and it curls up to ur windshield, black on black on the other hand then yeah, wher u have to get upclose and see the detail

But with the sun it shines. Now i think wat he doesnt kno cf is a bitch to take care of. During hot summer days where i live in Delaware we get about 97 98 is the hottest and that every once in a while it normal is about 90 and i gotta wax mine atleast every month if not every time i wash.
nobody Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 probably is hard to care of. here usual days bout 100! and its uber humid. ill look for a top first or a trunk. my hood is brand new i guess last guy wrecked it and he got a new hood. the hoses for the water thing aint even on yet im too lazy.
tallhamer88 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 i want to get a cf evo style hood ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. what your drive a mitsocrapty??
JesseCuster Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 wha..... your mom didnt say i wanted a evo i just like the hood
Inspectjdm Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 So on one of my other threads, there was a differense in opinon.Heard some different things so i wanted to see what everyone else thinks Does the carbonfiber trunk, roofs, and hoods leak a lot? let me know what you think or have heard. I owned one owned it for a year. First few month it leaked slowly so i changed my weather stripping then around end of the summer. we had a bad storm it leaked really bad seats where soaked, back plastic had water laying over top of them. Oh and Btw Carbon Fiber is A Real Pain in the Ass. I Recently Bought A Ameripool top and i love it. So far doesnt leak like the Carbon fiber one did.
JesseCuster Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 im preeeeety sure im going to get an ameripol roof me likes
tallhamer88 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 wha.....your mom didnt say i wanted a evo i just like the hood evo hoods belong on evos not del sols
JesseCuster Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 well mine is going to have one because i want it to have one haha and ill make it feel like it belongs
tallhamer88 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 well mine is going to have one because i want it to have one haha and ill make it feel like it belongs Shugs

JesseCuster Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 just lost me job a week ago or so so have u tried ebay for the other top ebay has everything haha
